Abstract

Renewable energy and the smart grid have become a major focus in industry. The smart grid is an intelligent system which maximizes energy efficiency; it needs to continuously monitor power production and consumption. Remote Monitoring Systems (RMS) are a very useful tool for this purpose, however they are mostly implemented using hard-wired communications.

In this paper, we propose an RMS based on a wireless sensor network. In addition, a new anti-islanding method, implemented with the proposed wireless RMS, is presented. An experimental micro grid system has been implemented in order to verify the proposed RMS and the anti-islanding method.
