Abstract |
The current energy saving technologies rely on conventional data logging systems, where the current methods in retrieving the energy data is not convenient, and the cost of the data logging systems is high. The Automatic energy Meter Reading (AMR) technology is network-based applications used by electric/energy companies to increase performance and reliability of their energy meter reading and management systems. A mobile agent is a program (code and data) that can autonomously migrate from host to host in a network of heterogeneous computer systems and fulfill a task specified by its owner. Intelligent and secure Automatic Meter Reading and Management using Mobile Agents can be of great importance for municipalities and energy distribution companies so as to minimize the number of traditional visits required by the distribution company, hence decreasing the number of employees used in performing this traditional time consuming and high cost work. In this work we will start by surveying the current technologies and techniques used in handling remote meter reading and management. New modeling and simulation results for different configurations and techniques of automatic energy meter reading and management systems using mobile agents will be presented and compared to traditional client server techniques. |
