This paper reports on a study focused on smart energy management using advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). The paper digs into AMI communication standards understood and proposed by power utilities and regulators. Furthermore, the paper discusses a study of different AMI communication networks architectures designed by various proprietors and compares these system architectures with requirements...
The potential uses for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is vast. However, much of their potential can only truly be unlocked by giving them a higher level of autonomy. This paper focuses on an autonomous Collision Avoidance System using Specific Acceleration Matching, which is termed the ‘CASSAM’ in this paper. This approach is being studied as it may prove an effective means to increase the level...
A transmit chain test bed is used in the project presented in this paper to test an 802.11g OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) Software Defined Radio (SDR) base station beacon frame transmitter. Several prior Gnuradio test bed setups show how a Gnuradio SDR Transmitter is able to communicate with another Gnuradio SDR. This paper additionally shows how a Gnuradio SDR Transmitter is able...
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a relatively new field in South Africa. The first standard to govern the envisaged AMI implementation was released in 2008 in NRS 049 document. This paper reports on the investigation of supporting communication networks for AMI. There are several approaches that the South African utilities (Eskom and Municipalities) can follow to implement AMI communication...
