Smart Grid Demand Response: A Wireless Sensor Network Approach

TL;DRAbstract

Wireless Sensor Networks are being used now, in more applications than ever imagined. Much like the Internet and other revolutionary telecommunications technologies that have been developed in the past two decades, wireless sensor networks are slowly starting to become a part of the general populations everyday life. So much so that they are now being integrated into everyday consumer electronics and appliances, to monitor our electricity consumption habits. The goal of course is to educate customers about wasteful spending habits, and hopefully encourage them to participate in programs that will not only reduce electricity bills, but also help preserve an already archaic electric power system. To this end, customer appliances and their electric power meters must be retrofitted with small easy to use wireless sensors to form a network capable of providing real time data to the customer about their electricity consumption. This thesis details how such a network can be created not only b
