Implementation of Machine-to-Machine Solutions Using MQTT Protocol in Internet of Things (IoT) Environment to Improve Automation Process for Electrical Distribution Substations in Colombia ()
Abstract
In order to incorporate smart
elements into distribution networks at ITELCA laboratories in Bogotá-Colombia,
a Machine-to-Machine-based solution has been developed. This solution aids in
the process of low-cost electrical fault location, which contributes to
improving quality of service, particularly by shortening interruption time
spans in mid-voltage grids. The implementation makes use of MQTT protocol with
an intensive use of Internet of things (IoT) environment which guarantees the
following properties within the automation process: Advanced reports and
statistics, remote command execution on one or more units (groups of units),
detailed monitoring of remote units and custom alarm mechanism and firmware
upgrade on one or more units (groups of units). This kind of implementation is
the first one in Colombia and it is able to automatically recover from an N-1
fault.
