Distributed Energy Resources Monitoring and Control Based on IoT Protocol

As the introduction of distributed energy resources into power system is increasing and the service applications for them become more diverse, the scalability of the communication networks for monitoring and control becomes important. That is, a communication method considering loosely coupled and many to-many relationships between distributed energy resources and their applications needs to be applied. Therefore, this paper presents a design and implementation case of a communication method based on a publish/subscribe IoT protocol for monitoring and controlling distributed energy resources in a manner appropriate to this situation.
