Abstract

For proper management of the increasing energy consumption in today’s world; there is a need for the development of smart power systems. Advanced metering infrastructure is an integral component of the smart grid. For the automation of substation level energy analysis, smart meters are necessary which utilize Device Language Message Specification (DLMS)/ Companion Specification for Energy Metering (COSEM) protocols as the base standard for architecture, functionalities and communication. For the proper growth of the smart infrastructure for the power system, the importance of meter data is increasing. In this paper, a virtual meter is developed to mimic the meter and to make the users understand the behaviour of the meter and the DLMS specifications without the necessity of having the meter itself.
