Diseño de una red lpwan para la implementación de medidores inteligentes en cantón San Cristóbal provincia de Galápagos

Abstract

The climate change that the planet has suffered in the last century due to the environmental impact of human activities has put at risk the fragile balance of ecosystems around the entire planet. This is especially dangerous in isolated ecosystems, where unique flora and fauna have developed, unprepared for the rapid changes in environmental patterns that have occurred in recent decades. In this context, the care of the Galapagos National Park, declared a natural heritage of humanity, is a priority for both government organizations and NGOs. This project was born as a solution to the problem of environmental pollution caused by the use of fossil fuels within the capital of the province, which is mainly used in the generation of electrical energy for domestic use and the economic activities of its residents. It seeks to apply the knowledge acquired in telecommunications networks to provide tools that allow monitoring the use of electrical energy in the residential sector by the end user in real time through the design of a layer 2 network capable of interconnecting different smart meters with the data center of the power plant, with the aim of providing a real-time consultation service of electricity consumption to promote responsible consumption, avoid the improper and excessive use of the energy generated and make the energy billing process transparent to the consumer final, thus achieving energy savings and avoiding the burning of fossil fuels in the island's thermal power plant.
