HyDSMaaS: A Hybrid Communication Infrastructure with LoRaWAN and LoraMesh for the Demand Side Management as a Service

Seeking to solve problems in the power electric system (PES) related to exacerbated and uncontrolled energy consumption by final consumers such as residences, condominiums, public buildings and industries, electric power companies (EPC) are increasingly seeking new information and communication tech...

With this in mind, this work aimed to study, propose, and implement a hybrid communication infrastructure with LoRaWAN and LoraMesh for the demand-side management as a service (HyDSMaaS) using IoT devices such as long range (LoRa) to provide an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) capable of performing all these applications as a service offered by EPC to end consumers.

From the preliminary results it was found that the LoRaWAN network achieved a range of up to 2.35 km distance and the LoRaMESH one of 600 m; thus, the latter is more suitable for scenarios where there is little interference and the SMs are at long distances, while the other is used for scenarios with greater agglomeration of nearby SMs. Considering the hybridized scenario between LoraWAN and LoRaMESH, it can be seen that the implementation possibilities increase, since its range was approximately 3 km considering only one hop, and it can reach 1023 devices present in a mesh network. Thus, it was possible to propose the actual implementation of LoRaWAN and LoRaMESH protocols as well as the hybridization of the two protocols for HyDSMaaS.
