Análisis e implementación de una plataforma para el estudio de las comunicaciones de una microrred eléctrica mediante un sistema embebido

Abstract

This monograph presents the design and simulation of a smart grid with device interconnection using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and embedded platforms based on Raspberry Pi. The main objective is to analyze and validate communication architectures that enable distributed, resilient, and efficient management of renewable energy resources in simulated urban environments. Photovoltaic and wind generation models are implemented using discrete-event simulation in Simulink, whose data is transmitted to physical nodes managed by Raspberry Pi computers in charge of monitoring, visualizing, and exchanging energy information. Different communication topologies, particularly star and mesh, are evaluated, analyzing their advantages and limitations in terms of latency, fault tolerance, and scalability. Additionally, a cross-platform graphical interface is developed in Python to represent the state of each node, enable decentralized decision-making, and simulate energy lending logic between nodes. The results obtained demonstrate the technical feasibility of the proposed solution, as well as its potential for application in real-world environments where energy autonomy, remote monitoring, and resilience to communication failures are required.
