  Abstract

The Microgrid is a distributed power system that can utilize independent distributed power sources to provide power self-sufficiency. Communication methods used for power data management in Microgrid are PLC, Ethernet, WiFi, ZigBee, Bluetooth, and 6LoWPAN. ZigBee is one of the best technologies for monitoring equipment that is tightly crowded in a small area with short-range, low-power wireless technology. ZigBee is being studied as a technology applicable to various indoor and outdoor Microgrid environments such as photovoltaic/wind power facilities, and home networks. ZigBee should be considered to a method for effectively configuring a network since the management area and distribution are different for each facility. In this paper, we propose a scalable topology organization algorithm based on ZigBee tree applicable to various Microgrid environments. Since the proposed topology organization algorithm constructs the topology considering the scalability of the network, it is an advantageous technique when the managed facilities are widely distributed compared to the ZigBee standard topology configuration method. Through the OMNeT++ simulation, the performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed in terms of the number of nodes participating in the tree and reliability of the link.
