隨著能量消耗的議題日趨受到重視,智慧電網已開始在日常生活中被應用。然而在現今智慧電網的建設中,卻缺乏通用的管理機制,也致使不同廠商所開發的智慧電網設備無法互相通訊。Session Initiation Protocol(SIP)過去為一個被廣泛使用在網路電話的通訊協定;但在本篇研究中,利用SIP控制網路家電的特性,作為智慧電網管理的一套通用機制。另一個被廣泛使用於網路管理的通訊協定Simple Network Management Protocol(SNMP),也適合作為智能電網管理之協定。本論文將兩協定分別移植至嵌入式系統,並比較其運作效能。初步結論為SIP的速度較快,但所佔記憶體空間較大。未來可依不同設備之特性,選用合適之管理協定。
As the energy consumption issue is getting critical, in many countries Smart Grid has become widely adopted in daily life. However, one major obstacle of the development of Smart Grid is that, the products from different vendors cannot communicate with each other easily, due to the absence of a general managing mechanism. Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has been widely used in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). However, it was also adopted as a protocol to control network appliances. In this thesis, we utilize SIP as a common mechanism to support Smart Grid management. Meanwhile, another candidate is the Simple Network Management Protocol, which is also a popular protocol in managing IP devices. In this work, both protocols were implemented on a real embedded platform, and the performance is further evaluated and compared. The experimental results showed that the SIP protocol stack occupies more memory space, but its response time is shorter. In choosing which management protocol to adopt, device manufacturers can make the technical choices according to whether they need to save the memory space or the response time.
