In the field of water resources management, the application of Smart Water Grids (hereafter SWG) has rapidly gained traction as a popular method for achieving stable water supplies and minimizing the wasting of water. However, unlike the smart grids that have been applied to electricity and gas sectors, Smart Water Grids are more complicated due to the fact that water meters are typically installed under the ground making power supply and data transmission more difficult. This study takes full advantage of analog meters by using L(inductor)/C(Capacitor) sensors in the water meter counters for the purpose of developing various wireless communication methods in order to find an optimal transmission method. Wireless communication systems were examined according to their specific frequency environmental conditions to optimize the pipeline network operation and management. |
