Some Definitions

� What do we mean by:

� AMI

� Smart meters (we don’t like that term)

� MDM

5

Simple Description for AMI

� Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) - A fixed network and meters providing interval usage (at least hourly) and collected at least daily.

Key features:•Provides interval meter readings to utility everyday on reliable basis

•May provide notification of outages

•May allow utility to read meter at any time

Key benefits:• Lower costs• Improves customer services

•Supports efficient operations

•Supports flexible pricing plans

Simple Description of Smart Meters

� We prefer the term ’Advanced Meter’� Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) needs advanced (not smart) meters, and smart meter data management software

� An Advanced Meter should:� Measure the time series flow of a commodity

� Record other details and values� Voltage

� Reactive measurements

� Accept remote commands� Configuration

� Turn on, turn off

� Poll for data

7

What Smart Meters Aren’t

� Should NOT:

� Validate, edit, or estimate� Enable use of data that the meter does not have (weather, load profile of other meters on the street)

� Map / frame consumption data� Time of use buckets, Seasons, Critical peak

� Perform peak demand calculations

� Restrict types of available product� Customer / utility selects product independent of meter

� Predict or analyze� Future consumption

� Customer profitability

These activities should be done “just in time” – this will future-proof your systems

8

Simple Description for MDM

� Meter data management (MDM) - A system to manage large volumes of data supplied by a variety of AMR/AMI systems.

Key features:•Persistent storage of meter data

• Interfaces to AMI/AMR networks

•Capable of validation and editing

• Interfaces to billing, outage management, other key systems

Current State MDM

� Some form of MDM is in use at every electric and gas utility today� More advanced use is limited to load analysis, larger Industrial and Commercial meters

� Primary use of MDM today� Load analysis

� Feed data to complex I&C billing

Business Requirements for AMI/MDM

� Benefits of this reference architecture –these are the “requirements” for our AMI/MDM solution� Lower meter reading costs

� Shorten customer call times

� Advance product options and billing capabilities

� Remote detection – Outage and Network Management

� Critical peak management

� Prepayment

� Theft discovery

� Asset management (predictive maintenance of distribution equipment)

� …

Critical Peak Mgmt: Rate adjustments

� Varying flat rates monthly rather than annually may produce 30 percent of the peak-shaving gains anticipated through real-time pricing

California Energy Institute, CSEM WP-143R)

Bill Analysis for High Use

� Facilities management

� Residential:

� Pool heating

� HVAC for high-square-meter houses

� Commercial

� Lighting & HVAC when closed

Bill analysis for high use

� “Likely” theft detection

Requirements for Outage Management:Notification + Verification

� More information about outages is known sooner

Requirements For Network Management

� AMI Network Management System (NMS) integration points:

� Real-time power messages

� Power status check

� Restoration verification

� Voltage monitoring

� Momentary outage analysis

� Switching management

23

Tomorrow’s Business Drivers for MDM

� What we’re looking forward to:

� Finer resolution, by an order of magnitude (from hourly to minutely)

� Standards as ubiquitous as IP or GSM or 802.11

� Corrections to grid ’disturbances’

� Optimizing grid assets
