Background
• In 1998 the Water& Electricity Department Privatized & ADWEA Was established
• The sector Evolved into distinct Generation, Transmission, Distribution, and into 9 separate companies
• Independent Regulation & Supervision Bureau (RSB)
• There are two distribution companies AADC & ADDC
Background ……continue
• The companies set goals to:
– Offer future proof solution for energy
– Improved Customer service , CRM & Billing and
– Comprehensive Energy data management
– Paving the way towards a SMART network
• CRM / Billing project was completed in 2005
• AMI project was established in Aug 2006

DESIGN
• Water & Electric meter data collected by “End Point Units”
• A multi point system collects data via Power Line Carrier (PLC) at the base of high rise buildings
• Data is then transmitted via Meshed wireless & Fiber Optic network to the servers
• Locations where the meters are far apart, RF technology is utilized instead of PLC

Implementation
• Four Phase Approach
1. Collection & Initial Validation of meter data
2. Verify & Analyze data for the purpose of billing
3. Integrate into the CRM & Billing system (bi-directional process)
4. Integration into the entire ADWEA SMART network
