Smart metering, also called advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), allows utilities to remotely monitor customers' energy consumption in near real-time. It provides data to both utilities and customers to make smarter energy choices. AMI improves utility operations by identifying energy use patterns, detecting outages, and locating potential energy theft. It also eliminates the need for manual meter readings and allows for variable pricing plans. The key capabilities of AMI include high-frequency recording of usage, remote disconnection and reconnection, outage detection, and enabling communication with in-home displays and demand response equipment.

- 1. Introduction to AMI What is Smart Metering? • Many different definitions • Siemens says that Smart Meters “enable” the last mile – Intelligent monitoring of consumption – Bi-directional data transmission – Increased security of supply and higher efficiency – Variable tariffs dependent on overall consumption and grid load Www.Rmktechnology.Com
- 3. Introduction to AMI What Smart Metering Offers • Provides detailed information on what is being consumed/delivered on a quasi-real-time basis – Supports in-home displays • Provides the data for consumers and utilities to make smart energy choices • Improves utility operations by (for example): – Identifying where energy is being consumed – Helps localize outages – Highlights areas with possible energy theft • Helps customers deliver energy to grid • Eliminates the need to change meters when services or features are modified (such as time-of-use) • Provides a pathway to the Smart Grid Www.Rmktechnology.Com
- 4. Introduction to AMI Smart Metering Applications • Monthly meter reading – total consumption • Off-cycle meter reading – total consumption • Monthly kW demand read • Static time of use (e.g., peak, off-peak, shoulder) • Real-time pricing (passive load control) • Curtailment or interruptible service • Power quality monitoring • Outage detection Www.Rmktechnology.Com

- 10. Introduction to AMI Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a comprehensive, integrated collection of devices, networks, computer systems, protocols and organizational processes dedicated to bi-directionally distributing highly accurate information about customer electricity and / or gas usage throughout the utility and back to the customers themselves. Key AMI Capabilities: • Record customer consumption and meter event information hourly or more frequently • Remote disconnection and reconnection • Outage detection • Quality of supply monitoring • Demand limiting • Communication interface to in-house displays, direct load control equipment etc. Www.Rmktechnology.Com

- 14. Introduction to AMI AMI System or AMS (Advanced Metering System) collects data from the meters and communicates the commands from the MDUS to the meters. There can be several AMI systems (1---n) in an AMI scenario, each one catering for a set of meters. MDM / MDUS (Meter Data Management / Meter Data Unification & Synchronization system) is the central system which communicates with the AMS and the Back Office components. It stores all the Meter data collected from different AMS and processes it as required by the Back-office applications. It also triggers commands and events as required by the business to the meters through AMS. SAP AMI 1.0 = IS-U 6.0 EhP4 SAP also developed a broad number of AMI enterprise services for communication with MDUS systems Www.Rmktechnology.Com
