The OSIRIS consortium is formed by 7 Spanish partners led by Unión Fenosa Distribución and includes research centers and industrial partners. The goal of the OSIRIS project is to optimize supervision of Spain's smart grid by maximizing functionality and data from smart meters, ensuring proper communication network monitoring, and early identification of power losses to improve quality and reduce losses. The project will analyze communication errors, define minimum smart meter monitoring needs, test new meter functionalities, and evolve energy balance and loss calculation algorithms.

OSIRIS – Optimization of the smart supervision in Distribution Networks 5

2. OSIRIS - Description, Objectives and Scope
OSIRIS is an innovation project to develop knowledge, tools and new equipment to
optimize the supervision of the smart grid we are deploying in the national smart meter
roll out.
Objectives:
• Maximize the functionalities, benefits and data from Smart Grids deployed.
• Ensure that the communication network built on top of the electrical network is working
properly in order to monitor the electrical network itself.
• Identify and minimize the root causes that provoke communication malfunctioning and
errors.
• Early identification of losses of supply in MV-LV networks to increase the quality of
supply.
• Reduction of technical and not-technical losses in LV networks.
Scope:
• Analysis and classification of error in the communications.
• Define the minimum number of smart meters to monitor the state and status of the
whole LV network.
• Test new functionalities in smart meters that should be available when the roll out ends.
• Evolution of Energy Balance, state estimation algorithms and calculation of losses in LV
networks.
