3. Objective of AMI system
To fully automate the process of meter reading and provide billing determinants to CC & B without any human intervention.
Faster detection of metering abnormalities, theft and Meter faults.
Monitoring and profiling energy consumption of consumers.
Provide load profile data.
Facilitate Load forecasting and Demand Response Initiatives.

4. Mechanical meter vs Smart meter
Smart homes
Mechanical meter vs Smart meter
The "smart" meter can be utilized to:
Read the meter both locally and remotely (on demand)
As a sensor
Remote limitation of the throughput through the meter to control demand
Interconnection to premise-based networks and devices, remote control of meters within home
Remote provisioning of services (e.g. Security)
The opportunities are endless…
Allow customers to have fun with High tech products the way they were meant to be ....
Control almost anything:
Lighting
Security Systems
Thermostats
Remote controlled devices
Home controls
Traditional/
AMR meter
Manual/
Automated

6. Head End System Head end System:
A common HES is deployed to read all makes of meters(IS15959-P2,IS16444).
Raw files received from different types of meters are processed through the respective API utility tools and converted into XML file.
Also, health status of all the installed modems, communication logs and events are captured in HES.

7. Meter Data Management System
Meter Data Management System (MDMS)-Oracle :
MDM is the central repository for meter data and maintains interval data, event logs , register data & outage history for all the connected meters.
The MDM system has a facility to upload meter data read through CMRI. This facility is used to manage the data of meters not covered under AMR.
MDM validates meter data as per predefined validation rules to ensure that only correct data is sent for billing.
The MDM system provides many useful MIS reports

8. Meter Data Management System
The MDM system has following functional elements
- Data collection, aggregation and analysis
- Validation, Editing & Estimation
- Report generation and status reporting
- Event list

9. Integration Method Middleware :
The SOA is used for integrating HES, MDM and CC & B
New meter creation or deletion is done in CC & B system which is communicated to the MDM through the middleware.

10. Communication -Last mile connectivity & related issues
Selection of communication technology
< Speed
< Reliability
< Data Security
< Cost ( Capex + Opex )
GPRS was selected as the best option on the above parameters for All Customers.
Meter protocols
Intelligent Modems are deployed which collect meter data using API
API are provided by Meter suppliers.
Modems collect data from meter at 15 minute interval & stores the same in its memory.
The data is pushed every midnight to HES.

11. Integration Approach Integration with Billing system
< Billing data is collected in MDM.
< MDM does data validation
< SOA Middleware is used for pushing data from MDM to CC & B
Sharing meter data with customers
< Customer logs on to Customer Web Portal through internet.
< Customer portal pulls meter data from MDMS

15. Targeted Customer Benefits
Power Quality - accurate timely load and voltage information for Network planning
Utility/Customer Business Savings - meter reading cost
- asset management - outage management - theft reduction - other operational savings
