Advanced metering infrastructures: the integration challenge

Smart meters are a tremendous source of data for utilities worldwide. And, an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is the critical link that makes it possible to deliver that data to a utility’s enterprise and meter data management systems (MDMS). But it’s critical that the data is accurate, and that can be a complex, costly and time-consuming challenge to put in place—from design to development and testing—especially when a utility has multiple AMI head-end systems installed. What’s needed is an out-of-the-box AMI integration approach that simplifies the transmission of meter data from AMI head-end systems to enterprise systems.

Gain insights with timely, accurate meter data

Siemens EnergyIP® AMI Adapter seamlessly integrates head-end systems with Siemens EnergyIP Grid Application Platform and MDMS. The AMI Adapter supports two-way communication between the AMI head-end systems, and ensures data is processed accurately—including data from multiple head-end systems—and sent to the EnergyIP platform where it is leveraged for asset management systems, customer information systems (CIS), outage management systems and workforce management systems. With Siemens out-of-the-box AMI EnergyIP Adapter applications the data can be leveraged into timely, actionable insights for utility operators.

Why choose Siemens EnergyIP AMI Adapter?

• Keep your system up-to-date While AMI head-end systems perform software releases/ updates once or twice a year, the EnergyIP AMI Adapter’s definitions are automatically updated as they’re released. This feature reduces the operational burden on utility professionals that comes with updating firmware definitions for head-end systems and adapters that connect to back-end systems.

• Pre-testing reduces errors Siemens AMI Adapters are pretested against generic head-end system implementations. Siemens partners with AMI providers to ensure efficient and timely testing of the head-end system prior to release, significantly reducing potential data mapping and operational errors.

• Seamlessly manage multiple vendor systems Maintenance agreements ensure any bugs found in the AMI Adapter are repaired, and Siemens provides expert help in addressing integration issues that may result from working with multiple vendor products.

• Industry standards-compliant Included CIM IEC61968-9 and MultiSpeak libraries accelerate development and improve final adapter quality for head-end systems that support these standards.

• Software-driven flexible, scalable approach The AMI Adapter software development kit (SDK) ensures flexibility and scalability that easily supports the operational transactions that may be produced by as many as tens of millions of meters.

Siemens EnergyIP AMI Adapter features:

• Schedule regular meter reads The AMI Adapter receives scheduled meter reads as files or via CIM or MultiSpeak web service interfaces, and then processes them via independent ports and queues. Scheduling meter reads ensures they have minimal impact on overall platform performance.

• Provision and synchronization processes The EnergyIP Platform and AMI Adapter synchronize enterprise-level system-of-record information with head-end systems and meters, and automated updates of this information ensure continuous data accuracy while minimizing system maintenance requirements.

• Manage device control transactions The AMI Adapter can request device control transactions, with responses received remotely via EnergyIP’s activity gateway or graphical user interface, enabling operations management functions including connects / disconnects, on-demand reads, power status verifications and meter pings to be executed manually or automatically within other enterprise applications.

• Flexible device event reporting Siemens EnergyIP Platform and AMI Adapter support real-time or batched device event reporting, delivered via web services or as a file.

Siemens EnergyIP AMI Adapter: the cost-effective solution

A robust AMI adapter ecosystem helps utilities cut costs by efficiently managing smart metering data. In fact, a utility with two or more head-end systems can save as much as 60% of the costs associated with managing integration with head-end systems and maintaining data quality, yielding savings of at least one dollar per meter per year.
