Time or System sensitive Data (TOD/ABT) – Charge based on System health

Falling Communication and Computing costs

More Data – More Information – Informed Customer – Satisfied Customer

Increasing demands of granularity of data

Utility Centric

Customer Centric

Better demand response management by near-time feedback / inferences

Control Functions demand Status feedback

Direct load control, Automatic, sensor based, timed….., individually

Localised networking with ZigBee, LONWorks…..(“short hop” comms)

Triple Play, Multi-play

Response Centric

Equipment Centric

Data – port it once, process many – many applications share same data – at least SCADA & MIS (SAP like)

Meter Data porting requirements increase - to cope the highest demand of data / frequency

provide meter data to other applications inside the utility increasing as other uses for the data are realized

Requirements for provide meter data to parties outside the utility increase.

Particularly in jurisdictions with competitive retailingAlso for energy service companies and others providing services

to utility customers, By agencies wanting to analyze aggregate or anonymous data

Application Centric

Consumer Centric

On-demand power status requests – Political and Statutory bodies

Connect – Disconnect; Power On - OffDemand for Reducing Realization Period Increasing Data demand is mainly for

awareness, status information rather for billing

Process Centric

Traditional utility applications will continue to support and exist with an AMI deployment.

CIS and Meter Asset management systems to add manageability of connectivity components

Billing cycles to shift off from Geographical considerations – To Customers Choice, Usage pattern, Customer pattern

Utility wants SCADA & Metering to share information

Customers are required to be given not just data, but proactive suggestions for DSM using knowledge base – Self Service

Minimum 15 min interval data (ABT de facto standard) – daily read for all residential meters

TOD details over cumulative figuresReports to Customers over web –

Information anywhere.Necessity for multiple & better connectivity

Intellectual Property retentionDelay in formulating the metering

standardsVolume Requirement of devices beyond

utility metering pointConsumers wants direct Access to devices

– why to depend on utility?Issues of extant power quality.

Consideration of “do something” to increase power quality; AMI as “Hi-Fi”

Integrated remote control is looked upon with suspicion

Meter manufacturers are concentrating on “packaging” intelligence in devices

Integrators are slow to follow the SOA / Web services suit.

Electricity is to be “taught” to the mass as a Commodity

To adapt for multiple tariffs, TOD, TOW, TOY Integration / Extension of Multiple Services VAS, Triple Play, Multi PlaySystem Information / Proactive Information

regarding availability, maintenance, payment collection

Knowledge Base for Demand Side Management

Remote / Scheduled / Event based switching of circuits at levels deeper than that of the utility meter

Metering at all elements to have Energy Accounting, Theft Management and Operational Optimisation.

Electricity being concurrent, postmortem only is possible.

Meter Inter-changeability

Even when throwing in the river, measure what you throw,

or

Even waste should be measured and discarded,
