Advanced Metering Infrastructure (ami): Smart Grid Global Opportunity Analysis

The need for smart grids is universally accepted by utility companies

. A smart grid plays an important role in addressing the shortfall of supply in the face of growing electricity demand. Therefore, it is necessary to build intelligence into the electrical grid network to provide energy more efficiently, as companies cannot simply directly increase their output sufficiently to meet this demand. Smarter, more efficient allocation of the supply is required. Smart meters thus help the utility companies to better manage their energy and reduce the need for investment in new generating capacity.

Meter data management (MDM) allows the utility companies to store and analyze the energy usage data collected from customers. Companies that install these advanced meters invest in meter data management to provide storage for the large number of meter readings that will be collected from these meters every year. If utility companies opt for storing hourly or 15 minute intervals of data, this results in storing 8760 (hourly) or 35,000 (15 minute) meter readings for a year, compared to 12 readings per year through manual meter reading. It is essential for utility companies to invest in MDM systems to store and analyze such large amounts of data.

The basic function of the advanced meters is two-way communication. It enables utility companies to remotely read the meter data and control the usage of the customers. Data collection from advanced meters is generally achieved through Local Area and Wide Area Networks (LAN and WAN, respectively). There will be usage and maintenance charges that utility companies have to pay for data transmission through these networks, and, in order to get meter interval data, it is essential for utility companies to invest on the communication infrastructure. Therefore, remote meter reading necessitates investment for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and communication infrastructure.
