MDM The Solution Briefly Defined

Meter Data
Management
 Business Drivers for MDM
AMI is the latest but certainly not the only MDM driver
Demand Response is driving AMI and AMI is driving
demand for new generation of MDM.
Energy Policy Act of 2005
Encourages electric utility investment in advanced metering systems
Requires the PUCs to investigate implementation of standards
relating to time-of-use rates and advanced metering initiatives
Each electric utility is required to offer each customer class a time-
based rate schedule that reflects the variance, if any, in wholesale
cost of generating and purchasing electricity and enables electric
consumers to manage energy use and cost through advanced
metering and communications technology.
The law provides that customers of third party marketers are entitled
to the same time based metering and communications devices as
an electric utility's retail customers.
 Business Drivers for MDM cont.
Economic and Regulatory Forces
Rising and more volatile energy prices
Peak demand is increasing faster than total energy use
Greater US focus and momentum at state and city level on green
house gas emissions

State PUCs recognizing that the status quo is not

working
Recent pilots suggest that customers are open to time-based rates
and direct load control programs
And can achieve demand response with such programs
 Technology Drivers for new MDM

Cost of solid state meters had decreased in last

10 years and capabilities have increased
Solid state meter is the foundation for AMI
meters
Significant advancements in communications
wireless and power line communications
Merging communications methods: Zigbee,
Bluetooth, GPRS

 MDMs Role in Utility
Isolate the CIS system from the
complexities of meter data collection and
management
Multi-vendor data collection and management
Collection of data using multiple methods
including remote interrogation (phone, IP) or
handheld, probe, mobile, RF fixed network, PLC,
BPL, etc.
Two way interaction with the AMI system to
support key AMI business benefits
Remote connect/disconnect, on-demand reads,
demand response events
Provide persistent data storage with customer
information in enterprise-class and scalable
database
Integrate and analyze frequently collected
data
Existing applications do not need or support
collection of detailed data
Enable data availability across the
enterprise Distribution, forecasting, load
research, customer service, revenue
assurance, etc.
 MDMs Role in Utility - cont
Comprehensive interval data management
Validation, Editing and Estimation
Flexible billing determinant calculations
Workflow tools for utility operators to effectively manage key
operations (data import, validation failures, calculations, and exports)
Data processing reports, exception reports, customer
usage
Integrate non-billing features of meter reading systems
Outage, restore, tamper, connect/disconnect, demand response,
distribution monitoring
Enable change
Integration of multiple systems, vendors, technologies
 MDM Reduces Risk for AMI
AMI roll-outs take a long time, must co-exist with traditional
meter reading methods
Use MDM to consolidate interfaces rather than build point-to-point
Use MDM to phase in AMI on a route-by-route basis
Legacy systems have limited integration options
Use EAI to enable integration with new technologies
Leverage MDM to manage new asset information and interpret new actions
Standard billing systems cannot manage daily or hourly reads
Use MDM to manage detailed data and provide commercial-ready billing
determinants to CIS
AMI costs are justified on new applications of detailed data
Use MDM and applications to support new users with new applications
 Some Key MDM Functionality
Security
Verify sender has rights to send data for meter
Verify requestor has rights to receive data for meter or perform commands
Exception handling
Event or meter data arrives for unknown meter
No meter data arrives for known meter
Usage for inactive meters, zero usage for active meters
Linking meter data to operations
Outages by premise or transformer rather than endpoint
Energy usage combined with AC cycling or thermostat settings
Meter diagnostic events over time
Filtering
Storm mode for outages
Outage/tamper combinations
Tamper and usage changes
Validation
Actual vs. historical averages
Billing Determinant Calculations
Peak Time Rebate for non-TOU customers
absolute or % difference of actual usage during critical peak hours vs. average usage for same hours on 5 non-event like days
Net meters, check meters, usage allocation
