 AMI(Advanced Metering Infrastructure )

• Advance metering is a metering system which

record the customer power consumption with
other hourly, the measured data fastly over
communication network to a central
collection point.
AMI(Advanced Metering Infrastructure )
 BENEFITS
• Anti theft.
• Two way communication.
• Real time and Automatic billing.
• Improved billing and customer
support operations.
 Definition of Smart Meter

• Smart is a new kind of energy meter. This next

generation of meter are a replacement for
your existing meter and send electronics
meter reading to your energy supplier
automatically.
• There are both gas and electricity smart
meters.
Smart meter
 Smart Meter Technologies
• The Smart Meters collect data locally and transmit
via a Local Area Network (LAN) to a data collector.
This transmission can occur as often as 15 minutes or
as infrequently as daily according to the use of the
data.
• The collector retrieves the data and may or may
not carry out any processing of the data.
• Data is transmitted via a Wide Area Network (WAN)
to the utility central collection point for processing .
• Since the communications path is two -way
 Basic Types of Smart Meter
Systems
There are two basic categories of Smart Meter
System technologies as defined by their LAN.
 Radio Frequency (RF).
 Power Line Carrier (PLC).
 Radio Frequency (RF)
Smart Meter measurements and other data are transmitted by
wireless radio from the meter to a collection point. The data is
then delivered by various methods to the utility data systems
for processing at a central location.
 There are different method of Radio Frequency (RF).
1. Mesh Technology
The smart meters talk to each other to form a LAN cloud to
a
collector.

2. Point to Point Technology

The smart meters talk directly to a collector, usually a tower. The tower
collector transmits
 Power Line Carrier - PLC
 Smart Meter measurements and other data can be
transmitted across the utility power lines from the
meter to a collection point, usually in the
distribution substation feeding the meter.
 Smart Meter Installation

 The planning for the installation of Smart Meters is just as

important as the actual installation itself.
 Different organization which install smart meter.
I.The National Electric Safety Code (NESC) for utility
wiring.

II.The National Electric Code (NEC) for home wiring.

III.ASNI C12.1 – Code for Electricity Metering.
