Advanced Metering Infrastructure,

electronic meters with two-way communications technology for information, monitor, and control.

Smart Meters are advanced electronic energy measurement devices having the capacity to collect

information about energy usage at various intervals and transmitting the data through a

communication network to utility and receiving instructions from utility as well. In addition to

conventional electronic metering functionality smart meters through its built in commun

can undertake load switch activities for disconnecting/ connecting the load. Smart meters transmit

readings and other relevant data to central server at periodic interval. Smart metering system aims to

deliver multiple benefits by:

• Providing a platform for improved customer service, e.g. timely and accurate readings support billing

without need for estimation.

• Detailed and in time information of energy usage for identifying opportunities for energy savings.

• Building a platform for future smart grids.

• Allow remote connection/disconnection of supply.

• Measurement electricity exported.

1.3. Objective

AMI initiative is targeted to achieve.

Operational Efficiencies: improved reliability and lower operating costs in areas such as meter

reading, distribution system maintenance, and outage management.

Protection of Revenue: Reduced revenue loss due to the theft of power directly from the

distribution grid and tampering with the meters, as well as revenue “leakage” in some

customer processes.

Increased Cash Flow: rolling out monthly billing cycle.

Lower bills to Customer: achieving the conservation benefits, operational efficiencies, and

revenue protection lead to utility rate reductions which translate directly into customer

savings.

Improvement in Customer Service: provide real

and cost, and enable better customer communication around outages.

Conservation and Energy Efficiency: energy and capacity savings achieved through time

rates, effective communication and incentives to customers, customer

use, and grid operational improvements.

Increase in employee productivity: With lesser operational errors employees can focus on their

core jobs.
