AMI Management
In the competitive electricity structure, the data exchange between supplier and customers becomes more important for efficient and secure operation of power systems. Automated meter reading(AMR)technology has played a role in helping utilities overcome their meter-reading challenges. However, it is not enough in today's environment. Utilities need an advanced metering infrastructure(AMI) to gather and utilize metered data in more intelligent and cost-effective manner.So a flexible and cost-effective AMI system is proposed.
Shanergy's AMI solution consists of Central Access Server, Data Concentrator Unit, Single Phase/Three Phase Smart Meter and Communication Module interacting over a range of reliable communication channels (RS485/PLC/GPRS/CDMA/3G/4G/Ethernet ).
The AMI system is bidirectional communicating where data can be sent to a meter or retrieved from it. It can realize remote meter data reading, remote parameters setting and remote connection and disconnection. The AMI system not only reduces the labor cost and increases meter-reading accuracy, but also provides accurate load-profile information
and billing data to help customers manage their power consumption. The distributed structure of the AMI system makes it easy to be adopted in different sizes of utility systems.
