Session Abstract

10:00 - 10:30 am EDT

Meter Data Analytics as a Key to Successful AMI Deployment

It has been widely discussed that AMI produces orders of magnitude more meter data than previous technologies. After deployment, some utilities have in essence ignored the value of additional data and just use the meter data primarily for billing as they always have. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that the data has great value to the entire enterprise, but that it takes systematic analysis to obtain the value. Using Meter Data Analytics (MDA), the value of the meter data has been proven by several utilities in areas such as revenue protection, meter operations, customer care, energy efficiency, distribution planning and operations, and finance. What is not as clear to many is the value of MDA during the AMI deployment. This presentation will explore the value that several utilities are getting from MDA during their AMI deployment, including:
  • Isolating real meter or network issues from non-issues by combining the many event flags with usage analytics.
  • Identifying meter or network issues that are not indicated by any event flags
  • Detecting bypass-theft (i.e. jumper insertion) immediately after installation of AMI
  • Identifying pre-AMI meters that are slow or tampered with to pre-empt high-bill complaints after the AMI install
  • Monitoring AMI network and meter performance to ensure contract compliance
  • Supporting on-going AMI maintenance and root-cause analysis
Note: For quality purposes, this presentation was pre-recorded on April 20, 2012 for initial broadcast during this V-Summit. The live Q&A discussion on April 26 will begin at 10:40 am EDT and go for approximately 10 minutes.
