Smart Grids (AMI system)

Leading the Future of Power Businesses

Intelligent Remote Metering System Platform

AMI METER SYSTEM

Legacy infrastructure limited to conventional power usage (kWh) measurement

Improvement

Providing consumers with direct electricity usage and time-based rate information
Protection of personal information using encryption technology
Provides demand management data and power facility monitoring functions

Real-time power usage data and service provisioning by AMI

Enables consumers to voluntarily reduce electricity usage

Unit-level electricity

Measures household electricity usage via bidirectional communication network using PLC method

DCU (Data concentrators)

Data stored in DCU (Data Concentrator Unit) is transmitted to servers via NETWORK (TCP/IP)

AMI Server

Server-stored data is provided to customers in real time
– Serves as foundational data to improve energy efficiency

Expected Effects
  • Inspection server data is provided to customers via smartphone apps – visual and immediate information
  • Management offices use inspection server data to issue electricity bills and reduce costs by replacing manual meter readings
