  18. Meter Data Management Overview

  19. Current Market Industry Analysis Smart Meter initiatives continue!“…annual smart meter shipments are projected to surpass 140 million units worldwide by 2016, up from 25.4 million in 2011. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.9 percent over the 2011 to 2016 period” - Dean Chuang, IDC Energy Insights

  20. Evolution of Meter Data Management Moving Beyond Basic Meter-to-Bill

  21. The Value of Accurate, Complete Meter Data

  22. The Value of Accurate, Complete Meter Data

  23. MDM Market Trends • Move away from low-functionality MDMs that are little more than VEE • Move toward high-scaling MDMs • Move toward MDM not only in electricity but also in gas and water • Consolidation. Most initially independent vendors have now been acquired • Move beyond meter-to-cash and toward summarized meter data to improve a wide variety of utility business functions • Move toward using MDM as part of prepayment system that does not require specialized prepayment meters

  24. MDM Market Trends Generation 1 MDM Systems Generation 2 MDM Business Requirements

  25. MDM 2.1 Planned Enhancements • Service Investigative Orders • Automated service order generation based on MDM activities: AMI events, VEE exceptions, missing readings and failed commands. • Enhanced Scalar Functionality • CCB scalar functionality: Meter reader remarks, trend data, UIs • AMI Transition Processes • View consumption when device types change • Modify the existing VEE rules to use historical consumption when the device type changes • More complex usage rules • Ratcheted demand • Peak time rebates • More

  26. Smart Grid Gateway Overview

  27. SGG Solution Overview In a Nutshell More than just web services • Processing of AMI vendor formatted Usage and Event data • Execute smart meter commands: • Ping • On demand read • Commissioning/decommissioning • Connect/disconnect • Adapter commands reusable from any enterprise application • Usage and command data auditing and performance analysis SGG integration foundation is reusable, extensible, upgradeable

  28. Currently Available Productized Adapters Making our Vision a Reality • Landis+Gyr • Itron MV-90 • Echelon • Sensus • Silver Spring Networks • ItronOpenWay is currently in development 20 MDM V2 and 7 MDM/SGG customers worldwide
