  1. WIRELESS AMMKey for tomorrow metering application Electricity India 2006 New Delhi11th May 2006 Didier Dutronc Wavecom President Asia Pacific Managing Director

  2. what is AMR ? AMR: Automatics Meter Reading • No Intelligence, no Upgradability • Only Upload the Energy Consumption of the meter Passive Meter + Dummy Modem

  3. Back End CellularOperator DOTARDM ReportsAlerts Customer Back End Mobile/Technicians what is AMM ? AMM : Automatics Meter Management • Smart Meter with an intelligent Wireless connectivity • Able to manage / monitor the meter on the field and add new services Smart Meter + Intelligent Wireless Connectivity (Wireless CPU & Open AT® )

  4. Global trend for AMR & AMM Favouring trends Culmination of multiple factors • Ageing infrastructure (grid, meters) to be upgraded • New environnement (Production, transport, distribution) with increased competition • Real consumption billing requirements • ½ hourly reading and profiling • Fraud, reduce T&D Losses and improve distribution efficiency • Environnemental constraints (energy saving) • Generalisation of electronic meters • Affordable & mature communication technologies (RF, PLC, Cellular) • Existing standards (DLMS, M Bus, IP connectivity) & interropability

  5. AMR/AMM & SCADA in INDIA • Major fund provided by GOI APDRP (Accelerated Power Development and Reform Program) – World Bank, ADB, to reduce T&D Losses and improve distribution efficiency • AMR/AMM is a recommended solution by APDRP to reduce electricity losses in region. • The first AMR/AMM project in INDIA were started by NDPL & BSES which have more than 10 000 meter remotely controlled, • More than 20 SEB and distribution companies are coming with AMR/AMM projects.

  6. Open questions Meter manufacturers Utilities • What to do ? When ? (which technology, cost of product) • Are facing 2 revolutions : • mechanical to electronic meters • Communication, IP • Which real cost ? ROI ? • How to do it ? (Data capture & management, technology) • How to protect investment • How to stay independant (from meter manufacturers and service providers)

  7. Total CostReturn On Investment Saving / Return Cost / Investment • AMR/AMM Management System • Communication device & operation cost • Installation • Maintenance • Minimize Looses (efficiency & theft) • Billing Improvement (Prepayement, variable fares) • Customer Profiling & New Services Global Trend • Total Cost of Ownership must be considered. Installation and Maintenance fee are not neglictable • ROI to be targeted between 2 to 4 years • Success stories in Europe, USA, Australia. Projects on-going in China, India, Thailand.

  8. Total Cost of Ownership Cost Structure depending on Technology • Total cost of ownership depends on 3 factors • Type of technology used • Density • How much you want to interact with meter (Meter management) • Cellular technologies (GSM/GPRS, CDMA) is usually the winner • Win on field maintenance (Carrier QOS) • Win on Installation and Project Management against RF and PLC. • Easy and cost effective integration of data (TCP/IP) • Real AMM (open to new services, IP device, HTTP)

  9. Total Cost of Ownership What are the main cost driver? • Ask yourself the following simple questions before selecting a Wireless AMR/AMM solution vendor: • How long will my application be operating in the field? (1 year, 5 years, 15 years) • What is the probability that my own application software will never need to be upgraded? • How much does it cost me to upgrade an application? • Deinstallation – Shipping – Upgrade – Shipping – Reinstallation • $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000? • What is the best way to protect my business against the risk that my application may suddenly stop working, for whatever reason?

  10. Total Cost of Ownership How to Protect the investment? • Software. Protect your investment with a flexible & standard (not meter dependent) software solution. • Maintenance. Wavecom has developed unique solutions - DOTA: Download Over the Air - to remotely upgrade your applications and the Wavecom Operating System (Open AT®).

  11. Where we are in the AMR value chain • A true technology provider • Cellular wireless expertise for industrial applications (GSM/GPRS, EDGE, CDMA, 3G) – Wireless CPU / Software / Services INFORMATION CAPTURE INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION INTEGRATION Wireless CPU System Integrator Meter Maker Meter & Service Supplier GPRS Service Provider Electricity Utility Company Elec. End User

  14. No external microprocessor or ASIC! display memory measurement external keypad External CPU not needed wireless A New Way of thinking Lower costs meters • What’s needed to make a Wireless Electricity Meter? TRADITIONAL “Wireless Modem” REVOLUTIONARY Wireless Microprocessor • Microprocessor • Memory • Display • Meter ASICs • Keypad • External reader • + • Unintelligent Wireless Modem

  15. 5 key values for a successful AMM • Cellular connectivityfor seamless Installation and Operations. • Software: Open AT® isanopen and standard(not meter dependent) software platform to develop advanced Automatics Management Metering applications • Industrial grade Wireless CPU at the heart of a the wireless meter for a ruggedized - extended temperature - and cost effective application. • Investment Protectionfor easy upgrade and maintenance through DOTA - Download Over The Air. • IPR coverage. Protection against claims from holders of essential GSM intellectual property rights (IPR).
