Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)

Pioneer in Transforming Meter Systems

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)

AMI is not a single technology, but rather an integration of many technologies that provides an intelligent connection between consumers and power utilities. It makes two-way communications with customers possible and is the backbone of smart grids.

The objectives of AMI can be remote meter reading for error-free data network problem identification, load profiling, energy audit and partial load curtailment in place of load shedding.

Benefits of the AMI system include but are not limited to - improved network visibility and management of power outages - improved connection processes and customer service - easier process to track power usage for customers - reduction of system loss and cost

Benefits of AMI for Utilities:

  • Improved Metering Accuracy: AMI systems provide highly accurate real-time data, reducing billing errors and revenue losses due to inaccurate meter readings.
  • Remote Meter Reading: Utility companies can remotely read meters, eliminating the need for manual meter reading, which can be costly and time-consuming.
  • Faster Detection of Outages: AMI systems can detect power outages more quickly, enabling utilities to respond faster to restore power and reduce downtime for customers.
  • Load Management: Utilities can monitor and manage electricity loads in real-time, optimizing the distribution network and reducing peak demand.
  • Reduced Operational Costs: With remote meter reading and diagnostics, utilities can reduce operational and maintenance costs.
  • Enhanced Customer Service: AMI systems enable better customer service by providing customers with access to their own energy usage data, helping them make informed decisions about their consumption.
  • Time And Energy Savings: Gone are the days of meter readers traveling door to door to collect data. AMI allows for remote reading, ensuring that meter data is collected and transmitted automatically, saving time and manpower. This reduces the operational costs and minimizes the environmental impact of meter reading activities.

Benefits of AMI for Electricity Consumers:

  • Billing Accuracy: Consumers benefit from more accurate billing, reducing disputes and overcharges.
  • Reducing Physical Hardship, Saving Time and Cost: Inclusion of Mobile Apps and Web Portal will greatly reduce the hardship along with time and cost to go to the Bank or booth for paying the bill and make life easier.
  • Real Time Usage Data: AMI systems provide Consumers with access to real-time energy usage data, helping them understand their consumption patterns and make informed decisions to save energy and money.
  • Time-of-Use Pricing: AMI can enable time-of-use pricing, allowing Consumers to lower their bills by using electricity during off-peak hours.
  • Faster Issue Resolution: In case of billing discrepancies or service issues, AMI systems can facilitate quicker resolution by providing detailed usage data.
  • Energy Conservation: Consumers can integrate AMI data with smart home devices for greater control over their energy usage.
  • Integration with Smart Home Devices: Consumers can integrate AMI data with smart home devices for greater control over their energy usage.
  • Environmental Benefits: Reduced energy consumption can lead to a lower carbon footprint, contributing to environmental sustainability.
