COMMON INFORMATION MODEL

Standards in Meter Component


Few Standards

ANSI Protocols Developed by the ANSI C12 Electricity Metering Standards Committee Device Language Message Specification (DLMS) Developed and maintained by the DLMS User Association
Interoperability of meters
Meter purchasers can explore the functionality of the meters

Benefits

they buy.

Standards in Headend component


Few Standards

MultiSpeak Collaboration of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) Common Information Model (CIM) Officially adopted by the IEC Benefits Easy integration of sub systems Vendor neutral non-proprietary interface

Standards in Home Area Network


Few Standards

ZigBee Maintained by the ZigBee Alliance OPEN HAN Task force of Open AMI user community which addresses standards for the Home Area Network

Benefits of Standardization

Utilities Interoperability Flexibility to build new partnership with competitive vendors Plug n play components Reduced cost and time for implementation of system Vendors Easy integration of products with other vendors products Reduces risk of market acceptance Consumers Choices for competitive energy appliances Offers ability to choose services

Barriers in Implementing Standards

Setting of standards Considerable time Backward compatibility issue Legacy systems Huge investments Fear of cost recovery with new systems Technology Gets bounded by guidelines and frameworks Proprietary technologies Loses market hold/monopoly if any

How to overcome barriers


Interfaces for proprietary technology Pilot projects based on standards Consider Legacy solutions while defining frameworks Scalable design of the components R&D to find alternate solutions for technical constraints

Smart Metering Headend System

Interoperability of meters with support ANSI standard


Multi-speak compliance Plug-n-play support for network channels (PLC/RF Mesh/GPRS) ZigBee support

CONCLUSION

Smart metering is necessary for managing energy better

Standardization is key for successful smart metering


Interfaces for existing systems can provide compatibility with standards based components

Thank You Manage Energy Better
