UTILITY BENEFITS
Utility benefits fall into two major categories, billing and operations.
Billing
- AMI helps the utility avoid estimated readings, provide accurate and timely bills, operate more
efficiently and reliably, and offer significantly better consumer service.
- AMI eliminates overhead expenses of manual meter reading.
- Consumer concerns about meter readers on their premises are eliminated.
Power Generation
Power System Layer Power Distribution Customer
and Transmission
1. SGs are considered as one of the largest potential IoT network implementations with smart
meters and wireless smart sensors placed throughout the grid, and smart appliances
communicating with each other to ensure reliable and efficient power generation and
distribution.
2. The advanced metering infrastructure consists of physical and virtual components, including
sensors, monitoring systems, smart meters, software, data management systems, and
communication networks.
3. The smart metering devices installed on the customer premises use different technologies for
communicating. These vary depending on what manufacturer smart meter the utilities
company are installing, and the application
