Smart Grid Transformation
AMI for Bulk Supplies in the CEB
There are about 11500 bulk supplies in the CEB and at present remote reading is
possible for all the bulk supply energy meters.
However these installations are not equipped with smart meters and other
functionalities of a smart metering system.
There are many different types of meters installed and different software has to be
used to remote read the meters. After reading the meters, meter readings have to
be manually entered into the bulk supply billing system for the preparation of bills.
The present system has facility only to remote read the meter.
There are many added befits to CEB as well as customers when a fully pledged
smart bulk metering system is installed for the CEB including a smart bulk meter,
communication network and meter data management system.
CEB should finance the above program and GPRD/3G/4G/Fiber technology could
be used to communicate between the smart meter and the Meter Data
Management System.View entire presentation
