Advanced Metering Infrastructure – The fundamental layer for Smart Grids
Electronic Meters are virtual monitors of the electrical system, apart from recording
energy consumption for billing.
Meter Reading methods
• Manual visual reading
• Manual reading through Handheld units
• Remote Meter Reading
• Automated Meter Reading
Smart Meters can detect pre-configured alert conditions and notify these to a remote
master.
Smart Meters can control supply of power based on pre-configured logic or due to a
command from a Remote Master.
Smart meters can provide meaningful energy consumption data to a consumer in
their home on an In-Home-Display device.
Advanced Metering Infrastructure is a system by which utility can remotely acquire meter
data automatically and on demand, be notified of events, and can control supply of power
to individual consumption points.

Typical AMI Architecture
HES
Head-end System acquires
meter reading data at
predefined regular intervals.
On demand meter reading.
Communication over
GPRS
Critical Events occurring at
meter end notified to Head-end
system immediately on
occurrence.
Meter can be configured
remotely
Remote meter connect
/disconnect can be done from
HES through DCU for Load
Control with configurable preprogrammed reconnect
attempts and lockout intervals.

AMI is characterised by
Large Volume of unattended, geographically spread
remote machines that have to
communicate continuously in near Realtime with
Head -End machine
Communication Infrastructure is the backbone of such systems
