VolumesDrivers for Smart Metering

• Deregulation

• Fraude evasion

• Non-estimated billing

• Kyoto

• Demand response

• Flexible Rules

Is this possible using register readings?

VolumesResidential Volumes

Example:

country with 16 000 000 inhabitants (eg.NL)

40 000 C&I Meters (daily reading)

BUT 160 000 Residential Concentrators

Conclusion:

Residential Volume = 4 x C&I volume

Datacollectionsystems must be able to handle HUGE volumes

Concentrators added value multi-vendor system (Central versus Distributed Protocols?)

• Local protocolconversion

• Compact

• Encryption

• Authentication

• Push

Reduce the size of the data

Reduce the Communication Cost

Smart Meterssmart meters with residential customers

• 2 way communication:

– Demand Response

– (re)Connecting and Disconnecting Customers, ..

• Gas and water via E-meter:

– M-bus

– RF

• Gas and water via datalogger:

– SMS/GPRS (via telecom companies)

– PLC (own network)

– Wireless (868, 2400 MHz)

– IP (ADSL, Cable, WiFi, WiMAX)

Smart Meterspush vs. pull

• Technology

• Gas + water = Low Power PUSH

• Rates SMS/GPRS versus GSM-DATA

• Volumes make it impossible to pull

Push to concentrators, pull from concentrators

Remark:

– Security

– Permanent connections for peak pricing and demand-response
