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
