Abstract :
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is the basic building block for development of Smart Grid in Distribution System. The main purpose of AMI is to enable two way communication between consumer and Smart Grid Control Center of Utility which involves remote monitoring & control of energy consumption as well as other parameters in real time. Meter data analytics play a vital role in AMI system which helps utility to manage their resources and business process efficiently. Indigenously developed meter data analytics such as meter data validation, energy audit & accounting of distribution transformer, missing information, peak demand identification, consumer profile analysis, load forecasting, abnormal energy pattern analysis etc. which helps utilities through improved visualization and enhanced situational awareness. These would also help in providing better QoS to consumers as well as empower them for better energy management. This paper presents several analytics developed on smart meter data as part of AMI implemented in Puducherry Smart Grid Pilot Project.
