Abstract :
The architecture of an Advanced Metering Infrastructure with Device Level Load Monitoring (AMI-DLLM) is proposed in this paper. The AMI-DLLM architecture is an upgrade from currently available Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) that is enabled by large-scale smart meter rollouts under National Smart Metering Program (NSMP) across Australia. Potentials of such massive volume of demand side data generated from AMI have not yet been fully explored. The proposed new architecture aims to leverage such affluent demand data from smart meters and enhance both interactivity between utility companies and customers and demand side management. General structure and information flows extended from smart meters in the proposed framework are elaborated in this paper. Discussions of preliminary results and potential applications enhanced by the proposed architecture are also given in detail.
