Description © Landis+Gyr 8/83 General 1 General 1.1 Scope Landis+Gyr provides a complete and modern end-to-end solution for Advanced Metering Infrastructure projects. It has been designed to cater for the special needs of liberalised energy markets and extends over the whole value chain from the meter to the billing interface. It is also designed for large-scale residential metering systems and provides all user friendly tools you need for handling data for large numbers of customers. The Landis+Gyr AMI solution revolutionises the traditional value chain of the energy market and adds value to the utilities process for metering data collection, supplier change, tariffication, meter management and energy supply. With this solution Landis+Gyr is not only addressing utilities acting in the electricity market only, but also offers possibilities for integration of multi energy metering in the gas, heat and water market. 1.2 About this document This document describes the Landis+Gyr solution with key processes and all major components involved for Advanced Metering Infrastructure. New New functionalities are marked as new with the yellow sign. © Landis+Gyr AG D 000 027 080 a en – Landis+Gyr AMI Solution – System Description General 9/83 1.3 Terminology Some terms used in this document have different meanings in the different markets addressed by the system. The following list contains some of these terms. Term Similar Terms Meaning Profile Interval data The contents of measurement registers (Energy or Power) are periodically captured (typically at the full- hour or at half-hour or at the quarter-hour) and stacked in a “profile”. Each entry in this profile contains a time stamp, a status word and several register contents. Capture period Integration period, See above Tariff Rate, TOU (time of use) According to the contract (tariff contract) between the energy provider and the customer the energy is priced differently over different time intervals (e.g. day tariff, night tariff). For that purpose, the consumption is measured in different registers (tariff registers). The communication unit contains a tariff switching table (schedule) which activates the different tariff registers according to the tariff contract. Tariff switching TOU table, tariff schedule, See above table rate switching table Daily Billing Daily values, billing values Typically rated registers which are captured and stored Values daily at midnight in the daily values profile. Periodic Hourly values, interval data Typically un-rated register values captured and stored consumption periodically in the energy values profile. values Capture period Capturing period, Time interval for the periodic capturing of registers into Registration period, the profiles (see above) integration period, registration interval D 000 027 080 a en – Landis+Gyr AMI Solution – System Description © Landis+Gyr AG 10/83 General 1.4 List of abbreviations AMR Automatic Meter Reading AMM Advanced Meter Management CS Central Station/ Central System CS Current Loop interface DA Data Acquisition DC Data Concentrator DLMS Distribution Line Message Specification DP Data Processing DST Daylight savings time (summer time) EN Energy FW Firmware GPRS/ GSM Wireless technologies to transfer data/ voice information GPS Global Positioning System (satellite based) GUI Graphical User Interface IHU Inhome Display Unit MM MessageMax Module MV Medium Voltage (in EU typically 3x 20kV, 3x 12 kV, …) LV Low Voltage (in EU typically 3x230 V) L+G Landis + Gyr Ltd PDA Personal Digital Assistant, Pocket PC, Hand Held Computer HW Hardware PLC Power Line Carrier PLAN Powerline Local Area Network PQ Power Quality PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network SW Software TCP/ IP Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol; Network protocol © Landis+Gyr AG D 000 027 080 a en – Landis+Gyr AMI Solution – System Description
