AMI Functional Requirement Sample Clauses
AMI Functional Requirement. The main objective of AMI is to establish / enable two-way communication between smart energy meter and Head End System (HES) to enable remote reading, monitoring & control of electrical energy meters (consumer, feeder, DT meters etc.) to serve as repository of all accumulated raw and validated data. The sanitized data may be subscribed by other utility function for higher order analysis and billing and collection engine etc. The AMI system shall help utility to manage their resource and business process efficiently. AMI system shall support the following minimum functionalities:
a) Remote Meter data reading (Scheduled / Instantaneous) at configurable intervals (push/pull)
b) Time of Use (TOU) metering;
c) Pre-paid functionality (by default) with provision of post-paid functionality without need for any additional infrastructure;
d) Net Metering;
e) Alarm/Event detection, notification and reporting;
f) Load Limiter and connection/ disconnection at defined/on demand conditions which can be configured remotely in advance;

AMI Functional Requirement. The main objective of AMI is to enable two-way communication between smart energy meter and Head End System (HES) to enable remote reading, monitoring & control of electrical energy meters (consumer, feeder, DT meters etc.) to serve as repository of record for all raw, validated and edited data. The sanitized data may be subscribed by other OPTCL function for higher order analysis and billing and collection engine etc. The AMI system shall help OPTCL to manage their resource and business process efficiently. AMI system shall support the following minimum functionalities:
(i) Remote Meter data reading at configurable intervals(push/pull)
(ii) Time of day (▇▇▇)/TOU metering
(iii) Pre-paid functionality
(iv) Net Metering/Billing
(v) Alarm/Event detection, notification and reporting
(vi) Remote Load Limiter and connection/ disconnection at defined/on demand conditions
(vii) Remote firmware upgrade
(viii) Integration with other existing legacy systems as defined in this document
(ix) Import of legacy data from existing modules/ MDAS where ever possible. The extent and modalities of integration with the existing legacy system has to be worked out by the bidder.
(x) Security features to prevent unauthorized access to the AMI including Smart meter & meter data etc. and to ensure authentication of all AMI elements by third party.
(xi) Facility for the utility to communicate price signals to AMI meters. The System should accurately maintain system time synchronization across all devices to ensure accuracy of data. <The system should support the interfacing with the future Smart Grid functionalities like peak load management, distribution automation including self-healing system, , distributed energy resources etc.>The communication network shall preferably be able to support multiple applications. The Bidder shall submit an approach paper describing overall architecture and operational philosophy of the proposed AMI solution and methodology for achieving different functionalities, specified in this document and also highlight additional features, if any.
