Echelon Enables Powerful and Efficient Grid Analytics with New Smart Meter Software that Helps Utilities

Avoid Service Outages

Industry First - Smart meters (Echelon/OSGP) can now be upgraded in the field to function as multi-parameter grid sensors, in addition to serving as billing devices.

Reduces Data Deluge - Separating billing data from grid power quality data enables utilities to minimize the volume of data collected and processed, while increasing its usefulness – ultimately improving service reliability at lower cost.

Evolution of Smart Grid

More flexible and dynamic interaction with customers Meter as grid sensor Transformer monitoring DMS integration

Billing focused Basic rate structures Little consumer participation Basic PQ values collected

Proactive fault identification Micro-grid level balancing Automation of LV controls Customer is active buyer and

seller of energy

Today Future Tomorrow

Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI)

AMI + Low Voltage Distribution Automation

The Optimized Grid

The Smart Grid Data Deluge

With smart meters, utilities have to process data at 15-minute intervals, which is about a 3,000-fold increase in daily data processing for a utility. And this is just the first wave of the data deluge.

The second wave will include granular data from smart appliances, electric vehicles and other metering points throughout the grid. This will greatly increase the amount of data being generated.

New Modular Meter for Emerging Markets

Grid Sensor Software on Meter Reduces data deluge, improves data relevance

Before with 1x16 channels of data: Utility either had all the data or none at all Introduces a data deluge problem (take more data than they wanted) Reduced flexibility Couldn’t change configurations (can’t change billing parameters mid cycle) Cost

Now with 4x16 channels of data, utilities can: Collect at different intervals, times; can schedule automatic or on-demand

delivery Collect billing and power quality data segmented into separate data sets

(supports local billing regulations) ECN-ready for distributed intelligence; working with ECN utilities can have a

distributed model pulling data to the ECN and/or deciding to bring it back to the head-end

Reduces data deluge, offers more flexibility and reduces costs

Transformer Protection Software on Meter Extends transformer life

Per phase measurement power, current, and max power Protects transformer/fuse Utilities know before they reach transformer peak load limits

• Provides load balancing (grid sensing) Allows utility to configure loads across phases.

• Extends life of distribution assets

Current Measurement

Software Enhancements at Head End Valuable for Distribution Management Systems (DMS)

Geographic Mapping Automatically maps grid devices to transformers – 100% accurate Provides communications status
