IEC AMI - Project Background

• Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) decided to implement Smart Metering• Why smart metering?

Billing & Collection Customer service Improvement Demand Respond – peak shaving and production planning

• Deployment in few stages First stage : 8.5K Industrial customers

(the largest AMI project in Israel) Next stages: extend to 30K – 50K C&I

ROI for AMI Project

•8,500 meters - 53% of total revenues

•Large customers billing - ~250K $US per month

•Project cost per year - 500 K $US

• 2 faulty meter reading per month = AMI project cost per year

• Customer service Improvement• Demand Respond – peak shaving and production planning

• Objectives: Meter reading & management by either Web2MTM system users

or third party servers Monitoring and control of the communication infrastructure

• Main Larotec’s system components: Interface & Communication Units (ICU) interfaced to the meters Communication Server – management of meter reading, communication

and asset management

• The Web2MTM is integrated with additional system components: Metering server: Reads the meters via the ICU Radius Server: Responsible for the network IP assignment GIS Server: displaying end device (ICU + meter) location and

status on maps

Web2MTM – Consumption Reports

Web2MTM – Readings of Current value (1st phase)

Web2MTM – Readings of Power Factor value

Multiple operating modes

• Transparent mode: “Transparent Bridge” between 3rd party Metering Server and the system

• Listening mode: ICU waits for requests from the metering or communication

servers while still performing its regular procedures

• Command mode: FOTA (firmware over the air)Data on DemandConfiguration update

Additional features for IEC project

• Communication Management Monitoring:

Cell ID: tracking the active cell serving the ICU Rx level: tracking level of GPRS Radio Frequency signal reception

Commands: Get Data Now: enabling data acquisition at any required time Activation: remotely enable/disable meter reading services Communication parameters: Configure parameters on the fly

from remote location Remote s/w update

• Templates: pre-defined profile assigned to any hierarchical group via the communication server

Project Status - 2012

• 6,850 installations

• Deployment – Nation Wide since 2010

• Meter Reading success – 99.7%

• Data Collection Interval – 2 times per day

• Meter Reading Interval – 15 min
