Application of AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) System in Electricity Meter

                 Application of AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) System in Electricity Meter

        The application of AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) system in electricity meters is mainly reflected in realizing bidirectional communication and data collection of smart grids. Electricity consumption data is collected through smart meters and transmitted to the management system, while receiving control instructions to optimize electricity management.
       Core functions
      1. Real time data collection: Smart meters collect current, voltage and other data every second, and upload them to the power grid management system through communication networks to support load forecasting and dynamic scheduling.  ‌
      2. Bidirectional communication: It can upload electricity consumption data and receive control instructions from power companies (such as adjusting electricity consumption periods and receiving electricity price updates), achieving demand side management.  ‌
     3. Anti electricity theft detection: Identify abnormal electricity usage behavior (such as electricity theft or equipment aging) through data analysis to help reduce line loss rates.  ‌
     4. User interaction: Users can view real-time electricity usage reports and optimize their electricity habits through mobile applications or home energy  management systems.  ‌
    Communications technology
     1, Wired communication: power line carrier (PLC), fiber optic
     2,Wireless communication: 4G/5G, LoRa, ZigBee, Wi SUN, etc., covering remote areas.  ‌
     Application Cases
   * Nigeria project (2017): Using AMI system to increase electricity recovery rate by 40% ,and reduce line loss rate to 14%; 

   *Indonesia project: Line loss rate reduced to 4.5%;
