Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) has long been a cornerstone of grid modernization, providing utilities with real-time data to enhance grid visibility, improve operational efficiency, and engage customers more effectively. With AMI 2.0, utilities are unlocking even greater potential through expanded capabilities such as two-way communication, enhanced data analytics, and integration with other grid technologies. This topic explores how AMI 2.0 is transforming utility operations, supporting demand response, enabling dynamic pricing models, and enhancing customer service with granular, real-time insights. Sessions will delve into the evolution of AMI, best practices for deployment, security considerations, and how utilities are leveraging AMI 2.0 to drive more intelligent, data-driven decisions.
Core Concepts Discussed
- Two-way communication between meters and utilities
- Interval data collection
- Real-time energy usage insights
- Remote connect/disconnect capabilities
- Outage detection and restoration verification
