Global Market Dimension
Total Installation – 1.6 billion Meters worldwide
(Domestics & Industrial)
70% of Meters Installed are Electro mechanical &
21% are solid state 9% Grid & Feeder meter
Six Countries account for 59% of the world Meters
demand.
China, INDIA, Brazil, USA & Canada, Japan & Russia.
Most important markets are China (16 million units),
India (11 million) and Europe (8 million) per year.
The European market demands medium- to high-end
meters that include automated meter reading, LCD
displays, and multi-tariff billing, while the developing
like Asian regions mainly demand low-end meters
that only perform energy calculation.

“Smart & Intelligent” Meter
Energy meters are to old-fashioned
what mobile phones are to oldfashioned phones
Energy meters should be smart meters
and can be networked on future-proof
platform
Meters should not be just digital ver.
of electro-mechanical meters with
bolted-on communications
Meters provide additional services and
data
Meters are an integral part of smart
systems
Meters are designed to grow
Strategic Themes of Metering
Automation
Plain Vanilla
Main Street
Brave New World
– One Way Drive-By
Communication
– Stand Alone System
– Inexpensive but
dead-end for the future
– Advanced 2-Way,
PLC & Wireless
– Separate but connected
– Can be ramped and
expanded over time
– BPL, Advanced 2-Way
– Seamless Integration
Across Systems
– Expensive but with
most options
“Self-Healing” Technologies Will Change The Way

Improving Customer services
integrating with communication
• Customer-driven operations model requires more efficient and wider use
of technology and telecommunications in customer service
• Extending automation in customer interface creates new opportunities in
electricity networks use and management
• Mobile workforce management and implementation of automatic
metering system are significant development for the customers

What A Future-Proof System
Brings
• Low cost metering services
– On-demand and scheduled remote meter reads
– Remotely manageable tariff tables and billing cycles
– Multi-parameter load profiling
• Distribution system optimization
– Outage detection and isolation, restoration
verification
– Per meter power quality information
– Load balancing
– Tamper and theft detection
• Advanced control
– Remote disconnect and reconnect
– Maximum power limiting
– Optional direct load control
• New energy or value-added service with minimal
incremental investment
Way Forward – Smart Meters

Open systems – A meter and communications platform that uses
an open system reference model. He needed any new technology to
‘look & feel’ and interoperate with his existing SCADA and OMS.
Future proofing – Seamlessly add new, interoperable technologies.
His communications platform had to provide the necessary
bandwidth to handle new data feeds from new applications.
Under glass – A meter that included its antennae inside the meter.
This was important because of a ‘hot swap’ with one device when a
meter needed replacement.
One antenna –Communicate to housing appliances and to the
substation with the same technology to lower the amount of internal
hardware.
Control risk – Avoid the "bleeding edge" with a communications
platform that is reliable and can be installed incrementally with offthe-shelf equipment
Philosophy
Smart meters provide both customers and their
providers a convenient single point of access to realtime usage, price and alert information via on-premise
displays or on the World Wide Web using standardsbased APIs.
Customers can select their own Demand Response
program or rate schedule and receive automated
current, hour-ahead or day-ahead pricing signals.
Specific Demand Response requests can also be sent
to customers automatically, including curtailment
requests, critical peak pricing events and load control
in near real-time, significantly reducing operational
costs and complexity.

Demand-Side Management.
Transmission is like the Internet of the
electric system.
Need to give customers the POWER to
make proactive,
Value-based decisions that have a
real, bottom-line impact on their
business
The world’s population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050; electricity’s global
impact must be even greater in the 21st century to meet the world’s growing
energy needs
