AMI

Advanced Metering Infrastructure

AMI is a two-way communication system to collect detailed metering information throughout a utility’s service industry

Growing Market over the world

The global market for smart meters isn’t just growing, it’s getting more complicated and while utilities don’t always keep up-to-date with the investments to manage this technology complexity, they can’t put them off forever

Breaking Down the $10B Market for Smart Meters and Analytics Through 2021

– Utilities’ data analytics needs cover the range of IT architectures available. The problem for utilities in reaching this vision lies in their recent past, the report notes. Many have built themselves into a mix of standalone, point-to-point integrations: “System-wide solutions that support near-real-time aggregation and analysis of the volume and granularity of data provided by smart meters have yet to be successfully implemented in the utility industry. This has led most utilities to rely on existing database structures, delaying development of high-performance use cases.” That’s why GTM Research predicts continued demand for “turnkey solutions that can be rapidly integrated with existing back-end IT systems with limited customization,” along with analytics to improve the performance of already-deployed AMI networks, the report notes -utilities want to make better use of what they already have.

Electricity Loss Ratio in Latin America and Caribbean

Roughly 17 percent of total electricity produced in LAC is lost in transmission and distribution (average for the 2007-2011 period), a ratio well above low-income countries (14 to 15 percent), middle-income countries (13 percent), and highincome countries (6 to 9 percent). That is, in relative terms, as a region LAC has one of the highest ratios of electricity losses in the world

Classification of Losses

Two important considerations can be drawn here with regard to losses. First, since the primary component in variable losses is power current, the amount of these losses depends on how much current flow through the system—that is, technical losses tend to go up as load increases, are thus seasonal and can be tempered through demand management.Second, distance from the source as well as the demographic characteristics of the end market partially determine the degree of loss and the cost of delivery, i.e., it is expected that hard-to-reach rural areas with low population density will exhibit more technical losses than urban areas.

The second type of losses is nontechnical, which refers to electricity effectively delivered by a supplier but not paid for by the users, resulting in direct financial losses for the utility. This type of loss is caused by actions external to the power system but internal to overall management of the utility.
