Harnessing the power of pLTE and AWS Cloud to optimize AMI 2.0 outcomes
AMI 2.0 has gained traction since the early 2020s, promising real-time insights, enhanced grid management, and demand response. By 2029, U.S. smart meter installations will reach 182.9 million, covering 94% of customers. However, AMI 2.0 isn’t just about meters, it demands high-bandwidth communication and scalable storage. A single meter now generates 1,440 data points daily, […]
Boost home heating efficiency: Connecting millions of smart radiator thermostats via AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN
The EU’s Green Deal sets clear targets for CO2 reduction: the EU aims to become climate neutral by 2050. In 2019, the EU emitted 4,065,462,000 tonnes* of greenhouse gases. The building sector accounts for a significant share of around one-third of all primary energy consumption, 80% of which is attributable to heating water. The efficient, […]
Using serverless architecture for efficient SMETS 2 data ingestion and processing
In the dynamic landscape of energy consumption, the ability to monitor and manage energy usage has become a critical need for consumers. At the heart of this evolution are Smart Metering Equipment Technical Specifications (SMETS) 2 meters. These sophisticated meters represent the second and more advanced generation of smart meters in the United Kingdom. Unlike […]
Smart Metering for Water Utilities
– Using LoRaWAN to build up a smart water metering infrastructure – For water utilities around the world, aging infrastructure and technology have become an increasing problem. To actively manage the water system, getting information like consumption, pressure, and flow data in real time is essential. Of all the different components in the water system, […]
AWS releases smart meter data analytics
Introduction Utilities have deployed MDMS (Meter Data Management Systems) since the late 90’s and MDMS deployments have accelerated alongside the deployment of smart metering and advance metering infrastructure (AMI) at utilities worldwide. MDMS collect energy consumption data from smart meter devices and send it to utility customer information systems (CIS) for billing and further processing. […]
