Smart Metering

(AMI) Services

10Smart Metering System




Smart metering System or Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is an integrated system of smart meters, communications networks and Meter Data Management Systems (MDMS) that enables two-way communication between utilities back end system with the smart meters



10Proposed Smart Metering Architecture




The SAP Meter Data

Management (EnergyIP) by

Siemens application automates

smart meter data management

business processes. Its

comprehensive set of tools

enables utilities to address

traditional utility use cases, such

as meter-to-cash billing data, as

well as emerging use cases that

leverage register, interval, and

time-of-use IoT device data to

support a variety of mission-

critical enterprise applications.

SAP MDM (EnergyIP) by Siemens

16Architecture of MDMS




‘MDM (Meter Data Management) application automates smart meter data management business processes. Its comprehensive set

of tools enables utilities to address traditional utility use cases, such as meter-to-cash billing data, as well as emerging use cases that

leverage register, interval, and time-of-use IoT device data to support a variety of mission-critical enterprise applications.

MDM application acquires meter data (Load profile, Consumption data, Demand data, Meter status, Events, Tampers information,

billing data, existing meter configuration data etc.,) from different head-end systems as well as simultaneously from DCUs in both

transparent and non-transparent mode. MDMS acquires meter data for further processing from different head-end systems using

standard web-services/ ETL process/ FTS processes.



17Features of MDMS




Supported Applications

• Outage Event Manager for OMS integration• Interval Billing• Register Billing• C & I Billing• Device Control Transactions such as Remote

Connect / Disconnect, On-demand reads, meter ping etc

• Energy Engage : Web Consumer Portal• Energy Engage on Mobile• Analytics• Revenue Protection• Equipment Load Management• Demand Response Management System (DRMS)• DEMS (Decentralized Energy Management System)• Pre-payment support• Device Lifecycle (ADM)• Settlements• Grid Data Vault• eCar

Case Study – AMI

(Duvha – EMDAS)

20Case Study: Duvha – EMDAS


THE CHALLENGE

The energy produced should be accurately and reliably measured and reported on and all metering data should be auditable and comply with regulatory requirements. Eskom employs metering, measurement and an EMDAS (Energy Metering and Data Acquisition System) at the generation plants to fulfill this requirement.Each power station has its own individual needs as there may be legacy equipment and systems already in place. It may not be in the plant’s best interest to replace all legacy devices and several aspects should be reviewed for the change-over process and requirements between systems.

THE COMPANY

Eskom is a state owned enterprise in South Africa and is involved in the electricity supply industry from generation, transmission through to distribution and sales. Eskom’s DuvhaPower Station is situated in Witbank, Mpumalanga, and is one of the 11 Base Load Stations with an installed capacity of 3,600 MW with an average production of 22,798 GWh over the last three years.

THE SOLUTION

iST (Integrators of Systems Technology) offered Duvha Power Station an EMDAS covering both historical data reporting and real-time visualization of power generated or consumed in the plant. This solution had been designed around the metering best practices accumulated in iST’s experience in metering of over 30 years in this specialized field.Our device agnostic approach and integration skillsets enable us to directly interface to a variety of metering devices or other 3rd party systems, depending on the best-fit solution for the client.



21Case Study: Duvha – EMDAS


The solution deployed addressed the requirements for an EMDAS system applying the latest available technology and future proofing the EMDAS system at Duvha.

The picture below shows the real-time monitoring for each unit and Station Boards, including single line diagrams with power, voltage, currents and power factors from each metering point.

The picture below shows the real-time reading accuracy comparisons. The analogue transducers are utilised for control and should be verified to timeously identify any possible corrective actions required.

How DR Pro Works




10Case Study – Demand Response




Eskom is short of generation capacity, particularly over peak periods. While possible to meet reserve margin needs with costly gas turbine generation plant, another more preferable initiative based on voluntary customer load curtailment (NegaWatt generation) was needed.

We developed and implemented a Demand Response Solution (DRS) for Eskom in 2007 as a mechanism to incentivise customers and enable them to reduce load over critical periods.

• Apart from being the cleanest energy source available, the VPS can be deployed faster (under 10 seconds)

• Significant cost saving over gas turbine generation plant

• Substantial growth in the number of MW under VPS control is anticipated over the next few years



26


Virtual Power

Plant (VPP)



Problem Statement & Solutions •• Short term capacity shortages {15 minute to 4 hours).

• Peak demand periods, unplanned loss of generation, renewable source variability.

• Gas turbines are extremely costly to run.

• A mechanism is required to incentivize customers and enable them to reduce load over critical periods.

• Develop Distributed Generation thru formation of microgrid to stabilize the grid & maintain non interruptible

power supply

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP)

• The DRPro Demand Response & VSU AMI platform to form a VPP Platform enables Customers & Suppliers to

participate in 'cash for MWs' program, or to just avoid load shedding.

• Interfaces with Utility National Control Centre.

• Large customers are 'dispatched’, their performance monitored and settlements finalized via the VPP platform

as an outsourced service.

• 1500 MW under control in South Africa.

• Major contributor to limiting 'load shedding'.

• Geographically differentiated dispatch.

• Significant cost savings compared with gas turbine operation.

• Rapid response (under 10 sec) in emergency.

27Business Architecture of VPP


• A Virtual Power Plant is a network of decentralized, Small

/medium-scale power resourcing units such as Wind farms ,

Solar parks , Micro-Hydel, Batteries as well as flexible power

consumers of main electricity grid .

• The interconnected units are dispatched through the IT based

central control room of the Virtual Power Plant but nonetheless

remain independent in their operation and ownership.

• The objective of a Virtual Power Plant is to relieve the load on

the grid by smartly distributing the power generated by the

individual units during periods of peak load or/and as per the

load dispatch schedule of Utility.

• IT based VPP control room is supported by following to

maintain the system day to day to meet the demand of utility:

• AMI (IOT) based infrastructure to acquire the meter

data of each power generator as well as monitor the

same

• Demand Response to monitor the consumption of

Existing potential customers who are greed to reduce the

load as per demand of the utility.
