Koustuv GhoshalPanel discussion

� What does Smart Metering really need to do?

� Where are we?

� New approaches

� Customer care

� Improved distribution technology

� Evolution

� Vision

� Putting it all together in manageable bites

� Smart Metering as an enabler to Smart Grid

Kevin SmithFocus of my discussion

� Some Factors Influencing LDC’s

� AMI Realities and Challenges

� AMI model in Ontario

� Operations and Asset Management context around Smart Metering Technology

Factors affecting LDCs Today

� Time constraint

� Distractions with mergers & acquisitions

� One metering solution doesn’t fit all

� Existing IT infrastructure challenged

� Ability to manage large field initiatives

� Aging workforce & aging equipment

� Rising expectations to deliver moreto customers

Page 5: A day in the life of a smart meter –Enabling the future ... Final S… · Meter 2 bill-Glimpse of available solutions-today ... Generation DG and Renewable Energy Resource RES with

� Pilot implementations – many successful but experiences suggest caution

� Geography / Technology constraints, multiple metering vendors / communication infrastructure – multiple AMCCs

� All metering data to IESO daily & accurate� Difficult to implement cost effectively TOU

billing, meter management, business process innovation, load management, etc.

� Customer care capability to support increased call center demands

� How to Reduce Risk

Current realities and challenges

How do we

resolve

this?

� Future challenges

� Meter 2 bill- Glimpse of available solutions-today

� Liberalization in the Utilities market

Page 14: A day in the life of a smart meter –Enabling the future ... Final S… · Meter 2 bill-Glimpse of available solutions-today ... Generation DG and Renewable Energy Resource RES with

Future Challenge -Customer Care / Billing

• Existing system landscape typically needs to be sca led up

•How to handle the large volume of data.

•From multiple systems and yet not negate your existing IT infrastructure.

•Process changes / Mindset change

•Monthly reads to daily / interval reads

•Change management- calls for change in mindset of process owners and workers.

•Managing of new system design

•TOU, Potential for Real time pricing, Inter-company interactions,

•Integration of complex processes like new connection or move-out reads

•Leveraging improved data and processes

•Getting closer to customer (CRM system)

•Getting better information (Generating real time reports from all systems)

tie it all together (LMDM/R) � IESO Interaction - standardized� Difficult to implement Time of Use Billing,

meter management, business processes - have enabled processes

� Able to handle increased customer care loads,

new billing models in place

New approaches to generate scale

Utilities should

leverage

experienced

solutions

focusing on

better

operations

�Focus on mandate – efficient, cost-effective delivery of electricity and services to customers

�Focus on skill sets – engineering, operations –maintenance, new build (project oversight), local customer knowledge and requirements

�Leverage common infrastructure for meter data management, IESO interaction, meter business processes, customer care operations, application managed services, sharing metrology with neighbouringLDCs

�Leverage infrastructure investment – water,gas, HAN�Smart Grid is becoming a reality – Smart Metering is

one very important component – ensure leverage into the future
