A Very Smart Meter on Saving Energy:
Another way you can save money on electricity is not to use all your outlets.
If you use only half of them, you'll cut your bill in half. You can save the most by plugging everything into outlet strips and extension cords, all plugged into one outlet.
Preferably, that one outlet belongs to
your neighbor.

History of Electric Data Metering History of Electric Data Metering Kilowatt hours
◦ kWh with monthly readKilowatt hours and kilowatt peak demand
◦ kWh, peak kW with monthly readTime of use added with multi-function
electronic meters and monthly read Interval AMR metering
◦ kW, kWh, kVA, kVAR, PF, PQM, on-peak, off-peak, shoulder peaks
◦ 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 60 minute intervals
◦ Real time data for Real Time Pricing

Metering TechnologiesMetering TechnologiesElectromechanical- Induction Meter
◦ All electromechanical kilowatt-hour meters have a rotating disk in them. The disk's rotational speed is proportional to the amount of electricity consumed
◦ Accuracy is typically in the +/- 2% range◦ Registers are fixed and calibration is done
mechanically◦ Older measuring technology with a large
existing installed base◦ Becoming phased out in many utilities but
globally still the most common for single phase installations
◦ All but obsolete for new three phase installations

Solid State MeteringSolid State Metering
• Solid State Meters - now account for over approximately 80-90% of the polyphase meters produced in the U.S.A. Originally introduced for special, low volume application in the early 1980’s, solid state meters are now used for everything from non demand kWh to kVA demand meters.
• Electronics are important to metering:◦ Increased Meter Accuracy◦ Increased Meter Adaptability◦ Potentially Lower Initial Costs◦ Potentially Increased Reliability◦ Potentially Lower Operating Costs

Potential Issues for RPPotential Issues for RPRP issues will still reside with what
we are starting to see more of – the actual tampering of the electronic meter
Many new RP issues will come from the systems supporting the new definitions of the smart meter. How do we get the data from the Meter?

What do the ANSI Standards What do the ANSI Standards Actually Say in Simple TermsActually Say in Simple Terms
C12.18◦ How do I get in via the optical port?
C12.19◦ Once inside, where will I find things and
what do they mean?
C12.21◦ How do I get in via telephone?
C12.22 (in development)◦ How do I adjust my methods for
network communications?

Smart meter (electric) Smart meter (electric) deploymentdeploymentAs a baseline - in 2008 there were 1.698 billion
electric meters installed globally.
32 (18 of these in Europe) of 184 countries covered are proceeding with some level of smart meter deployment.
Italy – Enel SpA – the largest utility in Italy has completely deployed smart meters to over 27 million customers.
United Kingdom – Goal is to have all smart meters in homes by 2020.
Mtr - 21
Jamaica – Funding their entire J$6B ($65M US) investment to smart meters based upon stopping loss of electric revenue.
By 2015, 45% of all meters installed in the United States and Europe will be Smart Meters. The US has approx 147.4 million electric consumers.
Globally: As of July 2009, 83M smart meters have installed with a projection of 212M installed by 2014.

changingStay Connected and Informed
What we are doing today in RP will be drastically different than what we
will doing in the future, please keep an open mind to change !!!!!!!!

Even with OGE’s method for keeping customers out of the meter base……
…………Those end users that want to tamper/steal/or game with the system will still provide many opportunities for our industry……
