Vision of the Future Benefits

• More accurate, timely bills
• Complaint reduction
• More information available for resolving high
  bill issues
• No meter reader on site
• Improved public relations
• Faster outage detection and restoration
  including nested outages
• Inform customers of outages to
• Reduce energy costs through demand response
  programs
• Reduce demand charges
• Access detailed consumption and quality data
• See immediate results for turn-on/turn-off
• Customer pays for actual energy used
  move-in/move-out
• Customer driven due dates and summary billing
  enables SAP functionality

Vision of the Future More Benefits

• Reduces safety incidents due to fewer field trips
• Enables environmental improvement
• Decreased greenhouse gas emissions
• Improved energy efficiency
• Reduced field trips and vehicle emissions
• Enables net metering, Plug-in hybrid cars and
  distributed generation
• Aids in outage detection
• Identifies metered accounts not being billed and
  meter malfunctions
• Simplifies rate changes
• Provides potential new revenue from value-added
  products, services
• Reduces congestion in power lines balanced
  distribution load management

AMI Capability
Even finer resolution data potentially
approaching SCADA of 10 seconds or less
Ability to interface
multiple protocols and devices
AMI
Hourly Reads 1 / Day or less
AMR
15 Min Reads 1 / Day or less
Outage Reports

Suggestions

• Compare network size to Internet in mid-1990s
• Provide more than 20 years of expandable
  architecture
• Similar to Internet Protocol (IP) and Ethernet in
  1980s
• Provide a subset of features
• Offer new infrastructure to accommodate higher
  speeds, lower latencies, greater capacities,
  enhanced features and more economies of scale
• Ensure a secure environment
• Greater security than business Wireless LAN
• More than Supervisory Control and Data
  Acquisition (SCADA)
• Emphasize changing technology
• 23 years of exponential technology growth
• Needs Collaboration
• Economies of scale
• Interactive energy services for customers and
  company

9
Suggestions

• Computer controlled 300 MW load shed?
• Turn-on/turn-off through AMI network
• Home area network devices for demand response,
  load shed
• Programmable, communicating thermostats,
  plug-in-hybrid cars and generators
• Support smart grid direction to minimize
  throwaway
• Response time and speed
• AMI is not the only connectivity
• Use thoughtful approach for request for proposal
  and installation
• Design end to end complete process
• Dont build quick and dirt
• Think about future
• upgrades of your core business objects
