Analysis on AMI system requirements for effective convergence of distribution automation and AMI systems
Published in Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.

Abstract
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), which is being considered as the first step towards smart grid, has been well acknowledged by distribution utilities for automating the management, operation and control of low voltage distribution systems with multifold installations happening across various countries. AMI offers smart meters, variety of protocols, sensors, network and software infrastructure providing two-way communications between utility and consumer. With the emergence of new system level concept in the smart distribution arena, Distribution Automation (DA) and AMI systems convergence, for developing next generation advanced distribution automation applications it is required to change the way in which AMI systems are currently being operated and provide additional capabilities or enhancements for integrated operation with DA system. In this paper we analyze the requirements for such AMI system based on state-of-the art technology advancements towards effective DA-AMI convergence operation along with a case study. © 2014 IEEE.
