Meter Data Management System

Our Software 

The rapid urbanization and ever-increasing size of our cities are creating new challenges for electric power distribution. On the one hand, as more and more people migrate to cities, their power requirement has increased significantly, on the other hand, with rapid urbanization more and more remote areas are now being added to the grid network. As a result of this companies are left with two major challenges a) predicting the power demand and b) collection of data in a timely manner. There are many other secondary problems that arise of this, for e.g. given the sheer volume of data generated by these cities and towns, it becomes very difficult to handle this data, process, and analyze it.

ConnectedSCADA offers a unique solution to this conundrum. Our Meter Data Management System (MDMS) addresses these challenges in the most elegant manner. The software can cater to a large array of meters, can process data in real-time, and use the power of Big Data technologies process and analyze the data in a very short duration. This software is ideal for use in Smart Cities, Smart Grids and can be used for billing, reporting, service quality monitoring, SLA compliance, fault and recovery monitoring, etc.

“The Internet of Things is removing mundane repetitive tasks or creating things that just weren’t possible before, enabling more people to do more rewarding tasks and leaving the machines to do repetitive jobs.”

  • Linking with billing systems is possible. Interfacing with other equipment is flexible
  • Google maps are used to show areas affected by power outages.
  • Built-in easy, keyword-based search mechanism for different types of information

Capabilities

  • Analysis of metered data
  • Configurable reporting e.g.
    • A load profile can be shown in a bar or line graph.
    • The graphs can be switched to display kilowatt-hours (kWh), cost ($), and CO2 (kg of CO2)
    • Time frames can be specified (yearly, monthly, or daily)
  • Display of trends in metered data ( Energy (cumulative value), Power consumption per hour, Line Status, etc.)
  • Power outage and power restoration alarms
  • Monitor consumers’ power outages and recoveries.
