Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
Kaledio Potter, JULIA ROSINSKI
Abstract
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a system that enables two-way communication between utilities and customers through smart meters and other devices. AMI can provide real-time data on energy consumption, power quality, outage detection, and demand response. AMI can also support the integration of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, and smart appliances into the grid. AMI can offer various benefits for both utilities and customers, such as improved efficiency, reliability, security, customer service, and environmental protection. However, AMI also faces some challenges, such as high costs, interoperability issues, cyberattacks, privacy concerns, and regulatory barriers.
