Agenda

  • AMR vs. AMI: Understanding the structural and operational shift to true bi-directional infrastructure.

  • Smart Meter Architecture: Layer-by-layer breakdown of sensing, processing, communication, and head-end layers, including PCB design considerations, calibration, accuracy classes, and preventing meter creep.

  • End-to-End Communication Pathways: Mapping data flow from local buses (UART, I2C, SPI, Modbus RTU, Optical) across network protocols (PLC, RF mesh, Cellular, DLMS/COSEM) to the Meter Data Management System (MDMS).

  • Power Quality & Grid Health: Practical application of active, reactive, and apparent power, power factor, and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in billing and grid optimization.

  • Net Metering & Distributed Energy: Operational mechanics, bi-directional meter handling, and islanding/safety concerns.

  • Standards & Compliance: Metering evolution, multi-phase wiring configurations, and governing frameworks (IEC, IEEE, MID).
