Making the Meter Smart
Conclusion
Smart Metering
Smart Grids – new visions of the future electric
system
Increasing demand for electricity
Lower carbon generation
Optimization of operation and usage
The business
Customer management including supplier change
Energy supply – billing
Prepayment
Load management
Network condition and health monitoring
Meter condition and health monitoring
DLMS/COSEM
DLMS – Device Language Message Specification
Generalized concept for abstract modeling of communication entities
Defines services to access meter data object elements
Defines profiles to access communication media (PSTN/GSM, Internet,
Euridis, M-bus, PLC)
3 step approach

Making the Meter Smart
The need to solve current AMR issues
Equipment compatibility and interoperability
Various communication protocols, but no unique PC software
Diferent data models – no standardized data interpretation
New meter
Compatible with ‘old’ HW and SW
DLMS/COSEM support added on the top of the current protocol stack
Changes
FLASH and RAM exhausted
Removal of less needed features (IEC62056-31 and/or RCR)
Adding DLMS/COSEM support through IEC62056-31 (‘Flag’) or directly
through RS485
Making the Meter Smart
New data model
All values and functionalities mapped to new objects’ attributes
Mainly used classes: data, register, extended register and profile
generic
Logical Name referencing: objects represented by logical names (OBIS
codes) and class identificators
3-layer HDLC communication
protocol, frame type 3
1 and 4-byte addressing –
addresses can be changed locally

Making the Meter Smart
Testing and verification
CTT
No commercial software
Further improvements
New ‘smart’ classes
Limiter
Image transfer
Multimeter
Conclusion
Smart Meters are the basis for AMI
DLMS/COSEM proposes the solution to compatibility
and interoperability issues
No PC client application that supports all
DLMS/COSEM features, too broad data presentation
possibilities -> the need for better definition
Any questions?
