Metering Data Management System
As of October 1, 2008, our U.S. business is called Siemens Energy, Inc.
Smart Solutions for Energy Distribution
Today, utilities are faced with the emergence of greater demands on their assets and infrastructure than ever before. A combination of market, regulatory, environmental and operational forces is driving the utility to provide Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI). As a result of AMI, an unprecedented amount of data is being made available to the enterprise. The challenge is in using this data throughout the utility to make its operations leaner, more flexible, more environmentally conscious, and more responsive to customers.
Siemens / eMeter Partnership
Siemens has partnered with segment leader eMeter Corporation to supply Metering Data Management System (MDMS) software, EnergyIP, as well as related configuration and integration services. The key advantages of this relationship is to support customers wanting to leverage the full benefit of accessing and disseminating metering data knowledge through out the enterprise and support efficiencies in distribution planning, outage and asset management as well as operations.
Combining Siemens distribution planning and operational expertise with eMeter’s state of the art MDMS software provides customers a platform that will yield on-going cost improvement while supporting enhanced functionality into the future.
Why EnergyIP?
Combined with Siemens’ SmartGrid knowledge, EnergyIP can provide near-real time metering data to combine with other Smart assets throughout the utility to provide:
Critical load flow analysis
Reliability analysis, including SAIDI and CAIDI
Virtual measurement of asset failure predictors
Distribution asset communication
Detection of outage and locationn
Restoration from outage
Load Shedding to conserve energy consumption and cost
Load management for Operations
In addition, the MDMS backbone provides a critical layer for an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) platform, including validation, estimation and editing, billing determinates, support for meter deployment and logistics, Home Area Network support, remote connect/disconnect and much more.
When combined with the Siemens best-in-class EMS and DMS management systems, the utility now has the power to harness its infrastructure for current and future smart metering demands.
