New generation energy distribution and settlement system
- Temperature correcting gas meter with data transmission unit
Pulse output gas meter with integrated data transmission unit (AMR)
- AMR fitted to the gas meter, integrated with the meter
- hourly storage of consumption data, transmission once per day
- local memory up to 20 days data storage capacity
- built-in battery operated device, expected lifetime equals to the meter validation period
- IP 65 encapsulated protection
- tamper monitoring (cable cut)
- power life monitoring
- remote firmware update
- encrypted data transmission
- easy installation
- Using blockchain for the management of metering data
Blockchain is used to store
- customer data
- data on gas meter equipment
- measured gas consumption data
Advantages of blockchain
- to serve as a credible and traceable source of information
- data cannot be falsified later
- data can be mutually agreed between the parties involved into clearing
Business benefits
- Support of data analysis, e.g. detection of leakage or gas theft;
- Creation of a data marketplace;
- Fewer human resources for meter reading;
- Potential extension of meter validation period.
- Anomaly detection supported by Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The use of artificial intelligence offers the possibility to efficiently maintain the gas (or electricity) network, detect potential anomalies and predict network consumption.
AI methods can be used to detect anomalies in the utility network
- leaks
- frauds
- meter malfunctions
The process of AI supported data analysis
- clustering of the customers based on their consumption
- training a reference model for each consumer
- evaluation of the consumption of each customer with respect to the cluster’s avarage
- detection and on-site inspection of potential anomalies
Business benefits
- estimation of the probability of a potential anomaly occurring at a consumer
- supporting the design of a personalised dynamic tariff scheme
- supporting the operation efficiency of the gas (or electricity) network
