2. Traditional meter Smart meter
 No data storage.
A
 A meter reader physically
comes to your home to record
information.
 Electricity use can only be
tracked by either waiting for
your quarterly bill or manually
reading your household meter
yourself.
 No outage detection.
 Must be done manually.
 Stores electricity consumed
every half an hour.
 Data is automatically
transmitted to the metering
company.
 Digital data of energy
consumption and time of use
can be provided
 Automated outage detection
 Connections and
disconnections are faster 2

4. The benefits associated with the Smart Grid
include:
 More efficient transmission of electricity.
 Quicker restoration of electricity after power
disturbances.
 Reduced operations and management costs for utilities,
and ultimately lower power costs for consumers.
 Reduced peak demand, which will also help lower
electricity rates
 Increased integration of large-scale renewable energy
systems.
 Improved security

5.  A Smart meter is a clever new electricity meter
that automatically sends meter readings to
central system.
 That means , no more estimated bills and a
much better chance of saving money on your
energy.

6.  Smart meters provide the Smart Grid interface
between you and your energy provider. Installed
in place of your old, mechanical meter, these
meters operate digitally, and allow for automated
and complex transfers of information between
your home and your energy provider. For
instance, smart meters will deliver signals from
your energy provider that can help you cut your
energy costs.

7.  A Smart meter records the energy we use and
sends it to metering company and to a handheld
Smart energy display in your home. Put your
Smart energy display somewhere where you
can keep an eye on it and it’ll give you an idea
of what you’re paying for your energy and help
you see where you could save money.
SMART ENERGY DISPLAY

8. On an in-home display, you’ll be able to read:
 how much energy you’re using in near real time
 how much energy was used in the last hour,
week, and month (and what it costs)
 whether your electricity use is high, medium or
low
 updates in near real time for electricity.

10.  Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is an
integrated system of smart meters,
communications networks, and data
management systems that enables two-way
communication between utilities and customers.

11.  AMI will improve three key features of India’s
grid system including :
◦ system reliability
◦ Energy costs
◦ Electricity theft
11

12.  Eliminates manual monthly meter readings
 Monitors the electric system much more quickly
 Makes it possible to use power resources more
efficiently
 In control of your energy costs
 Accurate bills, with no more meter readings
 Reduces the number of blackouts
 it enables consumers to directly review their
electricity usage . 12

13.  An initial increase in the budget.
 Storage of vast quantities of consumer data
