Smart Meters and Advanced Metering Architectures
The energy industry is increasingly focused on customer satisfaction, reliability, cost savings and energy efficiency. As a strategic response, many energy companies are turning to Advanced Metering Architecture/Automated Meter Reading (AMI/AMR) technologies.
From meter reading to customer service to engineering and system planning, AMI/AMR is the cornerstone of improvement across the energy industry. Technological advancements and the availability of low-cost architectural features create opportunities for scale, value-added services, and potential new revenue streams.
Harness the full strategic and regulatory benefits of AMI/AMR
DNV enables energy companies to effectively deploy AMI/AMR and capture the full strategic and regulatory benefits of the technology.
We help clients better understand why planned or existing AMI/AMR technology is an enabling asset—a platform for operational excellence, long-term sustainability and financial growth. And, we help our clients select the right technology, communications infrastructure and system upgrades to successfully improve enterprise-wide operations.
No single technology is the best option for all energy companies. Multiple drivers must be considered in order to optimize technology deployment. Standardization is also necessary to facilitate obtaining interoperable solutions from different vendors.
