Resumen
Descripción
In the second half of the 1980s, several
electricity companies in developed countries incorporated
the automation of the reads of the consumption meters
installed in their customers' premises. Adoption of
that approach was driven in all the cases by the need to
lower the significant costs of in-site reading, reflecting
high labor costs in rich countries. There are several AMI
options potentially viable for each of the automated meter
reading (AMI) applications, covering a wide range in terms
of technical and functional specifications of hardware and
software. However, the technical and economic feasibility of
a specific option crucially depends on the current
operational and financial performance of the involved
utilities, as well as on other key characteristics
(institutional, regulatory, development of communications
infrastructure) of the environment in which they operate. It
is very clear that, in AMI, one size does not fit all. The
applicability and options for applying AMI or smart meters
technology to a variety of customer management issues
commonly found in public service utilities, in particular in
electricity distribution companies, are described and
analyzed in this report.
