Powered by real-time intelligence and open analytics
ecosystems, next-generation AMI represents a paradigm
shift towards true edge computing
BOULDER,
Colo., Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A new
report from Guidehouse Insights discusses the value
proposition of next-generation advanced metering infrastructure
(AMI) in the context of energy efficiency, smart home optimization,
grid management, and more.
Utilities have been deploying AMI for over two decades. The
first generation of AMI helped resolve archaic inefficiencies while
supporting a variety of grid- and consumer-oriented analytics use
cases. According to Guidehouse Insights, as first-generation AMI
deployments reach the end of their useful lifespans, energy
companies are increasingly opting for next-generation AMI to unlock
real-time insights and insight-the-meter intelligence to the
benefit of utilities and customers alike.
"In the same way that smartphones rapidly overtook early cell
phones, next-generation AMI represents a logical, revolutionary,
and future-proofed edge computing solution," says Michael Kelly, principal research analyst with
Guidehouse Insights. "The combination of real-time data sampling,
waveform data capture, and open ecosystems of software partners
promises to unlock and enhance a myriad of analytics use cases –
from distributed energy resource (DER) detection and smart home
optimization to location awareness and grid fault detection,
amongst many others."
Guidehouse Insights recommends replacing first-generation smart
meters with next-generation AMI, enabling seamless interoperability
between smart home platforms and AMI devices, and ensuring data
security, privacy, and integrity from hardware and software
vendors, according to the report.
The report, Next-Generation AMI Redefines Energy and
Situational Awareness for Utilities, discusses the value
proposition of next-generation AMI in the context of energy
efficiency, smart home optimization, grid management,
etc., and provides recommendations for utilities, customers,
vendors, and other relevant stakeholders. An executive summary of
the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse
Insights website.
