Low voltage current estimation using AMI/smart meter data

Abstract

This paper investigates how currents on a low voltage network can be estimated when not all the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) / smart meters are reporting their values in real-time. This is done by combining real-time monitoring at the distribution substation with historical readings from the meters. Accurate knowledge of the currents is a key element of Advanced Distribution Management Systems. It is found that the k-nearest neighbors weighted average approach performs best.

An Autonomous Home Energy Management System Using Dynamic Priority Strategy in Conventional Homes

“…Advanced-metering infrastructure (AMI) in the smart grid infrastructure provides a bidirectional connection between the smart meter and utility company. Price signals from the utility company are transmitting through AMI and received by the intelligent meter [29]. Additionally, there is bidirectional communication between the HEMS controller and the smart meter.…”
