1. General 1.1 Scope ADDAX IMS represents a set of solutions of the challenges facing the modern electricity metering technology in the framework of the AMI concepts. ADDAX Metering Solution provides meter reading, data collection, data processing, communication and certain functions of data analysis. ADDAX System offers load control and load shedding, multi-rate metering, fraud protection functions and energy quality control. The system provides all the necessary data for meter-to-cash business processes. 1.2 About this document This document describes the ADDAX Metering Solutions. Some...

Functionality enhancement- Communication capabilities expansion, Home Area Network (HAN) support. Smart Grid functionality development. Role of the ADDAX IMS in the entire meter-to-cash business processes Figures 1 presents the ADDAX products role in the meter-to-cash business process. ADDAX IMS is hardware and software metering suite, which comprises end point and communication equipment as hardware components and SIMS (Smart Integrated Metering System) as a Data Collection system. SIMS being the software structural element of ADDAX IMS provides data acquisition and initial processing for...

integration of the meters is possible due to their compliance with open standards. The main business processes supported by ADDAX AMI are presented below in brief: Meter reading The ADDAX meters record parameters on consumed electric energy in the registers such as active/reactive energy, active energy import/export, reactive energy 4 quadrants, active/reactive power, max demand, TOU, etc. Data collection and processing Head-End System (HES) supports remote data exchange with end-point devices, data acquisition automatically and on-demand. The HES Repository stores the collected and...

Load control ADDAX Solution allows effective load management that provides the ability to remotely disconnect or reconnect a customer’s load by use of different type of relays. The basic 80/100A relay allows remote, local (by a function of the meter, e.g. limiter) and manual (by push button) types of control. The remote control can be carried out by address command for a meter and by group command for a group of meters. The extra relays (one of 5A or two of 2.5 A) permit disconnection/reconnection of consumer’s power load from/to supply line via an external contactor in accordance with the...

2. Architecture and main components of ADDAX Solution 2.1 Architecture of the overall solution ADDAX IMS solution is based on three-level architecture (simplified diagram is presented in Fig.2 and Fig. 3). The lower level comprises customer devices (smart meters, including HAN equipment), and customer interface units). The intermediate level is responsible for managing the communication between endpoint equipment and the Master Station, linking all three layers. The main communication technologies at the meter level are PLC LV, Hybrid PLC+RF, Point to Point communication 2G/3G/4G and...

• Transmitting metering data and alerts to the HES via Ethernet or 2G/3G/4G; • Transmitting commands from the HES to the Smart Meters; • Automatic detection, registration and support of the end-point devices within the network; • Synchronization of Smart meter's clock with the HES system time; • Support of up to 1000 end-point devices. 2.4 Customer Interface Unit Customer Interface Unit (CIU) is intended to visualize metering data, when the meter is installed at an out-of-reach place or if the direct reading-out of the metering data is inconvenient. CIU supports the following functions: •...

The data stored in non-volatile memory will be automatically requested until the meter sends it or send ‘no data’ answer. The System validates the meter values on collecting. All invalid data are discarded. The data is validated in compliance with DLMS/COSEM requirements (Blue book) using the “doubtful” attribute (AMR statuses, e.g. time error, measurement error etc) received from the meter. SIMS software enables export of accurate information to billing system regularly and on-demand. The system allows tariff planning according to customer needs. SIMS provides interested parties with the...
