USSI MDMS
AMR Analyze software provides a powerful yet economical
repository for AMI data complete with Validation and Estimating
features. The MDMS system assures the quality of data
and fills in missing data. The system provides backup of
the AMI data with scheduled scripts so that your valuable
data is safe and secure and ready for use to enhance the
value of the AMR System for Billing, Customer Service, Operations,
and Engineering applications in your utility. The system
maintains complete data integrity with all estimates identified
and logged. The system maintains a complete historical record
including a permanent history of meters that are moved to
different transformers/accounts, and meters taken out of
service. The web server architecture can make use of Windows
servers, or the very inexpensive (almost free), and very
stable Linux servers and databases. The system runs efficiently
on inexpensive PC server hardware The USSI MDMS system is
cost effective, stable, and efficient with excellent performance.
Client-side workstations access the system with standard
browsers such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla which have
no cost, no license restrictions, and no expensive dependencies.
The system can be accessed via secure connection with security
controls either over your WAN or the Internet.
AMR Analyze
MDMS’s Meter Route analyzer eases the initial
implementation of an AMR system by pre -processing the CIS
billing file. The software separates the AMR meter accounts
from the manual meter accounts to provide a revised meter
route. After readings are taken, the data is combined providing
the proper file for billing. There is no need to manually
read your AMR meters until a complete substation or communications
path is completed.
Once the meter
data is taken manually or from AMR, the data is verified
and missing or erroneous data is estimated from the best
available data. With a reasonable amount of historical
data the estimates would be more than 98% accurate. Original
data is kept and estimated data is logged and stored. Standard
reports for the billing process include: daily billing route
files; process CIS billing files; manual reading report;
and the meter-reading error log. The AMR Analyze MDMS system
can be extended to provide information to the customer over
the web with the Customer
Portal Module.
Additionally, the
Complex Billing Module provides the utility
with the ability to apply complex rate structures such as
Time of Use (TOU) and Critical Peak rates. Please refer
to the separate brochure for more information on these modules
which are due out in October, 2007..
AMR Analyze
uses AMR data to monitor the power consumption of the customer
and by using Statistical Process Control Analysis, can quickly
identify customer load changes that may be caused by such
things as faulty heat pumps. The utility customer service
representative can contact the customer early on and prevent
the customer from experiencing a large monthly power bill.
The software can also help to spot unauthorized use of power
from meter theft ,etc. Standard reports include: Hi/Lo reads
with statistical process control charts, multi-day bad meter
reads, zero usage day with non-zero average, and custom
meter groups, etc.
AMR ANALYZE
MDMS includes sophisticated transformer loading study and
blinkcount study capability from the AMI data.
This data provides accurate information to assist your utility
in transformer management. Blink count studies from the
AMI data can reveal areas of the circuit with higher than
expected meter blinks. Data is presented in informative
and easy-to-read graphical reports.
