Conclusions

Reasons for massive roll out in Czech republic
 2009/72/EC directive
 development in field of energy metering
 expected introduction of smart grids
 specific (different) position of Czech republic
 cca 5 millions of customers
 RIPPLE CONTROL, under which is managed approx 1/3 of retail
points of consumption (represents approx ½ of energy supplied in
low tariff, retail)
 yearly billing of retail customers
 continuously / remote red are all customers connected to extra high
voltage, high voltage and some connected to low voltage (over 63
amps)
 deployment of smart metering is a big challenge for CEZ, for our
customers and also for our suppliers > that is why we run a pilot project
prior to decision about massive roll-out
Therefore we escaped from basic scenario ( 80% till 2020 )
Reasons for massive roll out in Italy
 What we thought about their reasons
 30% of losses
 black-out
 limited DMS
 cash flow not fully controlled

Reasons for massive roll out in Sweden
 What we thought about their reasons
 market liberalization
 monthly readings
 easier switching
 easier life for field workforce – remote readings and management
time for Baard
Sweden, 100% Rolled-out by 2009
• Regulation stipulated: Every household should be invoiced based
on actual consumption, every Month, instead of a predicted
consumption.
• The above meant that 5,4 Million meters (Less than 64 Amps)
where to be replaced by “smart meters” that remotely could be
read for meter values once a Month.
• The responsible part of exchanging the meters where the Grid
company (Cost/Benefit analysis positive as a result of charging
the consumer over a period of years)
• Approx. 175 Grid companies changed their meters during a 6 year
period
Swedish conditions for Smart Meters
• Three major Utilities represented more than 52% of all meters
• Different ways of managing roll-outs
• Vattenfall; Did two projects with approx. 500K meters in each
• Fortum; Did one large project with all meters (the supplier ran into
financial difficulties and went bankrupt during the latter part of the
project)
• E.ON; Spread the total amount of meters in 7 different projects with
various amount of meters in each
• Several “small utilities” cooperated in purchasing groups to get
volumes
• Several “municipality owned” grid companies did it them selves
• Difficulties in national
Swedish effect
• All Swedish meters are “smart” from September 2009
• Consumption of energy has risen with 25% in the last 10 years
• At the same time the yearly average price of a kWh has gone up
with 229%
• Smart Metering has increased the easiness of switching
• Smart Metering has improved the knowledge of consumers and
have increased the awareness
• Smart Meters have, however, not created efficiency as expected
Maingate role in the Swedish market?
• I have myself been a project director of two major roll-out projects
in Sweden (Total of 500K meters)
• Maingate have been involved in more than 50 Projects where
54% of the total amount of meters are involved
• Maingate is currently working with more than 300 Utilities to plan
roll outs, execute roll outs, after market approach and in the
demand side management side of Smart Meters and Smart Grid
technology
Key learning points
• Smart metering roll out is a logistic project!
• Planning is key to success!
• Leave it to experts, but stay in control
• Source and purchase not only components but functions/services
• Make your solution future proof
• Make sure that supplier contracts are back to back (when
feasible)
• Choose your partners, not out of price but out of experience
• Be prepared for surprises, there will be at least one every week!

Overall information
Within the WPP AMM project the AMM technology was installed in almost
1000 distribution substations
Furthermore was installed:
•
over 100 couplers of the PLC MV technology;
•
tens of repeaters of the BPL technology;
•
and many others.
3-membered team → installation of AMM technology into one substation/day
Installation of the AMM technology includes:
•
creation of interface in substation
•
installation and start up of the AMM technology
Necessary power outage for installation → limitation of consumers
Power outage is necessary to plan at least 2 months in advance!!
Precise coordination → alpha and omega of AMM technology installations…
Coordination: what is connected with installation of
AMM technology?
„Decalogue of AMM“
Coordination of several outages and teams during one day:
1. Logistics of power outages…
2. Preparation for the day „D“ (material, possible complications etc.)
3. Verification of the right phase rotation before power outage
4. Acceptance of worksite by AZ Elektrostav before installation
5. Drawing of circuit diagram in Microstation in field
6. Creation of detailed photo documentation before and after installation
7. Functionality verification of the installed technology with the control
8. Acceptance of worksite by ČEZ Distribuční služby after installation
9. Issuance of works inspector‘s report
10. Preparation and signing of completion certificates and complete
documentation with ČEZ Měření and ČEZ Distribuce

Repeaters installation of the BPL technology
High-speed transmission→ high frequency → shorter range
Smart Region Vrchlabí:
•
task to install about 30 repeaters in a plastic box
•
indicated as routine installations → each box „4 screws and a
cord“ 
•
drawn ambicious plan „2-membered team will install in 3 days“
i.e. 10 boxes a day…
Repeaters installation Ad hoc:
1. do we have project documentation ???
2. is settlement of property rights carried out ???
3. is power outage for installation planned???
•
I will rather stop asking…
Repeaters installation of the BPL technology
1) Installation of box
with repeater
2) Repeater installation
on the door (outside)
3) Repeater installation
inside the stand
4) Repeater installation
on the cover
5) Repeater installation
on the door (inside)
Installations carried
out without outages!!
i.e. without consumer limitations
Installation of smart meters at the CEZ Headquarters
„Able to measure – able to economize“:
•
Installation of the AMM technology for power
circuits of each individual floor
•

Integrated Ripple Control System
Corinex- BPL specific features
■
■
■
■
■
■
The module has a broadcast address
The module is able to accept a broadcast
(e.g. a telegram for everybody- only right
ones react)
Reaction for telegram if address part is OK
is: change of tariff/output, change of virtual
output change of limiter, change of
disconnector, etc.
Similar actions as above enabled in TOU
Above actions are enabled by unicast and
single address command
A possibility to operate so called “virtual
relay- e.g. home automation” (nice to have)

PROVEN
■ BPL technology has an unparalleled reading performance in areas where tested
■ Easy to deploy
■ Cost comparable with narrow band solution in absolute terms, and hundreds
times lower in price per Mb
■ Technology is supported by strongest silicon vendors (TI, Marvell, Intel).
■ In various market segments: EV, SmartGrid, to the meter.
OPEN
■ It is a new technology. One needs to better understand what it cannot do.
■ Solution can be further enhanced, benefiting from the speed and reliability of the
technology – it is not fully exploited yet.
■ To lower the risk it would be beneficial to expand number of meter vendors
adopting the technology (currently five in Europe)
■ To be able to scale up to 1 million meters + it would be good to have a
concentrator – it is on the roadmap and will be introduced in September 2012. It
will enable solution for up to 30 mil meters.
■ Vulnerable to the limited knowledge about its actual cost and performance

What customers with AMM tarif say different ?
 Customers have adopted AMM tariff because of prospective
 savings (89%) or
 to be able to on-line monitor their consumption (74%).
 23% of those who accepted guess they will save 16% of their bills.
 Customer’s willingness to decrease their living comfort is very limited –
see next slide
 Final saving was minor – customers were able to move only 1,5% of their
consumption for peak to off-peak
60% wanted to monitor their consumption on web portal,
in reality only 39% monitored, avg. once per 10 days.

Smart office – real potential of savings
”Without a human perspective on M2M technology we will never
experience the full potential of M2M.”
“When the infrastructure is in place there are no boundaries of how
it can be utilized. Both at home and at work.”
“We now talk about M2H, machines servicing human and not at
least machines servicing society in large.”
Baard Eilertsen, CEO at Maingate
What do these have in common?
Obsolete apps replaced by digital one´s and
then turned into services
And the electrical meter have gone from
products to Value added services online
E.ON give its customers 100KOLL
Through innovative technology the
customers of the energy company E.ON
are able to control their energy
consumption via smart phones. It is only
when you are both aware and have
access to real knowledge about your
energy consumption that you can make
active decisions and lower both your cost
and impact on the environment, says
Anders Olsson, Deputy CEO at E.ON.
