...... there are other examples that show some of the advantages of AMI over AMR, on the EESL twitter page, from May 3rd, 2020.
- " AMR or Automatic Meter Reading is an older technology, that only collects electrical energy consumption and transfers that data from the electric meter in the home, to the utility. ( One-way communication.)"
- " AMI or Advanced Metering Infrastructure enables two-way communication, enabling DISCOM's to serve its consumers more efficiently with real-time monitoring of energy consumption, quick grievance redressal and seamless payment.
There are also some examples of utilities coping better using AMI. Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and NDMC are mentioned.
EESL - May 3rd, 2020:-
" The positive impact of AMI can be seen in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and NDMC, where even during national lock-down, the utilities using SmartMeters have been able to handle their operations smoothly in the time of crisis."
EESL - May 3rd, 2020:-
" Utilities using AMI are better prepared to handle operations in time of crisis. Utilities with SmartMeters get consumption data, monitor and maintain operations remotely, leading to better management of load forecast, with accurate bill reads & no revenue loss."
