Echelon Enables Powerful and Efficient Grid Analytics
with New Smart Meter Software that Helps Utilities
Avoid Service Outages
Industry First - Smart meters (Echelon/OSGP) can now be upgraded in the field to function
as multi-parameter grid sensors, in addition to serving as billing devices.
Reduces Data Deluge - Separating billing data from grid power quality data enables utilities
to minimize the volume of data collected and processed, while increasing its usefulness –
ultimately improving service reliability at lower cost.

3. Evolution of Smart Grid
Today Tomorrow Future
Automated Metering AMI + Low Voltage The Optimized Grid
Infrastructure (AMI) Distribution Automation
Billing focused More flexible and dynamic Proactive fault identification
Basic rate structures interaction with customers Micro-grid level balancing
Little consumer participation Meter as grid sensor Automation of LV controls
Basic PQ values collected Transformer monitoring Customer is active buyer and
DMS integration seller of energy
New Features Being Announced
4. The Smart Grid Data Deluge
With smart meters, utilities have to process data at 15-
minute intervals, which is about a 3,000-fold increase in
daily data processing for a utility. And this is just the first
wave of the data deluge.
The second wave will include granular data from smart
appliances, electric vehicles and other metering points
throughout the grid. This will greatly increase the amount
of data being generated.

7. Grid Sensor Software on Meter
Reduces data deluge, improves data relevance
Before with 1x16 channels of data:
Utility either had all the data or none at all
Introduces a data deluge problem (take more data than they wanted)
Reduced flexibility
Couldn’t change configurations (can’t change billing parameters mid cycle)
Cost
Now with 4x16 channels of data, utilities can:
Collect at different intervals, times; can schedule automatic or on-demand
delivery
Collect billing and power quality data segmented into separate data sets
(supports local billing regulations)
ECN-ready for distributed intelligence; working with ECN utilities can have a
distributed model pulling data to the ECN and/or deciding to bring it back to
the head-end
Reduces data deluge, offers more flexibility and reduces costs
8. Transformer Protection Software on Meter
Extends transformer life
Per phase measurement power, current, and max power
Protects transformer/fuse
Utilities know before they reach transformer peak load limits
• Provides load balancing (grid sensing)
Allows utility to configure loads across phases.
• Extends life of distribution assets
Current Measurement
9. Software Enhancements at Head End
Valuable for Distribution Management Systems (DMS)
Geographic Mapping
Automatically maps grid devices to transformers – 100% accurate
Provides communications status
10. Echelon’s New MTR 0600
