5 CPS Business & Customer Needs Billing & Load Research Web Presentation Outage Management Power Quality Monitoring Alarm, Event, Diagnostic notification Distribution Engineering & Planning Communications Interfacing Load Forecasting Demand Response

6 Understanding the Needs Empower customers to manage their energy costs and provide new services through smart technology Create lasting customer value through cost effective advanced metering technology Support CPS Energy s strategy to modernize our infrastructure with smart technology towards automation

7 Advanced Metering Infrastructure Communications Infrastructure Advanced Meters Meter Data Management

8 AMI Communications Requirements The communications network should be capable of providing services on a utilities private communications network and on a public network service provider. The communications network should be capable of providing data in scheduled and near real-time access. The network should be transparent (unrestrictive), which allows CPS Energy maximum flexibility in its choice of software to implement with enhanced remote access features.

9 Advanced Metering Infrastructure Advanced Meters Remote Disconnect/Reconnect Pre-Payment Services Interval Data Net Metering Outage Management Remote Programmability

10 Meter Data Management The meter data management system essentially acts as a buffer between users of the data and the collection of the data. This allows utilities to use multiple systems without burdening applications with the specifics of how data is collected or how commands are dispatched and, similarly, allows different applications to view the same data in different ways.
