AMI Introduction

AMI (Advancd Metering infrastructure) system is automatic remote checking system using PLC (Power Line Communication) without visiting customers directly, so that offering efficiency and improvement from client’s complaint by maintaining electricity usage and power loads.

AMI is the green energy solution to improve energy management efficiency through offering real time consumption data administered by power utilities to the customer. As two-way PLC infrastructure between customer and power utilities through smart meter. AMI is the core technology to realize the Smart Grid.

Features & Effects

• Real time inquiry of electric consumption data and providing the metering data
• Cost savings through the metering automation
• Energy efficiency increase through the effective demand management
• Prevention of power outage by monitoring distribution transformer load
• Fire prevention & energy management through leakage monitoring of the
• Electricity

System Function

• Measurement of energy demand and consumption data
• In-home display related to electric consumption
• Integrated metering (electricity, water, gas and caloric value)
• Monitoring of transformer load and electric leakage of customer’s house
