挑战
2011 年，BC Hydro 开始了一项雄心勃勃的智能电网项目，其中包括用近 200 万个最先进的智能电表替换旧的机电电表。该公司开展了行业领先的智能电网部署，目标是提高该地区的能源效率和可靠性，同时减少损失并更快地识别停电。随着 BC Hydro 开始推出智能电表，领导层很快意识到，如果没有合适的技术，它将面临在整个运营过程中整合来自如此多不同来源的数据的重大挑战。
客户

关于客户
BC Hydro and Power Authority 是不列颠哥伦比亚省的一家加拿大电力公司，通常简称为 BC Hydro。它是主要的电力分销商，为大部分地区的 180 万客户提供服务，但 Ne 市除外
解决方案
BC Hydro 与 Bit Stew Systems 合作设计了一个数据架构，该架构可以快速轻松地集成来自近 200 万个智能电表、5,000 多个继电器、2,000 个路由器以及 30 个不同的运营和 IT 系统（包括本土和遗留系统）的数据。通过实施 Bit Stew 的 MIx 产品组合，包括 MIx Core 和 MIx Director Suite，BC Hydro 能够将来自智能电网的 AMI 数据与来自电网资产健康跟踪系统、配电网管理系统、现场调度系统、工作SAP、客户信息系统、Itron 的 AMI 系统、仪表数据管理系统、地理空间信息系统 (GIS) 等管理系统。 BC Hydro 还实施了 Bit Stew 的 MIx Director Suite，它可以对数据进行实时分析，生成丰富的可视化并提供“单一窗格”视图，使运营商能够看到整个智能电网中发生的重要活动。它提供了一个仪表板界面，使操作员能够更轻松地评估情况、分类警报和警报，并获得他们需要的可操作情报，以便更快地做出明智的决策。

IoT Solutions for Smart City | Internet of Things Case Study
There were several challenges faced: It is challenging to build an appliance that can withstand a wide range of voltage fluctuations from as low at 90v to as high as 320v. Since the device would be installed in remote locations, its resilience was of paramount importance. The device would have to deal with poor network coverage and have the ability to store and re-transmit data if networks were not available, which is often the case in rural India. The device could store up to 30 days of data.

Automation of the Oguz-Gabala-Baku water pipeline, Azerbaijan
The Oguz-Gabala-Baku water pipeline project dates back to plans from the 1970’s. Baku’s growth was historically driven by the booming oil industry and required the import of drinking water from outside of the city. Before the construction of the pipeline, some 60 percent of the city’s households received water for only a few hours daily. After completion of the project, 75 percent of the two million Baku residents are now served around the clock with potable water, based on World Health Organization (WHO) standards. The 262-kilometer pipeline requires no pumping station, but uses the altitude differences between the Caucasian mountains and the capital to supply 432,000 m³/d to the Ceyranbatan water reservoir. To the people of Baku, the pipeline is “the most important project not only in 2010, but of the last 20 years.”

GPRS Mobile Network for Smart Metering
Around the world, the electricity supply industry is turning to ‘smart’ meters to lower costs, reduce emissions and improve the management of customer supplies. Smart meters collect detailed consumption information and using this feedback consumers can better understand their energy usage which in turn enables them to modify their consumption to save money and help to cut carbon emissions. A smart meter can be defined in many ways, but generally includes an element of two-way communication between the household meter and the utility provider to efficiently collect detailed energy usage data. Some implementations include consumer feedback beyond the energy bill to include online web data, SMS text messages or an information display in consumers’ premises. Providing a cost-effective, reliable communications mechanism is one of the most challenging aspects of a smart meter implementation. In New Zealand, the utilities have embraced smart metering and designed cost effective ways for it to be implemented. The New Zealand government has encouraged such a move to smart metering by ensuring the energy legislation is consistent with the delivery of benefits to the consumer while allowing innovation in this area. On the ground, AMS is a leader in the deployment of smart metering and associated services. Several of New Zealand’s energy retailers were looking for smart metering services for their residential and small business customers which will eventually account for over 500,000 meters when the multi-year national deployment program is concluded. To respond to these requirements, AMS needed to put together a solution that included data communications between each meter and the central data collection point and the solution proposed by Vodafone satisfied that requirement.

NB-IoT connected smart meters to improve gas metering in Shenzhen
Shenzhen Gas has a large fleet of existing gas meters, which are installed in a variety of hard to reach locations, such as indoors and underground, meaning that existing communications networks have struggled to maintain connectivity with all meters. The meter success rate is low, data transmissions are so far unstable and power consumption is too high. Against this background, Shenzhen Gas, China Telecom, Huawei, and Goldcard have jointly trialed NB-IoT gas meters to try and solve some of the challenges that the industry faces with today’s smart gas meters.

British Gas Modernizes its Operations with Innovative Smart Metering Deployment
The UK government has mandated that smart meters are rolled out as standard across Great Britain by end of 2020, and this roll-out is estimated to create £14 billion in net benefits to the UK in consumer energy savings and lower energy generation demand, according to the Oxford Economics report, “The Value of Smart Metering to Great Britain.” While smart-metering systems have been deployed in many countries, the roll-out in Great Britain is unique because it is led by energy retailers, who have responsibility for the Electricity and Gas meters. The decision to have a retailer-led roll out was made by DECC (Department of Energy and Climate Change) to improve customer experience and drive consumer benefits. It has also led to some unique system-level requirements to support the unique local regulatory model.
