Billing system SCADA ARM

Abstract

SCADA AMR is the technology of automatically collecting consumption, diagnostic, and status data from energy metering devices (gas, electric) and transferring that data to a central database for billing, troubleshooting, and analyzing. This technology mainly saves utility providers the expense of periodic trips to each physical location to read a meter. Another advantage is that billing can be based on near real-time consumption rather than on estimates based on past or predicted consumption. AMR technologies include mobile and network technologies based on GSM/CDMA platforms, }wired Ethernet or powerline transmission. In the article is considered the program complex SCADA ARM which is developed together with SA Sandrologic ]1]} and is used in the power system of the Republic of Moldova. A distinctive feature of the system is: a wide range of communication channels from PLC to GSM /CDMA VLAN and protocols for exchanging with meters from IEC1107 up to modern DLMS/COSEM[2].
