[Audio] Good morning. Today’s presentation is about Unit II and Smart Metering technology – a Professional Elective II course. This advanced technology is known as Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI). The key features of AMI include real-time data collection, two-way communication, billing accuracy, demand response, consumer empowerment, outage detection, and integration with renewable energy sources. Real-time data collection provides insights into consumer energy usage patterns. Smart meters in AMI systems enable remote tasks like data retrieval, billing, service connection, and demand response. Through accurate, real-time consumption data, AMI eliminates estimated billing and leads to more precise billing. Moreover, AMI empowers consumers with information about their energy usage and encourages energy-saving behaviors. Outage detection is also improved and power outages can be located and resolved quicker. Finally, AMI supports the integration of renewable energy sources by providing real-time data on both consumption and generation..

[Audio] PMUs provide synchronized measurements across multiple points on the grid, enabling the analysis of phasors with a high degree of accuracy. They can also cover a wide area and measure dynamic events, such as oscillations, voltage instability, and transient disturbances. With real-time data, PMUs provide situational awareness, wide-area monitoring, and control of the power system. PMUs are also necessary to assess grid stability, detect oscillations, and predict system instability before it causes larger disruptions. Furthermore, they offer highly accurate measurements with precise time synchronization. Lastly, PMUs can be used for state estimation, transient stability analysis, real-time monitoring, wide-area control, and oscillation detection. At the same time, while both PMUs and AMI are important for a modern smart grid, they serve different purposes. PMUs focus on providing high-resolution, synchronized measurements of grid dynamics, while AMI focuses on collecting real-time consumption data. This data can then be used to identify customer demand, manage pricing, and detect energy theft, conservation, and fraud. Thus, PMUs and AMI both play integral roles in the smart grid, and are used together to maximize efficiency and reliability..
