Conductor Meter Data Management™
Schneider Electric Conductor MDM™ boosts traditional meter
data management functionality with robust data analytics and operational data storage/management capabilities – making it a comprehensive solution unlike any other MDM system available.
With these functions, you put your smart meter data to work not only for streamlined meter to cash but also for effective decision making, improved grid operations, and enterprise-level processes such as planning and customer service.
Here’s how this advanced solution helps you get the highest mileage from your smart meter data and AMI investment –
Start with reliable data aggregation
Schneider Electric Conductor MDM establishes a seamless integration of multiple, disparate data sources, including most AMI head-end systems, RTUs and IEDs. It aggregates these data elements into a common storage management platform, the industry-leading OSIsoft® PI System. This approach allows Conductor MDM to function as an Operational Data Store as well as a Meter Data Management system, giving your utility a single, secure platform through which meter data is enriched and analytics can be applied. NIST approved-standards design enables secure integration with your supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, making current and historical data readily available to correlate with meter data and events.
The powerful Conductor MDM Validation, Estimation and Editing (VEE) engine validates and corrects raw data collected by smart meters, field devices and SCADA. It can scale to support millions of service delivery and measurement points, and deliver billing-quality data to your CIS, on time, every day, as your network grows. And validation rules and estimation algorithms are configurable, so your utility realizes the results that meet your specific requirements.
Advanced visualization tools
Schneider Electric builds in tools that provide an alternative to cumbersome data tables and provide greatly enhanced visibility of your smart meters, AMI network, and distribution network – •A MI system health dashboards – A highly utilitarian user interface enables efficient visualization of real-time events, trending and situational awareness across your utility.
