Advanced Metering Infraestructure Case Study in Federal University of Santa Maria

The increase in electrical energy consumption is causing the grid to be more complex in the last years. Utilities need to improve the quality of the service, as the efficiency of delivering energy, while electric vehicles and distributed energy resources are becoming a reality in the market. The advance of electronic communication technology, the processing capacity of computers, cloud computing, among others, enables many features for Smart Grids. The Advanced Metering Infraestructure is one of the tools enabled by Smart Grids, which is an information system for collecting, storing and analyzing power data. The structure, communication technologies, and benefits of this tool are discussed in the paper. Then, the case study of the Federal University of Santa Maria Advanced Metering Infrastructure is shown, followed by its results.
