Let me take a shot at explaining what this “platform” means in the smart meter ecosystem
Platform refers to the “Advance Metering Infrastructure Service Provider (AMISP)” or the “AMISP” for Design-Build-Finance-Own-Operate-Transfer (DBFOOT) the Advance Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Project.
AMISP is responsible for financing and implementing the entire project. ( Think of it like a road contractor at the risk of oversimplification)
AMISP is also responsible for the Asset Management and Control (AMC) operations for meter-months of all meters and related infrastructure after the Operational Go-Live of the AMI system.
Utility pays AMISP Service Charge on a monthly basis, following the terms and conditions of the AMISP Contract.
At the end of the Contract Period, AMISP transfers ownership of the entire system, including hardware, software, valid licenses, and any collected data during the Project, to Utility for seamless operation of Utility businesses.
The scope of work for AMISP includes end-to-end metering, covering Feeders, Distribution Transformers (DTs), and all end consumers in the selected AMI Project area, enabling complete energy accounting with zero manual intervention.
