The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate how a software based prepaid platform compliments the AMI environment. By drawing from the technology offered through AMI -- specifically daily usage reads --PAMS (Prepaid Account Management System) if able to offer a feasible option to both credit challenged consumers who are unable to fulfill deposit requirements or pay large monthly bills and consumers desiring to lessen their impact on the environment through usage monitoring and decreased consumption. In acheiving this goal, particular attention will be paid to integration with both AMI and CIS and the use of MultiSpeak in acquiring required data.
This presentation discusses why field testing is an important practice to implement. It then discusses the various types of problems one can diagnose in the field and their causes. Finally it demonstrates how to test for these problems using modern test equipment.
Do you use Daylight Savings Time in any region of your utility? If yes, do you use DST in ALL regions of your utility? If no, how do you deal with the difference? Do you identify your displayed quantities with some type of identifier, such as ID 01 is kWh, ID 02 is kw,ID 03 is kvarh, etc? Is that standardized throughout you company?
Has your company every performed a study on the maximum amount of load that can be broken without using a load breaking device (example: Opening 50kVA pole mounted transformer with non-load break cutout)? Do you allow electric meters to be pulled while under load or are you using a company procedure for this work?
