PROJECT SCOPE / OBJECTIVES:

 

A closer monitoring of the power consumption (or gas etc) has been demanded by customers experiencing that power companies bill them with the highest price, in stead of a continous billing based on a real-time price.

 

·         Social energy conservation

·         Instructions from authorities on ever lower limits on by the hour meter-readings (two ways).

·         High initial costs on relatively large developments reaching few ”customers” (small ratio of charge)

·         Disconnection at one hours notice for many users/customers

·         The power crisis 2002/3.

·         To-way continuous readings is a better investment in a short-term perspective, than investments in the power-grid ?!

·         The customer is able to save money just when the price is high (Not quarterly statements)

 

 

Meter-reader uses ISDN number in a standard way, but the number is not owned by the end-user, but the power company or other wholsale company (eg ISP). Calls (polls) are mostly initated from the wholsale company, but can also be from the end user epuipment

ISDN user-equipment that responds to calls, is programmed with its own number (standard):

·         The customer uses numbers given in telephones and data-equipment

·         External company uses number given for this specific customers access.

·         The equipment can use the diferent transfer mechanisms in ISDN as required.

o        Fixed network SMS

o        User-To-User information D-channel

o        64k on B-channel (Dial-up from Power Company)

·         Various security-mechanisms may be added.

 

Wholesale service, i.e. The company buyes a bulk ”ISDN telemetry” number which is pre-defined on certain access points.

Price-parameters: (volume-dependent, not yet determined, but expected to be competitive)

·         Establishment of service

·         Subscription

·         One invoice is sent to the company for all subscribers

·         For customers without ISDN, special arrangements should be offered.

·         Companies offer discount-deals for customers with (or installing) ISDN

·         Companies cover a shim

 

The ISDN telemetry service can/will also be used for other services like alarm, energy control and general smarthose services.
