Meter Data collection & analysis solution

A leading edge utility in Canada has deployed the most recent version of PrimeStone’s solutions platform. The main objective of this project was to implement a solution that supports the continued growth of suite metering points, ensuring the scalability of the system to handle future growth. Today, the software reads 80,000 meters. The number of suite meters to be read over the next few years is expected to top out at 150,000 end points.

A huge benefit is the reduction of data collection time while increasing scalability to handle the additional meters that are processed on the system. Part of this program also leverages the virtual meter capabilities of the software that allows for individual meters to be grouped into one “virtual” meter to track energy used in apartment skyscrapers. This utility client is happy to be a reference for PrimeStone and to get more detail about this company, their advanced implementation, and representatives to speak with, please contact our team. Unfortunately, utility rules prevents PrimeStone from displaying their company name or exact details.

An undisputed leader in the utility industry, this multi-state vertically integrated company provides generation, transmission and distribution to millions of customers. This success case deals with their generation division and the deployment of PrimeStone’s solutions platform with near real-time sub-minute interval monitoring of instantaneous registers.

This implemented project is proof positive that solutions platform is truly scalable to millions of data collection records per day. With this program, 25,000 instantaneous meter registers are collected from a number of different meter manufacturer models each minute, 24 by 7. The resulting daily collection of this data is 36 Million records. References for this project from this confidential customer are available upon request.

This technologically advanced renewable energy company uses the PrimeStone meter data collection software for two important wind farm projects: Eólica de Arriaga and Eólica los Altos. Additionally, the company integrated the data collection software to feed their billing system and efficiently charge their customers.

The multinational Italian powerhouse company, Enel, use PrimeStone’s meter data collection system in Mexico for the flexibility that is built into it, the platform provides for the management of different meter manufacturer models, and meets the stringent data reliability requirements for this global company.  Enel’s revenue in 2017 was $74 Billion Euros or an estimated $83 Billion Dollars.  PrimeStone’s ability to fit their technology solutions into Enel’s complex IT environment is a testament to the company’s software development and implementation skills.

The Spain-based multinational electric utility company with headquarters in Bilbao generated around 31 billion euros last year.  Iberdrola uses the PrimeStone meter data collection solution to control and manage the data from eleven different sites throughout Mexico, to serve industrial clients with high electricity consumption.

This company is part of the multinational, ENEL.  They deployed PrimeStone’s solutions at two of their main projects:

• Mantis: This project is aimed at controlling losses. Harnessing PrimeStone’s Revenue Assurance Solution (consisting of the meter data collection module, the alerts & alarms module, and the VEE module) to read meters and generate alarms that are centrally managed using intelligent modems. Since deployment, the utility has increased visibility into where the potential loss points are in their network and are deploying their operation crews in a more timely and effective way as a result of this deployed software from PrimeStone.
• Meter Data Collection Center: In order to maintain compliance with the established rules in the CREG 038 regulation, CODENSA set up its Measurement Management Center for the administration of commercial border points also known as intertie points.  They deployed PrimeStone’s meter data collection software which collects data daily and automatically sends the report required that is required by the Colombian Market Administrator, XM.  One of the strongest value propositions that PrimeStone brought to Enel Codensa was the automated, always on data collection software with advanced reporting.
