Utilities looking to manage data coming from smart metering must have a multi-tiered plan in place. Smart meters are an end point and represent just one part of the smart grid, however, they are a strong starting point that allows for greater intelligence below the substation level. That intelligence in regards to the amount of information that will be relayed through devices in the home area network, including smart thermostats, solar panels, smart appliances and electric vehicles is phenomenal.

Smart Utility Manager (SUM) is the MDAS using which, Adya offers a very modular and scalable architecture. This is the platform where all the data comes and resides. It seamlessly integrated with the SmartHub (DCU) and accumulates the data in a filtered and organized way. The MDAS is built on.Net Framework. It has the ability to get the data periodically or on-demand basis and this data are fed into the MDM (Oracle/SAP/OSI Soft) using the WebServices.

The MDAS enables many things like Tariff and firmware upgrades, identifying alerts, enabling the services, carbon calculations etc. It sends across alerts the management and the field staff to take corrective measure. The SUM supports not only energy but also gas and water meters.
