AMI/AMR Implementation – Advice Requested

AMI/AMR Implementation – Advice Requested
Hello UAI Members,
I hope everyone had a great weekend! Last week I connected with one of our members from Enbridge Gas Inc. who is currently on the path to automated meter reading (AMR/AMI). In preparation, Enbridge was hoping to learn more from others on the following:
- How did you implement AMI/AMR – (purchased software, worked with a consultant or figured it out in house, etc.)
- Sharing experiences relating to the following
- Using AMR/AMI and related data to improve system planning – peak analysis etc.
- Sharing of hourly data with customers – what aspect was of most value in this front and also an understanding of the levels of difficulty with this
- Improvements to meter testing/sampling – as new meters can report back if their health is deteriorating
- Other values derived through AMR/AMI implementation
Given the popularity of this topic, I’m hoping our members will be willing to share their experiences to assist Enbridge. Please provide any insight below and let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I don’t think the industry is doing enough. At my company they mandate cyber security training, most based on spotting phishing email messages. They send out fake emails to “test” associates and clicking on fake links can results in disciplinary actions or even termination. This is important, but merely focuses on obvious threats. The “evil AI” is probably going to happen at some point. It might even have a physical aspect as well. For example what if fleets of autonomous drones armed with explosives were launched to attack substations? Protection will get harder and harder.

Subject: AI and Deep FakesI was reading a Gartner Research document on AI this morning. Not AI in the way we normally think of it. Like AI to help us improve the appreciate the utility business. But AI to deprecate our business. AI to hack and wreck havoc. Maybe we can call it the Anti-AI. Is the utility industry doing enough to protect ourselves from evil AI? Do we need to create the the Mandalorian Protectors of utilities? Or is this something for the cyber community at large to address?

That’s correct. Penetration testing and phishing testing seems to be the norm, but are we protecting ourselves from AI and deep fakes? I’s worth a community conversation or a Summit session.
