2022: System View

On May 23, 2022, MTS PJSC "" announced the development of a comprehensive IoT solution for automatic collection data from electric meters. The use of the Energosbyt-Service system simplifies the collection of readings and significantly reduces the costs of energy sales companies when accounting for consumption. electric power

This MTS development provides a full cycle of data collection and includes electric meters with a built-in radio module of the NB-IoT standard, automated power metering systems (ASCSCS) in the MTS cloud and a traffic package. The meter on the MTS mobile network automatically transmits readings to the power metering systems of the supplying organizations. Due to the installation of such devices, consumers do not need to transmit flow data manually.

The MTS system fully complies with the legal requirements for smart electricity metering systems. The law on the introduction of intelligent electricity metering systems (FZ-522) provides for the installation and connection of only smart electric meters to intelligent automatic metering systems in resource-supplying organizations from January 01, 2022. To allow time to install such meters, in March 2022, a law was passed on a moratorium until 2024 on fines for grid organizations and electricity suppliers that did not install smart meters.

We provide a complete cycle of not only data collection, but also its subsequent processing and analysis using Big Data. Despite the deferred fines for the lack of smart metering devices, they still need to be implemented. For example, when a meter breaks, it can only be replaced with an intelligent one, "commented Armen Avetisyan, Vice President for the Internet of Things and Industrial Automation at MTS.

The operation of the Energosbyt-Service system on the NB-IoT network ensures long-term and uninterrupted operation of equipment without external power supplies for up to 10 years. NB-IoT technology has improved radio signal penetration, which allows counters to be placed in places where the use of other data channels is difficult.

MTS also developed and launched a pilot operation platform to identify commercial losses in power grids. The software complex using Big Data technologies and artificial intelligence allows you to identify metering devices that transmit low readings. The self-learning model based on the data of the counters, where thefts were previously identified, identifies the characteristic signs and analyzes the information received from the ASKUE. Suspicious consumers are displayed on the map in an interface that is convenient for planning check team visits.
