IEC AMI - Project Background
• Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) decided to implement Smart Metering• Why smart metering?
Billing & Collection Customer service Improvement Demand Respond – peak shaving and production planning
• Deployment in few stages First stage : 8.5K Industrial customers
(the largest AMI project in Israel) Next stages: extend to 30K – 50K C&I

ROI for AMI Project
•8,500 meters - 53% of total revenues
•Large customers billing - ~250K $US per month
•Project cost per year - 500 K $US
• 2 faulty meter reading per month = AMI project cost per year
• Customer service Improvement• Demand Respond – peak shaving and production planning
• Objectives: Meter reading & management by either Web2MTM system users
or third party servers Monitoring and control of the communication infrastructure
• Main Larotec’s system components: Interface & Communication Units (ICU) interfaced to the meters Communication Server – management of meter reading, communication
and asset management
• The Web2MTM is integrated with additional system components: Metering server: Reads the meters via the ICU Radius Server: Responsible for the network IP assignment GIS Server: displaying end device (ICU + meter) location and
status on maps

Web2MTM – Consumption Reports
Web2MTM – Readings of Current value (1st phase)
Web2MTM – Readings of Power Factor value
Multiple operating modes
• Transparent mode: “Transparent Bridge” between 3rd party Metering Server and the system
• Listening mode: ICU waits for requests from the metering or communication
servers while still performing its regular procedures
• Command mode: FOTA (firmware over the air)Data on DemandConfiguration update
Additional features for IEC project
• Communication Management Monitoring:
Cell ID: tracking the active cell serving the ICU Rx level: tracking level of GPRS Radio Frequency signal reception
Commands: Get Data Now: enabling data acquisition at any required time Activation: remotely enable/disable meter reading services Communication parameters: Configure parameters on the fly
from remote location Remote s/w update
• Templates: pre-defined profile assigned to any hierarchical group via the communication server
Project Status - 2012
• 6,850 installations
• Deployment – Nation Wide since 2010
• Meter Reading success – 99.7%
• Data Collection Interval – 2 times per day
• Meter Reading Interval – 15 min
