AMR and Energy Management
Yitran's
transceiver IC’s allows utility companies to further
utilize the existing
outdoor electrical grid.
Using the power line
grid, running from the electrical meter to the local transformer,
electrical utilities can utilize their traditional presence in this medium
and use this infrastructure for applications such as AMR (Automatic Meter
Reading), load control, energy consumption monitoring and management, etc’.
Utility companies
worldwide demand for remote meter reading brought Yitran to overcome the
challenge of developing the utmost leading technology for collecting the
information from the meters on the power line.
In such systems a
concentrator is placed near the neighborhood transformer, which collects
the data from the electricity meters located in the houses connected to
this transformer. Thedata is then transferred from the concentrator to the
central office usingthe mid-voltage power grid, a telephone, a wireless
link or a fiber media.The system is also used for additional value added
services like energymanagement and flexible tariffs.
Yitran’s
technology enables 100% connectivity evenwith the farthest units.
