Guidehouse Insights Explores Multi-Pronged Benefit Streams Of Next-Generation Advanced Metering Infrastructure

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) Powered by real-time intelligence and open analytics ecosystems, next-generation AMI
represents a paradigm shift towards true edge computing

BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report from Guidehouse Insights
discusses the value proposition of next-generation advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) in the context of energy efficiency, smart home optimization, grid management, and more.

Utilities have been deploying AMI for over two decades. The first generation of AMI helped resolve archaic inefficiencies while supporting a variety of grid- and consumer-oriented analytics use cases. According to Guidehouse Insights, as first-generation AMI deployments reach the end of their useful lifespans, energy companies are increasingly opting for next-generation AMI to unlock real-time insights and insight-the-meter intelligence to the benefit of utilities and customers alike.

"In the same way that smartphones rapidly overtook early cell phones, next-generation AMI represents a logical, revolutionary, and future-proofed edge computing solution," says Michael Kelly, principal research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. "The combination of real-time data sampling, waveform data capture, and open ecosystems of software partners promises to unlock and enhance a myriad of analytics use cases – from distributed energy resource (DER) detection and smart home optimization to location awareness and grid fault detection, amongst many others."

Guidehouse Insights recommends replacing first-generation smart meters with next-generation AMI, enabling seamless interoperability between smart home platforms and AMI devices, and ensuring data security, privacy, and integrity from hardware and software vendors, according to the report.

The report, Next-Generation AMI Redefines Energy and Situational Awareness for Utilities , discusses the value proposition of next-generation AMI in the context of energy efficiency, smart home optimization, grid management, etc.,
and provides recommendations for utilities, customers, vendors, and other relevant stakeholders. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website .
