Smart meter asset management through the use of data

Workshop Leader: John Cowburn, Owner/Director,

Smart Energy Networks

HALF-DAY POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPWednesday 22nd June 2016

08.30 – 12.30Holiday Inn Kensington Forum, London, UK

Overview of workshop:Smart Meters are provided with a communications channel that will assist asset owners with their management of them. The smart meter is far more complex than previous generations; the physical asset has become a platform on which to run fi rmware applications. How will this be controlled by the asset owner? Should the asset owner be concerned? The data from the meters can be used to monitor asset life – will the owner have access to that data and if so – how?

Why should you attend this workshop?• The need to monitor assets under the MID

is a legal requirement• Data from smart meters can assist in asset

management • Asset owners should be aware of what data

is available and how they can use it• Control of metering fi rmware may be of concern

Programme:

08.30 Opening remarks

09.00 Session 1 – What are the legal obligations under MID?

09.10 Session 2 – What data is available to assist in in-service testing?

09.50 Coffee break

10.30 Session 3 – Data ownership: Who has access to what?

11.00 Session 4 – Control of smart meter confi guration and fi rmware

11.40 Closing remarks

12.30 End of workshop
