Backhaul communications description | “Head end” software installed on SRP computers which serves as the Elster Energy/Axis Meter Automation System. This system delivers the data to SRP and makes it available for operational and customer applications. This software can also broadcast information, such as critical peak pricing or network upgrades, from SRP out to the collectors, meters, and customer residences. General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Communication. The SmartSynch GPRS collector meter retrieves data and events in accordance with the ANSI C12.19 standard. The GPRS secure wireless communication provides for overall network scalability. SRP was the first company to adopt the Elster mesh technology and will be the first to widely deploy the SmartSynch GPRS wireless collector as part of the Sparse Communication Network (SCN) deployment. Interoperability with Various WAN Networks. EnergyAxis is agnostic to SRP’s Wide Area Network (WAN). The collector can be equipped with a serial RS232 connection or an integrated Ethernet card. These two options facilitate easy migration to future IP networks and minimize technological obsolescence. | $0 |
Meter communications network | Radio Frequency Mesh Network. EnergyAxis provides a “mesh” communication network between smart meters and strategically located collector meters. The technology has proven to be robust with intelligence distributed throughout the mesh. Smart meters or end devices self-register to a collector meter upon installation. The network of meters self-optimizes to find the best communication pathway resulting in the most stable network configuration. The network reconfigures itself by reestablishing communication paths when an unexpected failure occurs, such as a damaged collector. | |
Head end server | The EnergyAxis “head end” business management system serves as the central point of metering data aggregation, formatting, and handoff to other utility systems. This system brings the consumer usage data and operational grid data from the WAN network into the utility. The “head end” business system will interface with the MDMS. | $15,413,474 |
Meter data analysis system | MV90 xi is software that collects and processes interval data. The software is capable of collecting interval data from multi-vendors including over 150 metering devices. MV90 has the functionality to collect data by remote interrogation via phone lines, uploading of handheld devices, hhf file imports and TCP/IP. The software provides validation parameters to define the criteria used to verify the accuracy of the retrieved load profile data and allows for estimating and editing of the data. | |

* In some circumstances, costs are incurred before devices are installed resulting in a reported cost where the quantity is zero.
* All dollar figures are the total cost, which is the sum of the federal investment and cost share of the recipient (the recipient cost share must be at least 50% of the total overall project cost).
** In some cases the number of entities reporting is greater than the total number of projects funded by the Recovery Act because some projects have multiple sub-projects that report data. View list of sub-projects.
