As the electric utility industry enters a new era of AI-powered smart meters where the benefits of an interconnected, customer-centric grid can be fully realized, utilities must marry intelligent, AI-enabled software with utility-grade hardware. In this session, speakers will share details about the recent Revelo meter rollout in New York. They’ll share information about the value of embedding AI and distributed computing software into meters to improve efficiency, enhance reliability and security, and support demand response. The discussion will also reveal how the next era of grid edge/AMI 2.0 technology, partly driven by AI, will be different from AMI 1.0. This interactive session will include audience participation by encouraging individuals to share their views of and experiences with AMI 2.0 and AI-driven technologies.
