Genus will provide the national market with residential single- and three-phase smart meters, which can collect meter readings in near real-time within the country’s complex heterogeneous network infrastructure.
Specifically, Genus meters will support the most advanced smartgrid applications, including encrypted communication of customer data, load management, peak shaving, and real-time energy theft detection.
Genus marketing and Business Development VP JK Agarwal said, ”We made our choice for integration based on the field performance of Corinex AMI SmartGrid BPL network installed in Smart City Puducherry.”
Corinex Marketing SVP John Evora said, ”The plan is to bring the Genus BPL enabled meter, with BPL infrastructure supporting up to 40 Mbps speed, to the Indian market within 3 months.”
Designed to connect to a Corinex SmartGrid Powerline Concentrator embedded with smartgrid functionalities, the new meters are expected to enable simultaneous BPL and PRIME/G3 communications on SmartGrid using DLMS/COSEM and/or ANSI communication standards to maximize device interoperability.
Capable of facilitating integration of other powerline technologies in future, the meter supports a broad portfolio of MDM systems, thereby reducing infrastructure costs for Indian utilities and enhances energy management to avoid costly power outages, without additional investments to power generation assets.
