DLMS UA is excited to announce the release of the AC Electricity Smart Meter (ACESM) Generic Companion Profile (GCP), the latest milestone in our mission to enhance interoperability within the smart metering ecosystem. This new profile is a testament to our ongoing commitment to compatibility and standardization across the energy sector.
The ACESM GCP is specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of the AC electricity smart meter market. It defines 21 essential use cases, ensuring that devices adhere to the minimum functional expectations while allowing for future enhancements. By acting as a standardized guideline, this profile promotes seamless data exchange between smart meters and headend systems, irrespective of the manufacturer, thereby fostering a globally interoperable metering ecosystem.
Key benefits of the ACESM GCP include:
- Device Exchangeability: Enables seamless device exchange from various manufacturers and facilitates data exchange across different systems.
- Communication Agnosticism: Supports all communication technologies, including wired/wireless, PLC, mobile, and both public and private networks.
- Multi-market Versatility: Adaptable to diverse regional and market-specific requirements, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
- Accelerated Market Entry: Shortens time to market and reduces research and development costs for smart meter manufacturers.
By providing these capabilities, the ACESM GCP guarantees a foundational set of use cases demanded by the electricity smart meter market, ensuring a comprehensive, future-proof solution for stakeholders.
The release of the ACESM GCP underscores DLMS UA’s dedication to fostering innovation and advancing standardization within the energy sector. This initiative will not only enhance life-cycle cost management and maintenance efficiency for smart metering infrastructures but also ensure that new generations of AC electricity smart meters can seamlessly replace older models, facilitating smooth transitions across utilities.
