Abstract
An advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) portal system and method for coordinating access to meter data within an AMI data repository. The advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) portal system includes a data repository, a first portal, and a second portal. The data repository is configured to store data related to a plurality of devices within an AMI. The first portal includes a device list. The device list includes a list of at least one of the plurality of devices associated with an organization. The performance portal is configured to retrieve the device list from the first portal, and further configured to request meter kpi data for the at least one of the plurality of devices in the device list from the data repository.
Claims20
A method for coordinating access to meter data for a plurality of metering devices within a metering system, wherein the plurality of metering devices are connected to and communicate via a communications network, the meter data being stored in a data repository, the method comprising:
- associating, within the data repository, a first portal with an organization;
- receiving, by the first portal via a user interface, a device list including a list of at least one of the plurality of devices, each of the at least one of the plurality of devices being associated with the organization;
- requesting, by the first portal in response to a request received via a user interface of the portal, meter data from the data repository for the at least one of the plurality of devices in the device list;
- requesting, by the first portal, a key performance indicator (KPI) from a performance portal, wherein the performance portal accesses the KPI for the at least one of the plurality of devices in the device list from the data repository;
- and
- receiving, by the first portal, the KPI from the performance portal.
(canceled)
A portal system for accessing meter data for a plurality of devices within an operations center, the meter data being stored within a data repository, the system comprising:
- a performance portal;
- and
- a first portal comprising a device list, the device list including a list of at least one of the plurality of devices, each of the at least one of the plurality of devices being associated with an organization, the first portal configured to request a key performance indicator (KPI) from the performance portal,
- wherein the performance portal is configured to (i) receive the request for the key performance indicator (KPI) from the first portal, (ii) access the KPI associated with the at least one of the plurality of devices stored in the data repository, and (iii) send the KPI to the first portal.
A metering system comprising:
- a plurality of metering devices;
- a data repository configured to store data related to the plurality of metering devices;
- and
- a portal system comprising:
- a performance portal;
- and
- a first portal comprising a device list, the device list including a list of at least one of the plurality of devices, each of the at least one of the plurality of devices being associated with an organization, the first portal configured to request a key performance indicator (KPI) from the performance portal,
- wherein the performance portal is configured to request the KPI for the at least one of the plurality of devices in the device list from the data repository, and further configured to send the KPI to the first portal.
