OSIsoft MDUS provides infrastructure for meter data collection, management and synchronization with SAP for Utilities San Leandro, CA – July 20, 2010 – OSIsoft, LLC (
www.osisoft.com), the leader in real-time data infrastructure solutions, today announced it has been selected as the meter data unification and synchronization system (MDUS) for AGL Energy Limited (AGL).
AGL is Australia’s largest integrated renewable energy company with a wide range of renewable generation, serving more than three million customer accounts. In 2006, the Victorian Government mandated the deployment of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) for all customers consuming less than 160 Megawatt Hours of electricity per year, meaning by the end of 2013 approximately 3.5 million AMI meters will be deployed across this service territory. To meet the requirements, AGL’s retail business recognized the need to efficiently manage the increased meter data requirements and ensure high performance integration with its core SAP retail customer information systems.
OSIsoft, LLC will deliver the real-time infrastructure for AGL’s advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). The OSIsoft MDUS product will provide the data capture and historical repository for meter data and the integration with SAP for Utilities.
OSIsoft was selected based on a history of delivering scalable technology, the flexibility of the PI System infrastructure, and its SAP partnership. AGL plans to go live with OSIsoft MDUS in September 2011, and the system could grow to 5 million meters by 2014 as new service territories deploy AMI meters.
“OSIsoft MDUS is a good choice due to the organization’s demonstrated capability in managing large volumes of real-time data in other industries, and a number of significantly larger international energy companies have made similar decisions,” said Owen Coppage, CIO, AGL.
“OSIsoft has been a leader in providing real-time infrastructure for the smart grid,” said Ron Kolz, senior vice president of Sales & Business Development of OSIsoft. “The OSIsoft MDUS product uses OSIsoft technology to provide a robust infrastructure for meter data collection and integration with the SAP back office functions.”
