18into account the real conditions of the utility networks so as to allow for full implementation.The project will result in a set of draft standards based on existing and accepted standardswherever possible. These standards include the IEC 61334 series of PLC standards, the IEC62056 DLMS/COSEM standards for electricity metering, and the EN 13757 series ofstandards for utility metering using M-Bus and other media. These existing standards will becomplemented with new standards based on innovative solutions developed within theproject to form the new body of AMI/smart metering standards. The resulting draft standardswill be submitted to the European and international standardization process.Objectivesn To address the regulatory issues concerning AMI/smart metering in various Europeancountries and identify the requirements of the various stakeholdersn To review the state of the art of the various technologies available, including protocols forwired, power line carrier and wireless communication media, as well as application datamodels and system architecturesn To carry out the necessary research and development activities to ensure that therequirements of AMI/smart metering can be met in a cost effective mannern To develop test approaches and procedures for laboratory, compliance and field tests.Actual tests will be carried out on newly developed system elementsn To consolidate the results of the previous items and provide a formal specification of thestandard. The results will be submitted to the relevant European and internationalstandardization bodiesn To specify how the results of the project will be used and disseminated to allstakeholders, utilities, manufacturers, energy market participants and end usersProject coordinatorn Iberdrola, SpainProject partnersn 18 partners from 8 countries (including KEMA)Project detailsn EU Seventh Framework Programn Duration: January 2010 – July 2013
