MDM (Meter Data Management)

What is the MDM?

Shahab Meter data management (MDM) system is an enterprise-level and high-performance software system which gets raw meters data from AMI meters and runs different types of analysis and processes on data and provides useful reports. Usually, billing, CRM, and similar systems receive their input from MDM. It is core data processing software in the master station of utilities.
Connection of MDM to other software systems can be made via web services (either the web services or RESSTFUL) and the protocol can be chosen out of available dozens. One of the widely accepted and welcomed protocols for this purpose is CIM which is based on the open standard protocol of IEC61968/IEC61970 which is developed to connect software systems of utilities. Furthermore, state-of-the-art standards can be used too.
Shahab MDM integrates both AHE and MDM all in one. AHE or HES manages and controls all bidirectional communications between meters and Shahab. The AHE modules include on-demand reading, historical reading, time synchronization, task management, tariff management, relay control (connect and disconnect the relay), control commands, firmware upgrades, meter LCD display settings, etc. It is also possible to work with AHE or MDM as a stand-alone solution and then gradually accomplish full end-to-end processes through integration with other systems. The system can consequently grow in functionality with the technical, commercial, and procedural requirements of the clients.
Following the Faham national standard, BSTC has developed an advanced measuring infrastructure (AMI) by producing and installing smart and semi-smart meters in different parts of Iran. Over the past decade, we have made “viewable” and “controllable” more than half of the country’s electricity network remotely by designing and providing various powerful software products and platforms.
Shahab MDM assists power utilities to provide real-time and scheduled access to all smart meters as network measurement points, detecting the consumption of customers, events that occur continuously in the network, power quality of the network, etc.
