A Korean SME specialized in developing the AMI total solution is preparing a project proposal under the EUREKA programme.

They are looking for a company or an institute which would like to collaborate in this project. The expression of interests will be received a month before the deadline of 17th of September.

Government agencies and utilities are turning toward AMI systems as part of larger “Smart Grid” initiatives. AMI extends current advanced meter reading technology by providing two way meter communications, allowing commands to be sent toward the households for multiple purposes, including “time-of-use” pricing information, demand-response actions, or remote service disconnects.
The company has 7600 household installation experience in Korea. With this installed system, the company is serving electric metering data based energy management service.
In addition, the company has experience supplying the AMI solution in Jamaica in 2013. Like this case, they would like to find a European company or an institute to jointly further develop this technology by adapting to the European standards. This further development will be proceeded via EUREKA project which the project due date is on 17th of September.
