Smart metering systems should be based on a future proof architecture that is able to adopt new technologies and protocols.

Smart metering systems should be based on a future proof architecture that is able to adopt new technologies and protocols, but even more importantly, integrate with other utility applications including electric vehicle charging, energy storage, load control, photovoltaics, consumer generation, SCADA, etc.
Every utility has or will eventually have a smart metering system, which will most likely include various meter generations and technologies.
This whitepaper assesses the best way to manage smart metering systems with a focus on the head-end system (HES) and its integration into the smart meter value chain.
