In order to solve the Company’s tasks associated with sales of services and electricity metering, the capabilities of the Power Transmission Metering System (PMTS) were expanded in terms of:

• The electricity balancing at all grid levels and the analysis of imbalances and excessive electricity losses
• Automated circulation of certificates of limitation and resumption of electricity consumption
• Maintenance of information and monitoring for the metering points for which there is no information on any power supply agreement concluded
• Automated search for discrepancies in electricity consumption by metering point, during reconciliation checks with power supply companies

To provide the functions of smart electricity (capacity) metering systems, the following configurations were initiated:

• Integration flows in terms of the transmission of meter readings and power profiles to PMTS, from the Pyramida-Seti software
• Integration flows from the PMTS to the Unified Customer Relationship Platform of the Rosseti Group
