About this file

This document is an attachment outlining the system requirements for an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) solution sought by the Department of Energy Office of Science for the NREL-ARIES Controller Hardware in The Loop (CHIL) project.

The key requirements include:

  • Core meter capabilities such as near real-time monitoring of voltage, energy consumption, on-demand reads, meter status pings, and automated notifications of inadequate voltage or power quality issues
  • Flexible operation where each meter can function as a controller and operate without external power
  • Integration with digital twin models, requiring wired/wireless communication, TCP/IP protocol, and configuration to represent individual customer loads
  • Seamless integration with existing connector types, communication protocols, and configurable/modular design to allow for future upgrades and new hardware integration

This solicitation seeks to identify capable companies to provide this AMI solution to enable rapid prototyping and technology validation related to advanced metering and smart meter technology at NREL-ARIES and its industry collaborators.
