The Advanced Electricity Management System is designed to optimize revenue collection for local councils by effectively managing utility services. This state-of-the-art system allows councils to efficiently collect dues, ensure user compliance, and minimize risks of service disconnection. The system operates independently for both electricity and water, utilizing GSM and RF technology for swift installations and enhanced remote management. With capabilities to monitor pre-paid and metered services, the system promises significant cost savings for both consumers and councils, ultimately maximizing profitability and improving service reliability.

- Electricity Management System • To implement the “State of the Art” services management system to the local councils allowing them to: • efficiently collect all amounts due to them • ensure that the user pays • avoid damage and costly disconnection and reconnections • One system can be installed for both water and electricity, although they operate independently • Implementation is quick and efficient allowing maximum profits to accrue to the councils
- Electricity Management System • An electricity time-of-use system is linked to a local then regional digital switching system, utilising GSM and RF technology • This switching mechanism can then be disconnected or reconnected using a call centre. • The system is effective for both pre-paid and metered systems • The next slide will illustrate the exact method utilised
- Electricity Management System system communication links & architecture
- Electricity Management System • Competitors • This product will work in conjunction with all existing role- • players meters to everyone’s mutual advantage • Strengths • Cost savings to the consumer of up to 20%. • Cost savings to the council by more effective administration, collection and savings on infrastructure compared to existing systems. • Remote control of total system without having to visit the households or meters.
- Electricity Management System continued • Non payment management allowing automatic termination of services if account is not paid, plus remote reconnection. • Network supply control based on water demand balancing using location and engineering mapping to authorise time and quantity of supply dependant on regional requirements. • Weaknesses of the system • Lack of positive competition
- Electricity Management System • New GSM / RF technology being used • most cost effective method of monitoring • In line with new world leading technology • allows unlimited reporting and efficient management of users • The system allows the following: • Remote reading and communication • Remote activation and disconnection without personnel being “on-site” • Ability to maximise TIME OF USE • Eliminate fraudulent use of services
- Electricity Management System • DIGIPOWER are now ready to deliver product to the market against confirmed orders. • Detail of quantities are required with detailed roll out timings. • Cost of product is cheaper than conventional and or competitive systems, details upon request based on specific needs. • Simple installation, municipal workers with minimum training can install.

- Electricity Management System • BILLING • - To provide monthly meter readings in compatible electronic format to Billing Authorities • EXCEPTIONAL REPORTING • - To Local Authorities for management of supply systems
- Electricity Management System • CURRENT SYSTEM • - Physical meter readings on 1 to 3 monthly basis • Interpolation in interim months provides for inaccuracies • Inconsistent and unreliable exception reporting • DEFICIENCIES • Errors through inaccurate physical meter readings • Inaccessibility of meters • Ondue long response time in assessing inadequate meter readings
- Electricity Management System • RESULTS • Inadequate control over losses • Lack of faith in meter readings • Loss of income
- Electricity Management System • REDUCTION OF MANAGEMENT LOSSES • Electricity (Low income): 40% to 10% • (High income): 15% to 8% • (Industrial) : 8% to 5% • Water (General) : 25% to 10% • IMPROVED INCOME • IMPROVED CONTROL • Increase in faith by public of meter reading • Improved response time to problems
