Traditional billing continues to be a vital

component of today’s solid state meters,

but they are also now a vital part of your grid

operation. We’ve leveraged the strength

and knowledge of GE Digital Energy around

distribution automation, volt-var control,

demand optimization, and distributed generation

to develop a line of metering products that are

designed to integrate and provide the critical

information needed to optimize all of these grid

operation solutions. As GE continues to build on

its Smart Grid solutions, you can count on GE

Digital Energy and our new metering products to

include innovative and unique capabilities you

never thought possible.

In this dynamic time of regulatory scrutiny and customer engagement,

you can be assured of the product and the company behind the product.

We have ANSI and ISO certified labs to ensure that our product design

and manufacturing processes yield a robust product every time.

Our testing procedures go well beyond the ANSI and IEC requirements

for which we design to, including some of the most aggressive internal

standards in the market place today. We now have included world-

class Radio Frequency (RF) communications expertise to ensure that

our meter products are hardened to withstand even the harshest of RF

environments without sacrificing the quality or integrity of the metrology

or the communications technology.

Accurate & Dependable

Typically measured at +/- 0.2%, the GE I-210 family of meters provides

best-in-class capabilities for accuracy. Combined with the low starting

watts, the utility can have confidence in the metered value and measured

electricity usage.

Integrity of Supply

Having a partner that can provide assurance in supply is critical

when a utility begins a mass deployment of meters. GE’s process

focus and rigor around supply chain excellence minimizes the risk

to the utility, giving them confidence to manage installation crews

and provide accurate scheduling to customers.

Broad Communications Support

The I-210 family has been designed to allow for the

interchangeability of AMR/AMI modules and cover the broadest

range of possible AMI communication technologies including RF

Mesh, Cellular, Power Line and Ethernet. Modules can be added at

the GE factory, after the fact, or replaced with another compatible

module if the meter is redeployed.

Response

One of the most compelling benets of the Smart Grid is the promise of delivering demand

management or load control. Utilities will save energy, lower costs, and defer additional

transmission and generation expenses with the ability to shave peak load, shape load and

curtail load to mitigate grid events. Additionally, consumers will be able to conserve energy

and shift energy use to benet from time of use or time based rate structures. Various

studies have shown that these actions can generate customer savings from 5% to 15% of

their monthly electricity use.

GE, through our Digital Energy and Appliance businesses, is continuing to work on integrated

solutions for electricity metering and smart appliances in the home. This is an exciting time

for our business as we pioneer a new generation of electricity smart meters and smart

appliances that work seamlessly together to deliver energy savings never thought possible.

GE’s most advanced residential electricity metering product line, the

I-210+c, delivers Smart Grid capability for today and the future. Derived

from our industry leading commercial and industrial product line, the

kV2c, the I-210+c benets from our advanced metrology capability and

lessons learned from over 10 years of solid state metering design. All the

way down to the advanced microprocessor, the I-210+c contains much

of the advanced polyphase functionality that GE has been known for.

We have also added capability that makes the I-210+c the referenced

residential product line in the industry.

Capability

Designed for today’s dynamic rate structures, the I-210+c provides

capability for demand, load prole, and TOU recording, along with a

number of other power quality and demand response related functions.

GE’s innovative MeterMate software suite enables meter administrators to easily

congure and manage GE meters. Each software component in the MeterMate

suite is optimized to address the dierent aspects of a meter’s lifecycle. MeterMate

program creation software enables the user to eortlessly congure the meter’s basic

and advanced functionality, ranging from creating a simple demand program and

setting up the meter display to conguring the meter’s I/O and alerts. With MeterMate

reading and programming software, a user can read, program and perform real-time

instrumentation and power quality monitoring on a meter, via a variety of dierent

communication methods such as local OPTOCOM, remote telephone, RS-232/485 and

IP communications.

The suite also provides the MeterMate Batch Control, MeterMate Load Prole (MMLp) and MeterMate XTR utilities. MeterMate Batch Control enables

the user to automate remote meter reading. MeterMate Load Prole (MMLp) provides analysis of load prole data and MeterMate XTR supports the

export of meter data to the MV-90 HHF format.

At GE, we’ve leveraged our expertise to ensure you get the most out of your investment in GE products and

solutions. The capability available in the GE Smart Meter’s provide for data that can be used to optimize

a number of utility operational systems outside of traditional billing. These integrated solutions include:

• Outage events and alarms integrated into PowerOnTM, GE’s Outage Management Solution

• Voltage and Var data, provided in real-time, to enhance distribution automation solutions for

Conservation Voltage or Integrated Volt/Var Coordination

• Integration with GE’s GridIQTM Demand Optimization Solution for coordinated load control and

demand response for surgical implementation of load shedding and load deferral

The strength of metering products come from our broad knowledge of electrical utilities and their

operational systems. We will continue to provide metering products that build on this knowledge and

provide dierentiated value for both the utilities and the consumer.
