Meter Data Management (MDM)

ConEdison’s Meter Data Management System (MDMS) provides accurate billing of complex tariffs, greater operational efficiencies, and has improved service to ConEdison customers. Leveraging Siemens' Gridscale X Meter Data Management software, ConEdison is one of the first energy providers in the United States capable of recording and processing electric power meter data in near real-time, providing faster identification and response times for outages and critical safety alerts, including natural gas detection alerts.

Customer Information System (CIS)

As part of the MDMS work, Siemens Advanta supported the migration of ConEdison’s legacy customer system to an advanced CIS system. The project provided a single, unified solution that supports billing capabilities and customer care operations.

High Pressure Fluid Filled (HPFF) Transmissions

In this pilot program, Siemens Advanta provided ConEdison with a data driven solution to help detect leaks earlier and more accurately than the current methodology. The custom AI model, developed specifically for ConEdison, is a first of its kind utility leak detection approach. Leveraging data from past leaks to train the AI model, the system provided ConEdison with timely insight that a leak occurred.

Manhole Monitoring Program

ConEdison recently completed a pilot program supporting its Underground Distribution System assets. Specifically, the effort was a collaboration to enhance safety to the public walking the streets of NYC, where there are ~ 280,000 manholes, reducing the number of false positive alarms, improving safety, and reducing costs.
