4 – Remote reading of personally identifiable and billing-related measurement data from the property’s “
” submetering system

The submetering service provider collects measurement data from the installed submeters (thermal energy meters, hot water meters, cold water meters) and heat cost allocators at a single property. The recorded meter readings relevant for billing must be made available to the authorized party via iMSys for billing purposes. Through remote reading of submeters in the submetering area, consumption data can be collected efficiently and accurately and transmitted securely via the SMGW. This efficiently combines the billing process with the reading of main meters via the SMGW and also enhances the legally required transparency of consumption for the connection user or subscriber, as well as data protection.

5 – Remote reading of personally identifiable and billing-related measurement data from the main measurement system at
for various service categories (multi-service metering)

The metering point operator collects, either periodically or as needed via the SMGW, the billing-relevant meter readings from the modern metering devices (main meters) for utilities (electricity, gas, drinking water, district heating/cooling) through which the building or unit is connected to the upstream distribution network, and transmits this measurement data to authorized market participants. The end consumer is provided with consumption data for all utility categories. The metering point operator or supplier can remotely read all utility meters simultaneously via the SMGW or the extended iMSys, either on a regular basis (e.g., annual reading) or on an ad hoc basis (change of owner, user, or supplier). In addition to meter readings, time series data from modern metering devices can be provided to increase awareness—for example, regarding energy consumption—or to enable dynamic pricing. This eliminates the costs associated with the previously required on-site meter readings for gas, drinking water, and district heating/cooling. Consumer transparency is ensured for end users across all utility sectors.

14 – Provision of Data for Energy Monitoring and Value-Added Services for Electricity

By enabling the metering point operator to collect and transmit high-frequency measurement values via the iMSys, authorized market participants can offer value-added services to connection users by monitoring and processing consumption data—and, in the future, generation data as well— in order to offer services such as energy consumption optimization. The end consumer must consent to the transmission of the data if they are interested in the service. As a basic application, the end consumer should be offered energy monitoring of consumption data locally and, optionally, via a web portal. This EAF builds upon TAF 14 and enables its future expansion. This may apply both to data on total consumption at the grid connection point and to data on the consumption of individual consumption units, to the extent that such data is available. Monitoring supports the energy transition by providing consumption transparency as the basis for more conscious—and thus more economical—energy use. According to the definition in the MsbG, value-added services are services unrelated to energy supply.

17 – Remote Meter Reading (RLM) for Electricity

Using iMSys as a load profile measurement system, the metering point operator records all billing-relevant meter readings from the digital electricity meter at the grid connection point, through which the building or unit is connected to the upstream distribution network, and transmits this measurement data to authorized market participants, such as suppliers, grid operators, and direct marketers. To ensure traceability and transparency of the measurements, as well as energy consumption optimization (local EMS), the iMSys provides the end consumer with the collected measurement values. Due to the measurement of high consumption levels associated with high energy costs, particularly stringent requirements are placed on the reliability and uninterrupted availability of the measurement values. Load profiles are securely recorded and transmitted and can thus be made transparently available to all authorized EMTs. The end user has full transparency into consumption and can use the data

18 – Remote Meter Reading (RLM) for Gas

Using iMSys for load profile measurement, the metering point operator records all billing-relevant meter readings from the digital RLM gas meter at the network connection point—where the building or unit is connected to the gas grid—and transmits this measurement data to authorized market participants. Depending on the use case, additional values (K-factor, gas quality, etc.) are fed into the meter. The end consumer can also view the consumption data, and this data can be transferred to a local EMS via interfaces.
