Ever since entering into the new Millennium, Smart Grid has been greatly valued globally, especially by the well-developed countries and emerging economies, as a major approach to cope with climate changes and enhance energy efficiency. In Europe, European Union has defined Smart Grid Program as the core of its Energy Saving initiative and promotes Smart Meter and AMI solution in parallel.
With the huge market potential, Smart Metering Solutions (Changsha) Co., Ltd. (SMSC), has won a few Head-End System (HES) projects in Austria. In these projects, SMSC offers self-developed HES UDIS (Universal Device Integration System) to multiple electric power utilities in Austria as part of the total Siemens E2E AMI solution.
