Abstract :
Integrating securely decentralized sources on the grid while keeping it safe, reliable and stable is a real challenge for grid operators. That is why advanced metering infrastructures are the solution for integrating decentralized generation securely. Indeed, AMI enables us to know exactly the quantity of energy transiting at all points and at all times on the grid, and to have a reactive management of the grid when faced with integrating widespread and highly unpredictable energy sources.
