This Canadian system operator works at the heart of Ontario, Canada’s power system – ensuring there is enough power to meet the province’s energy needs in real time. Its Smart Meter solution operates the smart meter data processing service (MDM/R) for 70 distribution systems operators and the 14.5 million people in Ontario.
The challenge
This system operator was faced with a large database of smart meter data (over 250 billion meter reads and growing at over 100 million per day) and variety of data retrieval and analytics requests. The existing transaction system and its relational database system were not originally designed to handle these increased requirements.
Why KX?
The system operator needed a technology that could handle large volumes of time series smart meter data efficiently and at the lowest total cost.
After conducting market research, evaluations and proof of concept testing, the system provider found that KX delivered very high levels of performance at the lowest total cost of ownership. The testing of technologies involved simulated data representing 260 billion meter reads for five million meters and over five years.
