Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for providing an identification of individual smart meters among a plurality of smart meters communicably coupled in a networked grid area based on a unique identification number stored in the memory of the smart meter is provided. The method includes calculating a first value corresponding to the unique identification number, receiving a query message including a second value corresponding to the unique identification number of one of the plurality of smart meters and determining if the first value matches the second value. The method further includes sending a response message including the unique identification number if the first value matches the second value. The method may further include assigning logical identification numbers to each of the smart meters.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for providing an identification of individual smart meters among a plurality of smart meters communicably coupled in a networked grid area, each smart meter in the grid area having a memory, a unique identification number stored in the memory, a processor, and a communications interface, the memory including instructions for execution by the processor for performing the method, the method comprising: calculating, by the processor, a first value corr…
