The Telemetering
System is oriented to Power Providers (Electricity, Water
and Gas) that seek increases in competitiveness in the use
of new electronics and information technologies when facing
a sector in deregulation.
Telemetering System of Electricity, Water and Gas in "low-voltage"
customers. First initiatives took place in 1991, showing that
it is possible to communicate via "low voltage"
network (PLC - Power Line Carrier). In 1998 the project National
Telemetering was started, which sought to develop a system
of Electrical Power Telemetering for EDP (the main energy
provider in the Portuguese market). Another project PEDIP,
extending the concept of remote management of Energy to the
Water and Gas fields, was launched in nearly the same time.

Pilot
installation of remote management of Energy, unique in Europe
to join metering of Electricity, Water and Gas in the same
system.
The Telemetering System, innovative in several technological
aspects, presents as main assets a group of functional requirements
defined by the National Operators, incorporating in the system
the operation and exploitation knowledge of the Portuguese
companies EDP (Electricity), EPAL (Water) and GDP (Gas).
