Abstract: A utility application store may be configured to present an interface displaying multiple applications that are available from the utility application store. By accessing the interface of the utility application store, a utility supplier may, with a single request, initiate installation or activation of an application on multiple utility meters or other smart sensors in a utility communication network. The utility application store may be configured to provide notification of the availability of applications for utility meters or other smart sensors, consumer computing devices, and/or utility supplier back office computing devices. The utility application store may include one or more distributed applications that include a first portion configured for execution by a utility meter and one or more other portions configured for execution by another computing device (e.g., a personal computer, mobile device, utility supplier back office server, cloud service, or the like).

Abstract: Techniques for analyzing a utility infrastructure are described herein. In one example, data is obtained from a utility system. The data may include consumption measurement information, consumption measurement exceptions and/or system events. Exceptions may include data indicating a possible problem, such as significantly increased or decreased consumption, reduced voltage, etc. Events may include data on power down actions, meter removal, etc. Attributes may be considered, including demographic information, weather information, economic information, etc. The data may be filtered by comparison to known patterns of measurements, exceptions, events and/or attributers that indicate an analytic event. Accordingly, analytic events may include important system information that is inferred from large quantities of data. Analytic events may be reported to an operator through operation of a user interface.

Abstract: An automated method and system for use during manual data collection, such as utility data collection, compares collected data with additional data to determine if the collected data deviates from an expected value, which may indicate a tamper, theft, leak, malfunction, etc. The method may provide one or more notifications or in-field investigation instructions in response thereto.

Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying restored outages are described. In some examples, the system samples endpoints to determine an extent of a restoration. The system may compare positive indications received by endpoints to a list of endpoints that indicate utility outages, and provide guidance to a field worker based on the comparison.

Abstract: A method and system for reading endpoints used for tracking consumption of a utility may allow the sequencing of meters/endpoints in a meter reading route, such as a mobile automatic meter reading route. The sequencing may include receiving an indication of a collection of endpoints comprising a meter reading route, wherein each endpoint stores utility consumption data, then executing the meter reading route. Executing the meter reading route may include identifying and reading a first endpoint on the meter reading route, receiving input used in identifying a next endpoint to be read on the meter reading route, identifying a next endpoint to be read on the meter reading route based on the received input, and reading the identified next endpoint. One or more of these tasks may be performed repeatedly until all the endpoints on the meter reading route are read or otherwise acknowledged as unreadable, etc.
