Abstract
An advanced metering infrastructure comprises intermediate nodes. The intermediate nodes receive data from child nodes and aggregate the data according to groups of child nodes. The aggregation provides for a reduced version of the data. The reduction is performed based on groups determined by clustering. The reduced version of the data comprises data describing a group of measurements over time, such as a centroid in an n-dimension space, number of customers in the group, radius of the group and the like. The centroid may shift over time based on a consumption profile, such as low consumption at noon, and high consumption at evening. The consumption profiles may be determined in a learning phase, as well as shifting of centroids of each group over time.
