Abstract This Technical Report identifies a functional reference architecture for communications relevant for smart metering systems and the standards relevant to meeting the technical / data communications requirements of Mandate M/441, in particular to assist the active participation of consumers in the energy markets. The architecture has been developed drawing on existing and planned implementations but its generic nature should enable it to support future different implementations.
