METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZED MONITORING AND IDENTIFICATION OF ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE DEVICE COMMUNICATION FAILURES

A method for optimized monitoring and identification of AMI device communication failures in an AMI network is provided. A graphical representation of AMI devices is generated comprising nodes corresponding to AMI devices and links representing connectivity between AMI devices. The graphical representation is generated based on data associated with AMI devices retrieved via AMI network in real time. Further, properties of the AMI devices are computed using the graphical representation based on values associated with the nodes corresponding to the AMI devices. The graphical representation is modified based on the computed properties and predefined rules. Nodes in the modified graphical representation are selected and processed in an order based on AMI device hierarchy, priority and criticality. Further, the graphical representation is modified based on processing of selected nodes. AMI device with communication failures are identified from at least one of the generated and modified graphical representation of AMI devices.
