The development history of energy meters as devices for measuring electrical energy consumption can be traced back to the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. On May 20, 1875, seventeen countries signed the famous “Metric Convention” in Paris, France. This was an agreement by the government to adopt the International System of Units and ensure consistent measurement results globally. It played a significant role in ensuring the unity of international measurement standards, promoting international trade, and accelerating technological development. Therefore, the International Metrology Congress has designated May 20th as “World Metrology Day”. 1. Early energy meter. In 1880, Thomas Edison from the United States successfully developed the world’s first direct current energy meter, known as the ampere-hour meter, by applying the principle of electrolysis. The discovery and application of alternating current in 1885 led to new demands for the development of energy meters. As a result, alternating current energy meters were created. In 1889, the first induction-type energy meter was introduced. A German named Bült created the world’s first electromagnetic induction energy meter,which weighed a total of 36 kilograms. 5 kg for a Hungarian company named Ganz. However, it was very large in size and weighed 36 pounds. 5 kilograms. 2. Induction-type energy meters. With the discovery and application of alternating current, the volume and weight of induction-type energy meters suitable for alternating current have been continuously reduced due to technological and processing advancements. This type of energy meter has several advantages, including a simple structure, safe operation, low cost, durability, easy maintenance, and mass production. Therefore, it has experienced rapid growth. 3. Electromechanical energy meters At the end of the 20th century, people proposed multiple requirements for energy meters, such as multiple functionalities, high accuracy, ease of use, and communication interfaces. In response to these requirements, scientists have designed long-lasting electromechanical integrated energy meters based on inductiontype energy meters. They have also incorporated electronic circuits to enhance their functionality. 4. Electronical energy meters At the end of the 1960s, Japan invented a fully electronic energy-measuring device and produced a 2885 type digital power converter, which received attention worldwide. Electronical energy meters have powerful functions, high accuracy, flat and stable error profiles,low starting current, wide frequency response range, low power consumption, strong overload capacity, anti-tamper function, and easy installation. 5. Digital energy meters In the 1970s, with the continuous development of digital technology, digital energy meters began to gradually become popular. Digital energy meters adopt digital circuits and have higher measurement accuracy and richer functions, such as time sharing metering, maximum demand metering, etc. In addition, digital energy meters also have higher stability and reliability and are less affected by external factors. 6. Multi-functional energy meters In the 1980s, with the continuous development of intelligent meters and remote meter reading technology, multi-functional energy meters began to appear. In addition to electricity measurement functions, multi-functional energy meters also have many additional functions, such as demand measurement, anti-tamper function, prepaid function, etc.In addition, multi-functional energy meters also have higher communication interface performance, which can achieve remote meter reading and data transmission. 7. Smart energy meters At the beginning of the 21st century, with the rapid development of the Internet of Things and smart grid technology, smart energy meters began to become popular. Smart energy meters use advanced chip technology and embedded systems, with higher levels of intelligence, digitization, and multifunctionality. Smart energy meters can not only achieve energy metering and remote meter reading but also achieve user-side control, electricity information storage, bidirectional data communication in multiple data transmission modes, and better meet the needs of smart grid and new energy era. Smart energy meters not only have the measurement function of traditional energy…
