Have you ever heard of the dual source energy meter ?

The dual source energy meter usually refers to an energy meter that can simultaneously measure the input or output of two different types or sources of energy. This type of meter is particularly suitable for hybrid energy systems, such as those with traditional grid power and renewable energy sources (such as solar, wind, etc.), as well as diesel power generation.

The following are some characteristics of dual source energy meters:

Multi channel metering: The dual source energy meter has two independent metering channels, each corresponding to a power source, which can be AC or DC, different types of renewable energy, or electricity generated by diesel generators. It can calculate the flow and total amount of electricity for each type of energy separately.

Integrated management: By accurately measuring the electricity from two energy sources, dual source energy meters help users manage energy, especially when energy storage equipment is available. Energy usage can be dynamically scheduled based on price differences, energy output, and demand during different time periods, achieving economically efficient energy consumption.

Compliant with policy requirements: In many places, the government has implemented corresponding subsidy policies and grid electricity pricing policies to promote the application of clean energy. Dual source electricity meters can support the implementation of these policies, ensuring that users can accurately settle fees based on the amount of electricity generated or consumed.

Real time monitoring and data transmission: Advanced dual source electricity meters usually integrate intelligent functions, which can monitor electricity data in real time and upload the data to the energy management system through communication interfaces (such as GPRS, PLC, RS485, etc.), making it convenient for users and power grid operators to monitor and manage in real time.

In summary, dual source energy meters are designed to adapt to the development of diversified energy supply and consumption patterns in modern energy systems. They can meet the needs of users for efficient and accurate measurement and management of electricity in environments with multiple energy sources coexisting.

 

Currently, in Africa, due to power shortages, diesel and solar power generation are common, so the demand for dual source energy meters is increasing Meanwhile, in Europe, rooftop solar energy is also very popular, and dual source energy meters can measure solar energy and grid electricity consumption through multiple channels, achieving accurate measurement.
