The future of smart meters
What are the biggest features of smart meters? It is interaction, the information interaction between the user and the power supply bureau. The key lies in convenient and user-friendly management, which requires stronger information processing capabilities of the chip. The future development of electric meters is the direction of modularization, networking and systemization.
Modularization
The current smart meter solutions generally adopt a functional integrated design. Once the smart meter fails, only the entire meter can be replaced. This is bound to increase the maintenance cost of smart meters and cause serious waste of resources.
Yongtailong’s smart meters are designed to use different modules, and faulty modules can be replaced by on-site or remote upgrades, which improves maintainability and saves maintenance costs. Among them, there are many options for communication modules, and communication methods such as RS485, RF, G3 PLC and GPRS can be used by replacing the module.
Networking
Networking can realize real-time sampling and storage of electric energy data in various occasions, and transmit the information to the electricity consumption information management system in real time or non-real time via wired or wireless network transmission.
Realize real-time or non-real-time measurement and monitoring of off-site power usage information by power supply management departments through data sharing and analysis;
Through networking, some functions of smart meters can be moved from the access layer to the network layer and data management platform layer.
Realize the functions of smart meters through data sharing and comprehensive analysis and simplify the design of smart meters.
Systemization
Systematization is the comprehensive utilization of mature computer technology and power system automation technology to realize the effective analysis, processing and management of massive power consumption data on the data control management platform.
It will be based on a unified operating system to ensure the consistency of smart terminal software.
Yongtailong has a systematic platform for smart power management applications, AMI smart meter system, U-degree energy-saving management system, APS power meter prepayment system, and smart street light control system.
