Why is tariff energy meter being developed?
Electricity is not stored strictly speaking, the cost of storing electricity is very high, and the electricity sent out by power stations is wasted if not used. with the development of industry, the electricity consumption during the day has risen sharply, resulting in power tension; and the electricity load at night is low, resulting in waste. According to this pain point, users need to stagger the electricity consumption, resulting in multi-tariff energy meters.
What is the tariff energy meter?
It refers to the realization of sectional metering, time-of-day metering, different power prices for different periods of time, to optimize the efficiency of electricity consumption. In this way, we can play the role of electricity price regulation, encourage power users to adjust the electricity load, cut the peak and fill the valley, rational use of power resources, and fully exploit the potential of electricity generation, supply and consumption. Multi-tariff energy meter is also called time-sharing smart electricity meter, compound tariff meter, commonly known as peak-valley meter,tariff kWh meter, tariff Power meter. it is a measurement means provided in recent years to meet the needs of peak-valley time-sharing electricity tariff.
About the tariff function requirements for example:
1, support 4 tariffs.
2, should have 2 sets of tariffs and periods can be programmed arbitrarily, and can be set at the point in time to enable another set of tariffs and periods.
3、Each set of tariff time can be set at least 2 time zones throughout the year; at least 8 periods can be set within 24h; the minimum interval of time slots is 15min, and should be greater than the demand cycle set in the energy meter; the time slots can be set across the zero point. Each time slot setting is arranged from smallest to largest.
4、It should support the setting of special tariff time of public holidays and weekends.
Stepped electricity is another way to guide electricity users to save electricity. Stepped electricity refers to the pricing of electricity consumed by users in segments, and the price of electricity increases in steps with the increase in electricity consumption. For example, the first class is the basic electricity consumption, the second class is the normal electricity consumption, and the third class is the high quality electricity consumption, the first class is determined according to the electricity consumption covering 80% of the residents, and the second class is determined according to the electricity consumption covering 95% of the residents' households.
The progress of society, the development of science and technology, and the emergence of contradictory points have prompted the functions of Watt hour meter to become more and more powerful. From the ordinary metering function to the current stage of smart meter, Yongtailong as a smart electricity meter manufacturer has been carrying out the iteration of energy meter product function; as the earliest energy meter export enterprise, the customer group covers more than 60 countries and regions, the function demand form, rely on the solid innovation of R & D ability, based on the market, win the customer's recognition.
