Smart Meter
Smart meters are metering devices that measure utility consumption and exchange recorded data through a communications system.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Smart meters are one of the basic equipment for data collection in smart grids (especially smart distribution networks). They are responsible for the collection, measurement and transmission of raw electrical energy data, and are the basis for information integration, analysis and optimization, and information presentation. In addition to the basic power metering function of traditional electric energy meters, smart meters also have two-way multi-rate metering functions, user-side control functions, and two-way data communication with multiple data transmission modes in order to adapt to the use of smart grids and new energy. Intelligent functions such as functions and anti-theft functions.
Metering elements, local memory and communications support scheduled readings and related functions. Electricity, gas and water meters require distinct measurement technologies.
Network coverage and backend integration affect data availability. Device accuracy and end-to-end read success therefore need separate evaluation.
What turns activity into demand
Smart meters connect measurement with communications and data handling; reliable reads are only one part of the system.
The commercial boundary
Separate installed meters from communications networks, data platforms and utility services.
