What Are the Benefits of Smart Power Meters?

With the touch of a finger, without leaving home, ordinary people can complete the payment of electricity bills through their mobile phones. This is the convenience brought by smart meters to our lives. With the development of intelligence, the electric meter at home has also become very intelligent. Today's smart meters are different from traditional meters. Smart meters can not only be connected to the Internet but also remotely read meters. Remote meter reading is the most fundamental significance of smart meters. As for how to realize remote meter reading, the following is a detailed introduction.

Rich data

Traditional mechanical meters can only display active energy values, but now smart energy meters can collect much more data. Taking the smart three-phase electricity meter as an example, it not only measures the active power value but also can display the forward active power, reactive power, reverse active power and remaining electricity cost, four-quadrant active power, peak-to-valley, and other values. These data can help managers to better analyze energy consumption, manage electricity more efficiently, and then guide the adjustment and optimization of electricity consumption.

Strong scalability

Scalability is also a distinguishing feature of smart energy meters. The expansion module is the main form of flexible adaptation of the new generation of smart energy meters. Users can choose different function expansion modules on the electric energy meter according to different business scenarios, and further expand the communication, control, calculation, monitoring, payment, and other functions of the meter through the module to achieve a high degree of informatization and intelligence.

With the data storage function, it can effectively record and store historical data and data of the day, month, and year.

Smart energy meter data can be transmitted remotely

There is a chip module inside the smart meter. It is a terminal layer. If managers want to realize energy consumption monitoring and management, they need a meter reading system. Therefore, the smart meter is used together with the smart system to realize remote meter reading.
