What Do the Peaks, Tip, Flats, and Valleys in Smart Meters Mean?(2)

Read Meters and Calculate Electricity Bills

Take the calculation of electricity and electricity bills from January 1 to February 1 as an example.

1. Meter reading

Resident user

It is necessary to copy the total active power display, active peak display, and active valley display on January 1 and February 1 respectively.

General industrial and commercial users

You need to copy the total active power display, active peak display, active tip display, active valley display, and active power level display on January 1 and February 1 respectively. If the power consumption exceeds 100kw, it is necessary to copy the reactive power indicator to calculate the power factor.

2. Calculate the electricity bill

Resident user

Power usage = total active power indication on February 1 - total active power indication on January 1

Refer to the local electricity price table, and then multiply the electricity consumption by the electricity price to obtain the electricity usage fee.

If it is a time-of-use electricity price, it is necessary to subtract the indications in the peak and valley periods to calculate the electricity consumption during the peak and valley periods. Then calculate the electricity bill for the two periods of peak and valley and add the two to get the total electricity bill.

General business

Generally, the industry and commerce implement time-of-use electricity prices, so it is necessary to calculate the electricity in the peak and valley sections and then multiply the electricity price of each time period to calculate the electricity cost of each time period, and then add up to obtain the total electricity cost.

What we use every day is calculated according to a single system. The calculation of the single system only calculates the electricity bill, so we only need to copy the bottom of the meter to calculate the electricity bill correctly.
