What Is the Difference Between a Smart Meter and a Traditional Meter?
The smart electric energy meter is worthy of the upgraded product in the new era. Compared with the ordinary electric energy meter, it has many benefits. It has the functions of more accurate measurement, memorized power, and remote transmission of information. What is the difference between a smart energy meter and an ordinary energy meter?
The difference between a smart meter and an ordinary meter is as follows:
(1) Ordinary electricity meters only have the function of measuring energy. In addition to the basic functions of electric energy measurement, smart meters also have functions such as information storage, real-time monitoring, automatic control, and information interaction. Electricity information security protection and other functions.
(2) Compared with previous electricity meters, smart meters have added new functions such as metering information management, electricity consumption information management, and electricity consumption monitoring. It can better provide accurate and timely electricity bill calculation function for electricity customers.
(3) With the function of two-way metering, it supports the utilization of distributed energy. In addition to recording the amount of electricity entered to the user, it can also record the amount of electricity the user provides to the grid. If users build their own distributed clean energy power generation facilities such as wind energy and solar energy, when the generated power cannot be used by themselves, the excess power can be transmitted to the grid, so as to achieve energy conservation and environmental protection, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, make users’ life low-carbon, and improve economic benefits for users.
The emergence of smart meters has greatly facilitated our lives. With the construction of smart grids, smart meters will definitely enter thousands of households. However, the problems brought by smart meters cannot be ignored. issues of greater concern.
In addition, whether the large-scale application of smart meters will have an impact on national security, how to deal with a large amount of surplus manpower after automatic meter reading replaces manual meter reading, etc. These are the problems that must be faced and solved in the promotion of smart meters.
