Its core functions are particularly close to daily life needs: firstly, automatic meter reading, without the need for electricians to come to the door, data can be directly transmitted to the power company system; The second is electricity monitoring, where many households can check their daily and hourly electricity consumption through their mobile phones, clearly knowing where their electricity bills are spent; The third is fault warning. When the line is overloaded or the electricity meter is abnormal, it will automatically sound an alarm to avoid safety hazards; The fourth option is remote payment. If there is no power, there is no need to run to the business hall. After paying with a mobile phone, power will be restored immediately.
Its working principle is also not complicated: the chip in the electricity meter calculates the current and voltage in real time, stores the electricity consumption data in the internal memory, and then transmits the data to the management platform of the power company through wireless networks (similar to mobile phone signals) or power lines. We are actually interacting with this platform by checking and paying electricity bills.
Compared to traditional electricity meters, its advantages are very obvious. Traditional electricity meters require manual monthly on-site meter reading, which is not only troublesome but also prone to errors; And the remote transmission of smart meter data is real-time and accurate, avoiding "estimated reading" and "missed reading". Traditional electricity meters run out of power and require purchasing a power card or plug in meter. If you forget to buy one, the power will suddenly shut down; Remote transmission of electricity meters supports remote payment and can also provide advance reminders of insufficient balance. In addition, traditional electricity meters cannot provide detailed electricity usage information. Remote transmission electricity meters can help people discover "major power consumers", such as how much electricity is used by air conditioners in summer, and help save electricity.
Whether it is residents of the community, shop owners, or enterprises, using remote smart meters makes electricity management more worry free and efficient, which is also why it has become an important part of upgrading the power system.
