The invention discloses an
electric energy metering
system suitable for a competitive retail market, and the
system comprises: a user layer which is used for enabling an intelligent electric meter, auser portal website and an indoor controllable power utilization device of a user to be connected through a gateway, and presenting the real-time power utilization information of the user and the
electricity price information transmitted by an
electric power company to the user; an acquisition equipment layer which is used for enlarging the coverage area of the intelligent electric meter and the acquisition terminal as required; a
remote communication layer which is used for transmitting the measurement information, the fault alarm information and the device interference alarm information readby the electric meter to a
data center in real time by adopting a fixed
bidirectional communication network; and a main
station layer which is used for opening a
power grid, an
electricity selling company, a third-party
service company and a user, so as to enable different main bodies to have different
data access authorities. The
system can realize efficient and accurate settlement of various retail packages and promote network load interaction, effectively reduces the complexity of user
electric charge settlement, improves the practicability and flexibility of
electric energy metering, andis simple and easy to realize.
