The embodiment of the invention discloses a metering error compensation method and device based on a post-stage load of an
electric energy meter, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining configuration parameters preset in a storage of the
electric energy meter, the physical state of a
relay, and the metering data of each phase; setting a reactive compensation value of a metering loop to be zero and then sending the reactive compensation value to a metering
chip, if the
relay is in a
closed state, calculating to obtain capacitive reactive power based on configuration parameters in the
electric energy meter memory and the metering data of each phase, and sending the capacitive reactive power to the metering
chip; and reactive offset compensation is carried out based on the data received by the metering
chip. According to the application, the physical state of the
relay is taken as a judgment basis of compensation enabling, so that the power utilization condition of a user side can be reflected more intuitively, invalid compensation on a no-load
capacitor in a power-off state is further avoided, and the accuracy of
power factor assessment, reactive
compensation strategy and
transformer area
line loss analysis is improved.
