Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric energy metering, and in particular to an electric energy meter for metering the electric energy of multiple new energy grid-connected circuits. Background Art
[0002] In order to protect the environment and reduce fossil fuel power generation, distributed renewable energy generation has received widespread attention. At present, a variety of distributed renewable energy generation systems have been widely used on the user side. Small household solar power generation systems, household wind power generation systems, and electric vehicle energy storage power generation systems have appeared in ordinary people's homes in developed countries.
[0003] After the distributed renewable energy generation system is connected to the grid, there is a two-way flow of power and energy. When the distributed renewable energy generation system cannot meet the power needs of users, it receives power from the grid. When the distributed renewable energy generation system has sufficient power, it feeds the remaining power back to the grid while meeting the power needs of users, thus realizing a two-way flow of energy between the distributed renewable energy generation system and the grid.
[0004] At present, the commissioning of distributed new energy power generation systems such as small household solar energy, wind power, and electric vehicle energy storage has become a development trend. However, the user-side electricity metering method in the prior art is mostly one-way metering, which cannot meet the metering requirements of the two-way flow of electricity after the distributed new energy power generation system is connected to the grid. Some families in Europe and the United States solve the metering problem of the two-way flow of electricity between the distributed new energy power generation system and the power grid by installing an electricity meter and a power generation meter at the same time. However, this method has the disadvantages of waste of resources and inconvenience in use. At the same time, the energy efficiency of the multi-channel new energy electricity connected to the energy meter in the prior art is too high, which causes the internal components of the energy meter to emit too much heat, resulting in a shortened service life of the energy meter. Most of the existing energy meters rely on the heat dissipation holes fixed on the shell for natural heat dissipation, and the heat dissipation efficiency is slow. When used under certain high temperature conditions, the internal heat cannot be quickly discharged, resulting in damage to the internal electrical appliances, which needs further improvement.

The central processing module is used to analyze the data monitored by the distributed energy metering module, and can realize accurate measurement of voltage, current, power and electric energy at the grid-connected point of multiple renewable energy power generation. The LCD display 2 is model 1062A.
[0032] The working principle of the present invention is: after the measured AC voltage and current are sampled and processed by the distributed energy metering module, they are converted into pulse frequency signals proportional to the active power and sent to the central processor. The central processor accumulates the pulse signals according to the time period rate to obtain the total power and the power of each rate, which can realize the accurate measurement of voltage, current, power and electric energy at the grid connection of multiple renewable energy power generation. The metering data is displayed and output in real time through the LCD screen 2, and sent to the power management center through the communication module to realize the real-time recording and remote meter reading functions. The meter has the advantages of high reliability, high precision, long life, etc. It adapts to a wide voltage range, and the whole machine does not need to be adjusted after leaving the factory.
[0033] When the temperature sensor 13 detects that the temperature inside the shell 1 is too high, the central processing unit controls the cooling fan 7 to start, and the cooling fan 7 blows the hot air inside the shell 1 to the outside. Through the provided heat dissipation port 5 and the air inlet 12, the air inside and outside the shell 1 can circulate, completing the exchange of hot and cold air, thereby achieving the effect of ventilation and heat dissipation, effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the electric energy meter, and avoiding the internal temperature of the electric energy meter being too high, which affects the service life of the internal electrical appliances.
