Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electric power equipment, and in particular relates to an electric energy meter reading system based on an electric energy information collection terminal, and also relates to an operating method of the electric energy meter reading system based on the electric energy information collection terminal. Background Art

[0002] Traditionally, manual meter reading involves dispatching personnel from the power management department to read meters at fixed monthly intervals. These personnel then compile the data and calculate the user's electricity bill. This manual method is labor-intensive and inefficient, and is gradually being replaced by modern automated meter reading. Prepaid IC cards eliminate the hassle of meter reading and the difficulty of billing. However, for power companies, if a meter is damaged, personnel must be present to immediately address the problem, which places a high demand on personnel.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document (authorization publication number CN102176681B) describing a remote centralized meter reading system based on a flooding algorithm. The system includes a master meter reading station, a GPRS network, a concentrator, and power line carrier meters. Both the master meter reading station and the concentrator are equipped with GPRS modules, communicating via the GPRS network. Communication between the concentrator and the power line carrier meters occurs via power lines. This invention overcomes the drawbacks of traditional meter reading methods, completing functions such as data collection, metering, transmission, and settlement, enabling remote meter reading, querying, payment, and intelligent control. It eliminates the need for wiring, reduces workload, transmits large amounts of data, achieves high accuracy, and reduces costs. Modern automation replaces manual management, improving efficiency.
