METHOD FOR COLLECTING CONSUMPTION DATA IN AN AUTOMATED SMART METER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

A dual-tiered smart electricity meter system separates and manages electrical consumption data for specific sub-parts within a general installation, addressing the need for separate load balancing and billing by using primary and secondary meters to relay and attribute consumption data effectively.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing smart electricity meters lack the ability to distinguish and manage the electrical consumption of specific sub-parts of a general electrical installation, such as electric vehicle charging, separately from the overall consumption, necessitating separate management by different information systems due to varying load balance requirements.

Method used

Implementing a dual-tiered system with primary and secondary smart electricity meters, where the primary meter supervises a general installation and relays data to separate information systems, while the secondary meter manages specific sub-parts, collecting and transmitting consumption data to both systems, allowing accurate attribution and management of electrical consumption.

Benefits of technology

Enables precise and reliable separation of electrical consumption data for specific uses, facilitating effective load balancing and management by distinct information systems, ensuring accurate billing and network efficiency.

Abstract

An automated management system comprises primary and secondary smart electricity meters. Each primary smart meter monitors a general electrical installation, while each secondary smart meter is connected downstream of a primary smart meter and monitors a dedicated electrical installation. The automated management system also includes a first information system managing the primary smart meters and a second information system managing the secondary smart meters.Each primary smart meter collects (408) electricity consumption information from the general electrical installation, and each secondary smart meter collects (401) electricity consumption information from the dedicated electrical installation, to allocate electricity consumption to a subscription. Each secondary smart meter collects (402) intrinsic electricity consumption information from the secondary smart meter in question so that the first information system can allocate this electricity consumption to the second information system.
