In the past, meter reading was needed, but now how to remotely control smart meters?

First of all, the metering chip integrated in the smart meter collects the current and voltage of the user in real time, and then the microprocessor calculates and analyzes the collected data to get the power (how many kWh the user used). Then, through the wireless collector integrated in the smart meter (with a mobile phone card inserted on it, which is similar to the function of our mobile phone), the power data is wirelessly sent to the power remote control and management system. Finally, the power remote management system will analyze and process the information sent by these collectors, and then form a report output, so that users can see the electricity consumption at a glance.

The electric power remote management system can carry out personalized design functions according to different needs of users, and mainly realize remote control, remote meter reading, remote recharge, report printing and other operations of smart meters, and monitor, manage, store and record the running state of the whole system.

With the wide application of smart meters, it provides great convenience for electric power work. Meter readers who used to walk around the streets no longer have to run around. In the office, they can finish their work in front of the computer. Especially in the vast rural areas, meter reading is a very hard work. In some places, residents live in scattered places, and meter readers often have to walk dozens of kilometers of mountain roads to copy meters once.

Regarding smart meters, some people on the Internet reported that the electricity consumption increased after the replacement of smart meters, and they suspected that smart meters were "charging phone bills". In fact, this situation does not exist, but the most obvious difference of smart meters is that the accuracy has increased by several orders of magnitude. So the power consumption of your TV, mobile phone charger, LED on the patch panel, etc. May be detected.

As we all know, China has strict standards for meter measurement: after completing production, smart meter manufacturers will first test all the parameters of smart meters, and then send them to the relevant testing center of State Grid, which will test the smart meters delivered by the manufacturers again, and finally distribute them to our users after passing the test.
