The difference between smart meters and ordinary meters

1, ordinary meter only power measurement. Smart meter in addition to the basic functions of power measurement, but also has the information storage, automatic control, time measurement, remote meter reading, measurement of power parameters, power information security protection functions.

2. Compared with the previous ordinary meters, smart meters have added new functions such as metering information management, power consumption information management, power consumption monitoring, etc., which can better provide accurate and timely calculation of electricity bill for power consumption customers.

3. Compared with ordinary meters, smart meters have added the function of two-way metering, which can record the amount of electricity entering the user's power supply as well as the amount of electricity supplied by the user to the power grid.

If the user has a wind, solar and other distributed clean energy power generation facilities, when the power generated can not be used by themselves, they can realize the excess power to the grid, thus achieving energy saving and environmental protection, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, but also improve the economic benefits of the user.
