Solutions of Electricity Measurement and Information Collection & Payment Syste
I. Background
With the economic development of countries and the dramatic increase of enterprise electric consumption, the traditional electricity management mode cannot meet the needs for modern management. Our company welcomes new practical technologies for the metering and reading of electricity meters to solve the new problems arising from this change, and truly realize the automation of electricity use and monitoring.
II. Advantages
Reliable and stable In consideration of technical advancement and openness, this scheme ensures the reliability and stability of the system operation, and achieves the maximum average interval between failures so that the impact of each failure on the entire system is as small as possible, and it also provides rapid failure recovery measures and data backup Solutions of Electricity Measurement and Information Collection & Payment System to ensure the data security and normal operation of the system. Advanced and practicable The system is concentrated on the practicality, including easy operation, simple flow, easy maintenance, and beautiful interface. Open-ended In order to satisfy the operating capability of the technology and equipment selected by the system, the longterm effects of the system investment, and needs the continuous expansion of system functions, the openness of the system must be realized. Extensible The system’s structural and function designs are all highly extensible and provided with enough space for business changes and future development. Easy for maintenance The system shall be provided with good maintainability via operating conditions monitoring and remote upgrading, so that the maintenance cost will be low once being operated formally. Secure The system security is crucial for power management. Therefore, in the scheme design, the security of the system is fully taken into consideration to prevent the intrusion of unauthorized users and the leakage of confidential information.
III. Benefit Analysis
Social benefit Abnormal power usage will be noticed timely to solve problems for users; A plenty of manpower will be saved, which is beneficiary for improving the service quality and management image; The artificial factors causing impact on reading, viewing and receiving can be eliminated; It is helpful to enhance the awareness of saving energy. Management benefit
Avoid the estimate reading: a lot of artificial and natural factors caused by remote meter reading can be eliminated, so as to supplement the poor monitoring. Support anti-theft function and prevent meter failures: the audit function for remote meter reading system can comprehensively analyze different features and find out users who use the electricity abnormally; and also conduct continuous tracking of suspicious households, which are very helpful for anti-theft of electricity and prevention of meter failures. Improve the control capacity and reliability: the system can conduct remote control of powering-on/off of the households for the convenience of equipment maintenance, which can also be used as the original statistical data for a user’s power supply reliability. User’s feeling Real-time inquiry: users can check their power consumption condition and information in real time. The electricity power company can also remind the users to pay fees with short messages according to the user’s request. The payment of electricity bills is carried out via WeChat or other various platforms, which is convenient for the users for saving time.
IV. General Design The electricity collection system consists of a meter, a concentrator, and a main station system, forming three-level storage of metering data. The topological graph of system structure is as follows:
System composition
The overall system consists of three levels of equipment, two level communication channels, and a set of systems. Among them;
● Three-level equipment refers to energy metering equipment, data collection equipment, and master station equipment.
● Two level communication refers to the Data acquisition equipment and meter data channel (down channel), and Data acquisition equipment and master station system data channel (upstream channel)
● A set of systems refers to the electricity usage information collection and management system
