Electricity meter is a device used to measure electricity consumption. It has been used and is still used with modern technologies today. In some places, smart meters have replaced traditional electricity meters, so what's the difference?Traditional meter only records the electricity consumption. In addition to the basic functions of electricity consumption measurement, smart meter also has ma...

What is meter data analytics? It refers to using statistical analysis method to process, model and calculate a large number of original metering data collected by smart meters, and then extract useful information and form conclusions. By mining the inherent correlation and deep value of meter data, it can provide decision support for the commercial operation, power grid planning and operation main...

Power Line Communication (PLC) is a technology which allows data to be transmitted by existing power lines. With this technology, we can use the power line which transmits the current as the communication carrier, load and transmit the high-frequency signal which includes the information by the power line, and finally use the special demodulator to separate the signal and send it to the terminal e...

What is Gateway?Gateway is a network node that connects two networks using different protocols together, it also acts as a "gate" between two networks. It may be a router, server, or other device that enables data to follow in and out of the network.Gateway is also called protocol converter, which can communicate between two networks using the same protocol or different protocol. As an i...

The smart meter system consists of two parts - the smart meter, which records information such as consumption of energy, current, voltage, etc., and the In-home display (IHD) - a portable screen that shows you how much energy you're using and how much it's costing you. The smart meter and IHD work together to ensure you receive accurate information about your energy use.In-home displays ar...
