Power Meter System

A power meter is a device that measures the electrical power consumed by a load or generated by a source. It’s a fundamental tool for monitoring energy usage, billing, and system efficiency.

This information is crucial for:
Energy Management: Identifying areas of inefficiency and taking steps to reduce energy consumption.
Cost Control: Optimizing energy usage to minimize utility bills.
Demand Response: Participating in demand response programs to help manage grid loads.
Asset Management: Monitoring the health and performance of electrical equipment.

Key Components of a Power Meter System:
Power Meter: The core component that directly measures voltage, current, and other electrical parameters.
Communication Network: Connects power meters to a central data collection point (e.g., concentrator, gateway, or cloud-based platform).
Data Acquisition System: Gathers and stores data from the power meters.
Data Analysis Software: Processes and analyzes the collected data to generate insights and reports.

Types of Power Meter Systems:
Basic Power Meter: Measures fundamental parameters like voltage, current, and power factor.
Advanced Power Meter: Provides detailed information on energy consumption, power quality, and harmonic distortion.
Smart Meter: Enables remote monitoring, often with advanced features like time-of-use metering and demand response capabilities.

Challenge :
– With data Graphic trend report user can analyse the abnormal and alert of energy usage
– User can find the effective speed to produce the maximum bottle at lowest energy consumption

Benefit :
– Dashboard presents energy consumption and demand of the plant for users to monitor current energy consumption.
– Based on energy split formula set up in the back office, users can monitor the KPI performance by energy consumption type.
