Our Smart Meter Solution revolutionizes modern power grids by enhancing reliability, sustainability, and efficiency. It addresses the challenges of large-scale smart meter deployment while leveraging existing infrastructure.
Smart metering infrastructure is an essential part of modern grids, as it helps to make them more reliable and sustainable. However, the large-scale implementation of smart meters faces a challenge due to the high cost and logistics of replacing existing meters.
Upgrades existing meters to smart meters
Adds communication for remote monitoring
Enables real-time tracking and data reporting
Offers a low-cost modernization option
A retrofit solution is proposed that incorporates the capabilities of smart meters into existing digital meters. An add-on communication module (ACM) is developed that can be integrated with digital meters equipped with optical or serial (RS 232, RS-485) ports.
The ACM communicates the digital meter data using the conventional Modbus protocol or DLMS/COSEM (IEC 62056-21). Data is sent to a DCU via LoRaWAN and forwarded to a central server.
The module is tested on single-phase and three-phase meters from multiple manufacturers.
