Billing applicationsABB meters meet key regulatory and practical demandsfor billing applications. Billing employs electricity metersto measure consumption and use this reading to generatean invoice, usually monthly, paid by the user to the energysupplier for the electricity consumed. For this reason, it isalso known as revenue metering.Those who pay bills, usually home-owners or businesses,naturally only want to pay for the electricity they use.ABB meters go a long way to achieving this accurately.Special requirements on billing meters includeMID-approvalMeters that read electricity consumption as a basis for billingmust meet special requirements, including compliance withMID, the new EU/EEC directive for measuring instruments thatwas taken into national legislation during 2006 (see page 46for more details). In Russia, the equivalent standard is GOST.For purely practical reasons, billing meter size is also very important.ABB meters are more compact than traditional incoming‘utility meters’, which means that they are much easierto install. That they can be enclosed in standard DIN-rail fittingsalso means an attractive installation, which is importantwhen this is visible in the home, e.g. in an entrance hall.Modern technical functions increase usabilityABB electricity meters are well equipped to meet moderntechnical demands such as four quadrant metering,a function increasingly being requested. Four quadrantmetering measures energy generated as well as consumed,and is thus highly relevant for properties with their own solarpanels or wind power, for example.Tariffs are used for recording consumption in various time intervals.Tariffs can be controlled via inputs, communication oran internal clock. ABB meters are available with 2 or 4 tariffs.Previous values and load profile are two further practicalfeatures found on certain meters in the ABB range. Theformer means that the meters save previous consumptionreadings (usually monthly, sometimes 24-hour) in a register.This allows the electricity supply company to read the exactconsumption over a number of previous specified periods.Load profile measures current electricity consumption overdefined intervals, e.g. 15 min, 30 min or 60 min. Subscriberswith a web portal can then follow their own use of electricity‘minute-by-minute’, which is invaluable for optimizing theiruse as well as identifying stand-by consumption, i.e. when‘nothing’ is on. Both help change energy awareness andconsumption behavior for the better!Finally, ABB meters feature quality and event log, which helpselectricity companies log over-tension and undertensionvoltage plus breaks in supply.ABB meters meet key regulatory and practical demands forbilling applications8 Electricity meters | 2CMC480022C0003
CommunicationCommunication is getting more important every day.Computers and telecommunications drive the developmentof both technology and infrastructure for communication.Communication is widely used in modern meteringapplications.Increasing demands on integration of meter dataNot long ago, meters were considered to be stand aloneproducts, read manually a few times per year. This is not trueanymore. Today, there is a high demand of integration of meterdata into metering data systems for evaluation and for controlof processes. There are strong requirements on connectingactions, e.g. start of equipment etc, to its consequences, anincrease of energy consumption. It is only by linking theseactions and consequences that we will get tools that are powerfulenough for increasing the energy efficiency and changingbehavior of the users.Open standardsOpen standards are important to communication. Through openstandards, equipment from various suppliers can work togetherand safe solutions be implemented.Flexible ABB solutionABB has adopted a flexible solution for communication enablingall their electricity meters. A serial communication adapter canbe connected to any ABB meter through an infrared interfaceon the side of both the meter and the adapter. This solutionenables any ABB meter to be connected to a metering systemand it is easy to change or upgrade the communication withoutaffecting the installation of the meter itself. Further, a change ofthe communication adapter does not effect the approval of themeter.New technologiesCommunication is developing with new technologies evolvingall the time. New affordable equipment builds up the infrastructure,whether it is within the internet, telecom or other. Meteringdata is nowadays frequently communicated via LANs and cellphone networks.2CMC480022C0003| Electricity meters 9
