Comparative Analysis of Power Loses <strong>in</strong> Selected Measurement Devices 279<br />

order to that, data transmission l<strong>in</strong>e models are built which determ<strong>in</strong>e quantities<br />

that are crucial for the transmission, on the basis of which it is possible to prepare<br />

a f<strong>in</strong>al <strong>in</strong>terpretation of measurement data received from network detectors [13].<br />

The most demand<strong>in</strong>g of the European electrical energy, gas, water and heat<br />

suppliers set requirements for horizontal compatibility. Manufacturers prepared<br />

solutions which meet the above requirements. Companies: Iskraemeco, Landys &<br />

Gyr, Itron <strong>in</strong> April 2010 started the IDIS (Interoperable Device Interface Specification)<br />

association.<br />

Obta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g IDIS certificate by a manufacturer of a system or its elements lets<br />

energy companies <strong>in</strong>vest safely, as they can change the supplier of any of the system<br />

parts <strong>in</strong> the future. The most important qualities of IDIS certificate are: open<br />

<strong>in</strong>terfaces for meter and network management, low <strong>in</strong>vestment risk and futureproofness,<br />

be<strong>in</strong>g based on <strong>in</strong>ternational DLMS standard, support<strong>in</strong>g EU standardization<br />

mandate and meter management directive, support<strong>in</strong>g application for<br />

multiple energy companies, scalability for mass meter replacement and adjustability<br />

for future applications.<br />

While the smart grid specification is well documented, there still is not unified<br />

def<strong>in</strong>ition for a “smart meter”. It is assumed that a smart meter is an electric energy<br />

meter which has additional functionalities. The functions that are most often<br />

mentioned are: remote read<strong>in</strong>g, remote switch for energy supply (on/off), capability<br />

to register energy consumption <strong>in</strong> given periods, remote tariff change (the method<br />

of determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the costs of energy).<br />

As noted earlier, the name smart meter refers to an electric energy meter which<br />

has additional functionalities. From metrological po<strong>in</strong>t of view, such a meter does<br />

not differ <strong>in</strong> any way from a typical meter: the part responsible for measurement<br />

cont<strong>in</strong>ues to be of <strong>in</strong>terest for legal metrology - this part should meet all the requirements<br />

that a typical meter satisfies. The part of the meter responsible for<br />

additional functionalities is relevant to metrology <strong>in</strong> a respect that it must not exert<br />

any undesirable <strong>in</strong>fluence on the measur<strong>in</strong>g part or the transmitted data [3]. Undesirable<br />

<strong>in</strong>fluence on a measurement part refers to e.g. loss power, e.g. power<br />

needed to keep the electronic part of the meter runn<strong>in</strong>g which should not be <strong>in</strong>cluded<br />

<strong>in</strong> the payments for the energy consumed, i.e. it should be borne by energy<br />

supplier alone. In the analysis shown below, “classic meter” will be represented by<br />

a commonly used <strong>in</strong>duction meter, whereas meters <strong>in</strong>tended for smart grid systems<br />

will be electronic meters equipped with various communication modems which<br />

take advantage of both wired and wireless <strong>in</strong>terfaces for data transmission.<br />

2 Power Loss Measurement for Various Electric Energy<br />

Meters<br />

The subject of this work is the comparative analysis of power losses <strong>in</strong> selected<br />

electrical energy measurement devices. The study was conducted on various types<br />

of electric energy meters, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g:<br />

• 1-phase electronic meters with GSM/GPRS modems<br />

• 3-phase electronic meters with GSM/GPRS modems
