Its open system design facilitates world-wide deployment to populate applications with real time data based on accurate measurements. This electric meter is designed to meet requirements for data on demand from multiple users. Traditional meters focus only on single user applications at fixed time intervals.

It is the right solution in today’s complex energy markets combining low cost, high accuracy, minimum cost of communications with real time data access and reporting.

This sophisticated web enabled meter combines elements of simplicity, is highly functional and reduces overall ownership costs. Since most facilities already have an existing network, the cost of communication is virtually nil.

Load Profile And Peak Demand Capability:

This advanced meter provides peak demand (kW) with a date and time stamp informing you as to when the peak demand occurred. It also has the capability to periodically record and store interval data usage (load profile) based on a user defined interval of 1 minutes to 60 minutes or more. This functionality helps identify where, when and how much energy was consumed say, every 15 minutes. It can also store energy consumption by time-of-use (TOU). This allows end users to identify how much energy was consumed during different periods of the day. Configuration settings are done via its on board web server.

This smart meter can be used as a demand meter, time-of-use (TOU) meter or load profile meter – providing the right functionality for sub-metering, energy management and other metering applications such as demand reduction. Also, it boasts a wide variety of features like XML data encapsulation and broadband connectivity enabling it to transmit data via email, ftp or SOAP Web Service client. Reports can also be accessed via its web server.

The supporting software application Energy@DeskTop enables an end-to-end solution from measurement to acquisition to energy management.

Standard features include:

• kW, kWh, kVARh, voltage, current, power factor, VA, frequency.
  kWh & kVARh (Delivered, Received, Sum, Net – Instantaneous).
• Load Profile 4 Channels: kWh & kVARh (delivered and received).
• Configurable demand reset date and load profile logging interval.
• Internet connectivity via dynamically assigned IP address or fixed IP address.
• Email notification with cc: option.
• Data transfer via email, ftp, web server, or SOAP Web Service client.
• FTP client – To send load profile, demand and consumption summary details.
• SNTP for time synchronization.
• Log-in to web server is authenticated.
• Data encapsulation format – XML.
• Programmable alpha-numeric meter ID and meter serial number.
• Programmable demand (kW) threshold. Meter sends email when exceeded.
• Programmable email/ftp (daily) reporting of peak demand, consumption and previous months energy usage.
• Programmable email/ftp reporting of load profile data at end of interval or at fixed intervals.
• Mail, ftp or SOAP reports include total kWh, last interval’s kW, voltage, current, power factor values by phase and frequency.
• Mail, ftp or SOAP Web Service client reports can be setup to be sent every 1 minute or daily.
• Open Protocols XML, HTTP, SMTP, SNTP, FTP, DHCP, DNS, SOAP.

Benefits:

• Better management of total energy usage.
• Get details about the amount and timing of your energy use, so you can adjust accordingly and save money.
• Advanced meter data can be used to compare costs between competing utilities and to arrange for bulk-rate purchasing.
• Identify and implement operational strategies to control load factor, peak load requirements and reduce energy waste.
• Understand and improve consumption patterns.
• Measure and verify anticipated energy savings from energy efficiency modifications.
• Secure a better pricing from the retail energy markets.
• Highlight anomalies in electric consumption.
• Interface the meter to a smart IP enabled thermostat for automatic demand and energy reduction. The meter pays for itself, simply by using this option.
• Identify and assess on a real time basis the fiscal impact of the energy consumption.
• Advanced notification via email of a higher peak demand being set.
• Instantaneous real time access to measurement and metered data via the Internet or local network.

Real Time Data Measurement And Reporting:

Nowadays, majority of buildings have a network already present. Our meter’s connection to a network is identical to that of a PC or laptop. There are 3 ways energy usage data can be accessed.

1. Connecting to the meter’s Web Server provides immediate access to data.

2. Meter can be set up to send reports periodically via email.

3. Meter can be set up to send reports periodically via ftp.

Acquiring data in real time from a network enabled meter has many advantages and provides significant benefits. Real-time data provides a greater understanding of the dynamic response characteristics of energy usage. Acquiring real-time data enables proactive management as after-the-fact does not help.

The most important is its ability to send frequent reports has no impact on communication costs, unlike the telephone-modem based meters. For example, load profile data can be dispatched every 5 minutes.

Certain applications such as tenant billing only require once a month reporting which can also be setup in the meter, but knowing that you can generate or provide more frequent reporting has value in the sense that such reporting can prevent end of month ‘shock’ should energy usage go unexpectedly high. The meter can be setup to report to (cc:) tenants that would benefit from this.

If the meter sends an email warning of a peak demand threshold being crossed, you can take immediate action to avert this.

It is by far simpler and faster to use a network than using dial up modem and because the meter is network enabled, it can talk to other devices such as an ip enabled thermostat and help reduce demand costs. Many corporations have an IT department and use their own software. The ability to easily interface with our meter over a network and capture data in XML provides additional value.

Energy Usage Analysis:

Using the interval logging capabilities of our meter, you can identify where, when and how much energy is used over time. You can chart and print energy consumption by months, weeks, days, hours or sub intervals.

You can identify when the highest peak demand occurred and the time at which it occurred.

You can compare energy consumption on various days to identify anomalies and review changes in operation. You can also perform kWh v/s kVARh, kW v/s kWh analysis or compare energy usage of multiple sites.

Low Cost Energy Management System:

In addition to being a revenue grade meter, this advanced meter has the ability to directly interface to an ip enabled thermostat. Whenever, the kW threshold is exceeded, it will cycle the air conditioner’s compressor enabling demand reduction.

The meter has two outputs that are optically isolated and can be triggered based on user defined kW threshold values. The ability to measure and control external load enables a low cost energy management solution.

Billing Analysis: Our Energy@DeskTop software application has a tariff module which allows you to enter energy and demand costs for weekdays, weekend and holidays. You can then generate and print a bill based on the tariff.
