What is the power meter load profile function- Zhejiang Yongtailong Electronic Co., Ltd

Energy meter is a device used to measure electrical energy, every household has installed energy meter, we all know the product of energy meter, but most people do not understand the function of energy meter. With the promotion of smart three phase Watt hour meters, energy meters have been given more functions and missions.
power meter can be divided into, single-phase power meter, two-phase power meter, three-phase power meter.

Today I would like to share with you in detail about the load profile function in the energy meter.

What is load profile?

According to the set time interval of power parameters (voltage, current, active power, reactive power, active power, reactive power, power factor) for rolling data recording function is the load profile recording function; it shows the law of load change with time. The interval time of load recording can be set in the range of 1min～60min, and the default interval time is 15min; the interval time of each type of load recording can be the same or different. The storage space of load record of three-phase meter should ensure at least 40 days of data volume for recording the total active energy, total reactive energy and four quadrant reactive energy in forward and reverse directions with the interval time of 1min; the storage space of load record of single-phase meter should ensure at least 3 days of data volume for recording the total active energy, voltage, current, frequency, active power and power factor with the interval time of 15min.

What does the load profile do?

The minute load profile, hourly load profile, daily load profile, monthly load profile, and annual load profile can be used to analyze how much electricity is consumed and how it is used by customers, which is the main basis for determining the operation of the power system and each power plant and for making production plans. To put it bluntly, it is the time when the power plant puts in more generating units to generate more electricity to meet the customer's power demand and control the operating cost. Load profiles are the best way to show how electricity is being used and play an important role in long-term planning and daily production scheduling for power systems. For residential customers, long-term load profiles can be used to understand the household's electricity consumption and habits.

In the era of information and data, China multi-functional Power meters, China smart kWh meters combined with AMR systems and AMI systems have become mainstream, and data communication has become a key basic function, and the communication method, communication rate and reliability and stability of communication are especially important. The storage of meter load profile can be fault-tolerant to the short-time failure of communication, and the missing data can be replaced when the communication is restored.
