What are the benefits of using smart meters in office parks, office buildings and other properties?

Smart meter is one of the basic devices for data acquisition in smart power grid (especially smart distribution network), which undertakes the tasks of collecting, measuring and transmitting the original electric energy data, and is the basis for information integration, analysis and optimization and information display. In addition to the basic metering function of traditional watt-hour meters, smart meters also have intelligent functions such as bidirectional multi-rate metering function, user control function, bidirectional data communication function of various data transmission modes, and anti-theft function in order to adapt to the use of smart power grids and new energy sources.

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and automatic meter reading (AMR) system based on smart meters can provide users with more detailed electricity consumption information, so that users can better manage their own electricity consumption, thus achieving the purpose of saving electricity and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Power retailers can flexibly set the time-of-use price according to users' needs and promote the reform of power market price system; Distribution companies can find faults more quickly and respond in time to strengthen the control and management of the power grid.

Provide users with real-time energy consumption data, promote users to adjust their electricity consumption habits, and find abnormal energy consumption caused by equipment failure in time. Based on the technology provided by smart meters, power companies, equipment suppliers and other market participants can provide users with new products and services, such as different types of time-sharing network electricity prices, electricity contracts with repurchase, spot price electricity contracts and so on.

Smart home

Smart home refers to connecting different devices, machines and other energy-consuming devices in a network, and controlling them according to residents' needs and behaviors, outdoor temperature and other parameters. It can realize the interconnection of heating, alarm, lighting and ventilation systems, so as to realize the remote control of home automation and home appliances.
