The electrical meters, which we call smart, can keep as much information in their memory as defined by the designer and have the ability to transmit this information to the desired center wired and wirelessly by transferring this information from the optical port with the appropriate device, or by transferring it from the optical port with the help of the key on the meter.
Instead of applying real-time consumption indexed pricing, in case electricity prices have gone up three times in three months, as we have experienced in the last three months, while such important content has been produced and ready for use,
High some of the consumers with consumption are on the last day of the month, when invoiced based on 00:00 records, for all other remaining consumers, the benchmarking method an average price found when prices are compared to consumption days is calculated through the
In this case, the first reading date is September 16 2018, in a consumer with a deadline of October 16, 2018;
15 from the unit price in September used electricity for 15 days from the unit price in October. but which unit uses how much electricity from the price is not separated.
If the consumer has done all of the consumption recorded by the meter in September, then the supply companies will suffer losses if the consumer does not excise the entire consumption recorded by the meter in October, even though the consumer did not have electricity cut off for any reason in September, otherwise half of the consumption will be priced at the planting price.
Advantage of Smart Meters vs Electronic Counters
Information recorded by counters can be accessed in detail in wired or wireless transmission models and retrospective time zones, except for manual reading of smart (electronic) counters (manual reading of consumption values and manual recording of values).
While it is possible for all consumers with smart counters to calculate the unit price for the periods to which the consumption belongs and to have a fair charge,
Consumers hand used to read counters for arranging invoices at detailed unit prices terminals and CRM software, the problem can be solved, but period with the gradual tariff application expressed to be implemented invoice calculations with two different unit price. in the current billing format so that it can be seen in detail on arrangements will be required.
If gradual tariff implementation will begin in the near future, it will be inevitable that a new regulation will work on the invoice design.
If you take this opportunity and work on the design that is appropriate for invoices for periods with multiple unit prices, one-time work will solve multiple problems.
This while preparations for the new situation are being carried out by companies, the public authority instead of a printed invoice to consumers whose communication infrastructure is appropriate. electricity companies on electronic invoices and printed invoices to pave the way for the creation of a revenue model by obtaining advertisements by will be useful for the system.
If our electricity meters are smart, then the benefit and performance by executing common mind it is possible to maximize the Advantage of Smart Meters.
