Architecture, Standards and Specification for Metering System in a Digital Substation and Protection, Automation and Control (PACS) Environment

This technical brochure focuses on exploration of an alternative electricity metering solution, to the conventional analogue approach, which is a digital based metering system reliant on a process bus. It provides an overview of conventional metering systems as a comparative reference to the digital ones, and explores their differences, similarities, as well as pros and cons. It also discusses the importance of legal requirements to allow new metering technology to be adopted at scale, as well as collecting best practice from across the world in the absence of standardisation and other established industry best practice processes. The brochure discusses practical Digital Revenue Metering (DRM) applications using conventional instrument transformers or LPITs, and provides insights generated…
