Whilst legacy smart meters have had comparatively limited functionality, next generation<\/span><\/p>\n

meters can do a lot more. They can unlock real-time grid visibility and fault detection, from the primary side, through to the secondary side, all the way to behind the meter. Large loads like EV\u2019s and Heat Pumps can be detected and measured; real time insight can be provided into power quality, THD, voltage and frequency; ground, line to line, and connection faults can be detected, located and diagnosed. Grid operators can shift from being reactive to proactive. Instead of incurring substantial costs and penalties due to grid failures, problems can be identified and resolved before customer experience and safety is affected – and before they become catastrophic and costly. High resolution data on next generation meters eliminates a significant blind spot for grid operators, helping to expand capacity in a targeted manner, identify overloaded assets, and reduce costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

These new capabilities are largely due to the combination of three technologies:<\/span><\/p>\n

1) high resolution data of a minimum of 15,000ksps but ideally much more, up to 1MHz
<\/span>2) grid edge processing of the data so cloud costs are minimal; and<\/span>
<\/span>3) real time connectivity to enable deeper insight and faster response<\/span><\/p>\n

The incremental cost is surprisingly modest, and it is far exceeded by the savings to the <\/span>energy system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, next generation meters are now being specified with high resolution data <\/span>as standard. It\u2019s the default in North America and is increasingly seen in Asia Pacific too. <\/span>However, 15,000ksps is the baseline for high resolution data with the greatest benefits <\/span>at 1MHz. A million samples a second may once have sounded outlandish, but not anymore. An off the shelf ASIC chip is now available that can convert a simple analogue feed into 1MHz, whilst also packing in hefty processing power and an array of comms options including WiFi, cellular, and bluetooth. This solution provides the most powerful use cases and the greatest savings available to grid operators, retailers, and other market participants.<\/span>
