5a, 5b, and 5c are flow charts of metering terminal rate calculation according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 5a to Figure 5c, the calculation of electricity tariffs mainly involves two levels:

1) selection of user types; user types include, for example, ordinary users and industrial users, different user types, and there are differences in rate scheme selection;

2) The choice of the rate plan; the three popular rate plans are: time-sharing, ladder pricing and comprehensive pricing.

Time-sharing: There are differences in prices in different time zones and at different times;

Ladder pricing: There are differences in prices within different step values;

Comprehensive pricing: combining the first two methods, here are divided into two ways;

a) Time-share pricing within the ladder price;

b) The ladder price in the time-sharing pricing.

All current calculations involving costs are unified into the cloud, and the cost calculation is based on rate plans and metering data with time stamps.

The above pricing method is only for the measurement of one type of data (electric energy). When the user needs to switch to another dimension (such as the maximum demand) for pricing, it is only necessary to simply switch the rate plan from the cloud. Extracting data from the storage file is complete.

The metering terminal rate calculation process shown in Figure 5a includes the following steps:

Step A1: setting time-sharing pricing;

Step A2: extracting each time period data with a time stamp;

Step A3: The magnitude of each time period is multiplied by the price, and the accumulation is completed to obtain the charging result.

The metering terminal rate calculation process shown in Figure 5b includes the following steps:

Step B1: setting the step range and price;

Step B2: extracting a settlement value with a time stamp;

Step B3: Calculate the price in stages.

The metering terminal rate calculation process shown in Figure 5c includes the following steps:

Step C1: setting a comprehensive pricing plan;

Step C2: extracting settlement data with time stamps;

Step C3: Calculate the price according to the comprehensive pricing plan.

The following describes the management of metering data in the cloud through the following two perspectives:

1) User APP:

a) Reasonably select electricity based on the electricity price plan.

Based on the time dimension, the electric energy data is extracted to find out which time periods the users use more electricity, and combined with the electricity price plan provided by the grid company, the electricity is reasonably selected.

b) Analyze the power usage of each household appliance.

Through the classification management of household electrical appliances, the power consumption of electrical appliances is visually analyzed, and the electricity consumption of household electrical appliances is analyzed year by year, and further problems such as aging of household electrical appliances can be learned.

c) Find hidden power masters in household appliances.

From the electricity consumption of the time period, some "hidden" electricity can be analyzed. In some time, the user does not feel that the electrical equipment is turned on. In fact, there is still electricity consumption, because the user forgets to turn off some electrical equipment, such as the television is in standby state. The set-top box is not turned off, and so on. Simply look, these devices don't consume much power, but if these devices work 24/7, they will consume more power, so some devices can be positioned as hidden power experts.

d) Based on the implementation of the call protection strategy.

When the electrical equipment is powered off again after power failure, if the electrical equipment is not effectively controlled in time, it is easy to cause a safety accident. For example, when the iron is used to iron the clothes, there is a sudden power outage. If the user turns to do other things and forgets to turn off the iron, after the power is turned on, it is very likely that a safety accident will occur due to unsupervised.

Based on the above situation, the home appliance device can be selectively protected from incoming calls, and the electrical device is not powered on when the incoming call is made, and the closing and powering of the electrical device is manually completed by the user, thereby achieving the purpose of safe use of electricity.

2) Refined grid management portal:

a) User theft analysis: compare user electricity data with year-on-year and month-on-month, analyze some typical calculations Quantity terminal alarm event;

b) Provide analysis of peak power consumption: analyze the power consumption of each line from the level of the line or transformer, provide orderly power and peak power, and achieve more efficient power management;

c) Provide line loss analysis: Calculate the loss of the line or transformer by calculating the total table data and the data of each part table, for management personnel to analyze, thereby optimizing the line;

d) Personalized user management: Different user services can be provided for different users.
