Description

Automatic KWH meter control system

Affiliated technical field

The present invention relates to ammeter centralized management, automatic monitored control system, specifically is a kind of automatic KWH meter control system that is applicable to electric system to the ammeter centralized management.

Background technology

The ammeter management is that a power supply department is concerned about and pretty troublesome thing very much always.Traditional counting cost by gas meter and supervision of power consumption all are to be checked meter to the user scene and checked by the special messenger, and collected ammeter data is aggregated into power supply department, and power supply department is again according to the relevant regulations charge of drawing a bill.So both needed a large amount of personnel that copy and accept, labour intensity is big, and efficient is low, the human error may occur again, produces some unnecessary social influences, also influences the corporate image of power supply department simultaneously.At present both at home and abroad meter reading method mainly contains three kinds of manual metering, pre-payment and automatic data loggings.Manual metering is each ammeter reading to be checked meter to on-the-spot by the meter reading personnel, the ammeter data of copying is taken back power supply department handle, and reinforms the user and pays dues; Prepayment mode is that the user arrives first power supply department and purchases electricity in advance, and power supply department writes certain dielectric card with purchasing electric weight, and the data that will be contained corresponding electric weight by user oneself are sent in the ammeter of oneself by card, finishes the process of the back electricity consumption of paying dues earlier; Automatic meter reading system (working range generally is limited in the platform district) can be divided into bus mode, short-range radio (hereinafter to be referred as RF) mode and power line carrier (hereinafter to be referred as PLC) mode according to employed technology difference.

Bus mode mainly adopts the RS485 bus.Because the RS485 bus mode must all be connected respectively on the concentrator by each ammeter of electricity consumption bundle of lines in use, by telephone wire (or other communication modes) ammeter data that is collected is passed to computer management system by concentrator again, constitute Automatic meter reading system (hereinafter to be referred as AMR).Because ammeter quantity is very big, line is more between ammeter and the concentrator, need connect up specially in corridor, installs to system and has brought bigger difficulty and workload; Simultaneously, increased more joint, after being easy to generate reliability, particularly time that loose contact influence checks meter and having grown, the loose contact phenomenon is more serious, has increased the maintenance workload of system greatly.In addition, the electric wire that is installed in the corridor suffers artificial destruction easily, influences the operate as normal of kilowatt meter reading-out system.The existence of these problems has restricted a large amount of uses of RS485 bus Automatic meter reading system.

The PLC mode is directly to utilize line of electric force to transmit data as communication line, does not need rewiring, has significantly reduced installation workload, and it is comparatively convenient to install and use.But owing to have many uncertain disturbing factors on the line of electric force, particularly characteristic impedance and harmonic component random variation are bigger, the reliability and the efficient that have influenced communication greatly are (slower as data rate, the communication that the long period section may occur is stopped up), can't really accomplish two-way effective communication, the increase of function and the expansion of range of application have been influenced, has only the most basic meter-reading function at present, efficient is lower (in order to avoid disturbing, improve communication efficiency, generally all be chosen in night) as checking meter the time.

The RF mode is to utilize public radio frequency range (ISM band) to carry out data communication, and the communication efficiency height is installed simple, easy to use.But because the space Electromagnetic Interference is bigger, particularly barrier stops situation at random, and transmit power limited has directly influenced transmission range, uses less at present at home.The situation contrast of three kinds of modes of Automatic meter reading system is as shown in the table.

The Automatic meter reading system situation table of comparisons:

The communication feature mode	Bus	Short-distance wireless	Line of electric force carries
The communication feature mode	Bus	Short-distance wireless	Line of electric force carries	Speed/efficient	High	Higher	Low
Installation/maintenance work	Greatly	Little	Little	Speed/efficient	High	Higher	Low
Installation/maintenance work	Greatly	Little	Little	Reliability/real-time	Good	Generally	Difference
Pattern	Two-way	Two-way	Accurate two-way	Reliability/real-time	Good	Generally	Difference

From situation about using both at home and abroad at present, it is more that external developed regions employing RF mode and PLC mode are checked meter, and the more of manual metering and prepayment mode adopted in the low developed area.
