Smart meter coverage rushes into the water meter remote meter reading is still a breakthrough

[China Instrument Network Instrument Depth] Recently, the State Grid issued a document requesting the promotion of the country's own national payment platform "electric e treasure", and establish "electric e treasure" online to pay the dominant position of electricity charges. Among them, the document mentioned that "considering the closure of the third-party electricity bill payment interface" was controversial. A large number of users and people in the industry have condemned the "monopoly" of the State Grid. After being rumored by the relevant authorities, a farce came to an end. However, the curiosity caused by Xiao Bian is, what is the coverage of the electricity meters that can be connected to the Internet? Can make a paper file provoke a wave of waves?

Compared with traditional electricity meters, smart meters are more accurate in metering, and they have the advantages of electricity price inquiry, power memory, smart charge, balance alarm, and remote transmission of information, which make it highly favored and quickly occupy a huge market. According to statistics, in 2015, the number of smart meter users in China exceeded 140 million. In the future, the two major power grid companies will aggregate more than 16 billion yuan in the annual market for smart meters and electricity management systems. New users will be replaced with smart meters.

With the continuous progress of the smart grid process, the "table-changing actions" in various localities are also underway. With the efforts of all parties, nationwide smart meter upgrades have achieved initial results. The first million smart meter project in Sanhe, Hebei, has started, and it is expected to cover the entire city in 2016; Shaanxi local power starts the task of replacing 1.3 million smart meters, and it is expected to achieve the goal of 50% coverage in the Guanzhong region; Henan will invest 70 billion yuan in reconstruction. Rural Network expects to achieve full coverage of smart meters by 2020. In the future, the market demand for the smart meter industry in China will be even more robust with higher coverage.

Not only that, the concept of energy conservation, emission reduction, and green manufacturing has gradually become popular, which has greatly promoted the development of the smart meter industry at home and abroad. According to relevant reports, by the end of 2020, the global sales growth of low-voltage smart meters is expected to increase from the current 35.4% to 45.7%. Western countries have also begun to actively deploy smart metering projects. Honeywell had just won more than 1 million smart meters in the Netherlands earlier this month. Eltel will cooperate with metrology manufacturers to deploy millions of smart meter projects in and around Copenhagen. .

From this point of view, smart meters have gradually entered every household, affecting people's daily lives. If the State Grid compulsorily changes the way to pay electricity bills online, it will inconvenience residents' lives.

The curious Xiaobian also thought that the seemingly intelligent water meter was not as powerful as the “running up action” of the meter in the promotion. What is the current coverage rate?

Compared to the speed of changing the meter, the smart meter is far behind. Affected by many factors such as the installation environment and the measurement medium, it is more difficult for the water meter to realize precise metering like a smart meter. The long-term operation of the smart water meter in the wet, rust and other environments, resulting in the electronic control module is prone to failure. There are also differences between the water quality in the north and the south, and the detection indicators for surface water and groundwater are also not the same, resulting in the inability to establish a unified technical route and standard. The smart meter products developed by different companies cannot communicate and have a serious impact on coverage.

However, Xiao Bian wants to say that although the pace of development is slow, there is no need to lose confidence in the smart meter industry. At present, more and more stakeholders are beginning to recognize the "reef" that the industry has developed and touched, while strengthening the research and development of design, measurement technology and reliability test methods for high-performance ultrasonic water meters, electromagnetic water meters, and remote water meters. At the same time, the "Smart Water Metering Technology Working Group" was set up to promote the construction of the water metering industry's technical standard system, the development of the need for standards, and the study of key technologies in the industry.

Xiao Bian concludes that the benefit of urbanization rate is increasing year by year, and the hydropower meter networking intelligence is unstoppable. As far as the current coverage rate is concerned, the development of smart water meters has lagged behind that of electric meters, but after all, the difficulties to overcome are even more. According to the latest data, the production and sales volume of most of the water meter companies in 2015 have both increased by more than double digits, so the smart meter market has begun to show encouraging growth.

During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, smart meters are expected to achieve full coverage, and smart meter revenues account for 40% of all meter revenues. To achieve this goal requires all parties to cooperate and work together, let us expect the industry will develop better and better.
