Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming an important component in the modern electric network. These systems are often combined on-site with renewable energy sources for storing energy during peak production or low demand, and releasing the stored energy during peak demand.

The new Power of Choice (PoC) reforms implemented within Australia work to provide benefit to consumers combined with the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) expanding competition in metering and related services review.

SATEC’s eXpertmeter EM133-XM-HACS is the 1st DIN meter approved by the National Measurement Institute (NMI) to be used for three (3) Single-Phase Smart-Meters in a single compact unit!

SATEC, an innovative supplier of power quality analysers and software serving the electrical utility, industrial and commercial markets announces the addition of a powerful Digital Fault Recorder (DFR) to the capabilities of its model BFM-II Second-Generation Branch Feeder Monitor.

Electrical energy power metering designs vary with capabilities such as accuracy compliance, sampling rates, harmonic measurements and algorithm calculations, just to name a few. It is important to continuously monitor the harmonic levels to ensure they are not exceeding certain limits.

Advancements in power metering include features such as interval data logging. These features enhance the functionality of the power metering deployed when interval data logging functions are supported, allowing automatic capture and storage of data on board the device.

There is a barrier to connectivity to electrical metering data. This is due to 50 year old technology often referred to as a ‘High Level Interface’ or HLI.

Electricity meters come in many forms. Understanding features and capabilities, as well as the requirements of an application, can ensure that today’s meter will meet tomorrow’s requirements.
