Solar Data Logger explained: What it does, why it matters, key features to look for and how SATEC metering solutions support accurate solar monitoring.

Electricity energy metering accuracy is an important step in ensuring data integrity. Anomalies in measurements can, over a period of time, create hundreds or thousands of dollars in errors.

SATEC meters have in-built embedded controllers to get the most out of your energy. SATEC meter’s Programmable Logic Controller allows for development of various applications, including Demand Response, also known as Load Shedding or Demand Side Participation. The following example uses a PM130EH PLUS meter for an Automatic Demand Response based on Maximum Demand (kW,Read more

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.

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.

Electrical power metering for load profiling provides customers with the ability to measure and monitor their power energy needs, taking control of their power usage. However, there are other features such as Event Logs that the power metering should provide to assist with diagnostics of the electrical system.

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.

SATEC’s release of the NMI approved EM133-XM eXpertmeter takes smart energy metering to a high-level design far exceeding any DIN energy meter products currently on the Australian Market.

Electricity energy meters for use in the Australian market must be Pattern Approved, this involves a process of assessing and testing the electricity energy meter to comply with metrology conditions per NMI M 6-1.

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.
