Substation Automation Systems

In substations, multifunctional power meters are widely used to monitor and control various electrical equipment. They can monitor operating parameters such as voltage, current, and power of transformers, circuit breakers, and disconnectors in real time, providing accurate equipment status information to substation operators and maintenance personnel. Communication with the substation automation system enables remote monitoring and automated operation of substation equipment, such as remote switching, fault alarms, and troubleshooting. This improves substation operational safety and management efficiency, and reduces the risks and errors associated with manual operation.

Industrial Automation

In industrial production, a large number of electrical equipment, such as motors, inverters, and welding machines, require precise power monitoring and control. Multifunctional power meters can monitor the power consumption of these devices in real time, providing detailed data support for enterprise energy management. By analyzing power consumption at each production stage, enterprises can formulate appropriate energy-saving measures, optimize production processes, reduce energy consumption, and improve production efficiency and economic benefits. Furthermore, in industrial automation control systems, multifunctional power meters can be used in conjunction with devices such as PLC controllers to achieve automated control and interlocking protection of power equipment, ensuring the safe and stable operation of industrial production processes.

Commercial Buildings and Smart Buildings

In commercial and smart buildings, multifunctional power meters are crucial for power system management and energy conservation. They provide real-time monitoring of various electrical devices within a building, including lighting, air conditioning, and elevator systems, compiling statistics on energy consumption by area and device, and providing accurate energy consumption reports to property management departments. Analysis of power consumption data can identify areas of energy waste and enable appropriate energy-saving measures, such as optimizing lighting control strategies and adjusting air conditioning operating parameters, to achieve energy-efficient operation of the building. Furthermore, multifunctional power meters can be integrated with building automation systems to enable remote monitoring and intelligent management of the building's power system, improving comfort and safety.

New Energy Power Generation Systems

With the rapid development of new energy generation technologies, such as solar photovoltaic and wind power, the application of multifunctional power meters in new energy power generation systems is becoming increasingly widespread. In renewable energy power stations, it can monitor the output power, voltage, current, and other parameters of power generation equipment in real time, evaluating and analyzing the operating status of the power generation system. By communicating with inverters, energy storage systems, and other equipment, it enables optimized control and energy management of renewable energy power generation systems, improving power generation efficiency and power quality, and ensuring the stable connection of renewable energy power to the grid.
