In the smart grid era, conventional electromechanical meters will be replaced by electronic energy meters. There are concerns from consumers on potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) that may affect the accuracy of readings taken from these electronic energy meters.
More often consumers are complaining about the energy bill after the conventional electromechanical meter has been replaced by an electronic, or static, energy meter. Active infeed converters for photo-voltaic systems are a known source for interference to static meters. To investigate the root cause experiments on static meters have been performed in a controlled lab environment. Three-phase meters showed large deviations of more than 250% and-46%. After dismantling it was revealed that the meters with the positive deviation used a Rogowski coil current sensor. The meter with a Hall effect-based current sensor gave the-46% deviation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
