Portable Meter Test Equipment - a new modular system
For many years electricity utility companies have realised the importance of performing measurements and tests on-site at the metering installation. The meter test equipment industry continually supplies and develops new and improved products that reduce an...
Across Europe, countries are under pressure to use energy more efficiently to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using green methods of generation. This means energy suppliers are developing home-based micro generation (micro combined heat and power) and photovoltaic (PV) panels as well as other ...
Advanced meters: Essential components of sustainable energy systems
The three main drivers of the European Union (EU) energy policy are climate change and sustainable development, security of supply, and competitiveness. As far as climate change is concerned, the EU has agreed under the Kyoto protocol to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 8% be...
Measuring harmonic energy with a solid-state energy meter
In recent years, the energy metering industry has slowly adopted electronic solutions to replace the century-old electromechanical technology. The advantages of electronic solutions are numerous. First, they bring the industry into the digital age, and enab...
Liberalisation of energy markets has led to tremendous growth in message exchange between existing and new market players – system and network operators, data collectors and so on. The increase in the number of consumer groups that have free choice of...
Iskraemeco: system solutions for competitive energy markets
Iskraemeco, manufacturers of energy measurement and management devices for the energy sector, has been involved with AMR systems for industry for more than 20 years. In the past few years Iskramatic SEP has been significantly adapted to meet the new requirements of modern deregulated...
Latching relays are key components in energy management applications such as tariff switching, load shedding and prepayment. GRUNER has shipped more than 30 million latching relays, and many manufacturers of energy management equipment choose GRUNER relays.
The future of AMR or why you better brush up on your Mandarin
The AMR business today is concentrated in western countries with deregulated energy markets. And the growth in this business, while quite spectacular (currently in the range of 15-20% per annum) is a reflection of the deployment of AMR systems, not the growth of metering points in th...
The Egyptian Electricity Sector - History and present status
Electricity was introduced in Egypt in 1893. Generation and distribution were privately owned and operated for about 70 years, until nationalisation took place in 1962. At that stage the private owners had built only 3000 MW, but since then the Ministry of Electricity has added 13,000 MW, thus co...
Over the past few years, the electromechanical energy meter market has undergone a rapid overhaul, turning to electronics to meet the demands of both providers and consumers. The adoption of electronic components enables energy providers to take advantage of new technologies to implement sophisti...
Working groups of the DLMS User Association make an essential contribution to the success of DLMS/COSEM. Because of the growing membership of the DLMS UA, the new implementations and the increasing market presence of DLMS/COSEM-based systems, the working group 'Maintenance' is very active these days.
Landis+Gyr Inc. has launched its newest mass-market residential meter platform – a low-cost, solid state kWh-only meter known as FOCUS™. The meter design will accommodate modular AMR communications, a KYZ-option output board or integrated (shared circuit board) AMR solutions.
