2013 Pingxiang will use 140,000 smart meters

As of March 12th, smart meters have been installed in more than 136,000 blocks in Pingxiang. It is expected that 146,000 smart meters will be fully installed and put into use this year, and the smart meters will be fully occupied within three years of Pingxiang's tens of thousands of households in order to achieve Smart meter "full collection, full coverage, full cost control" goal.

Since the end of 2010, Pingxiang Power Grid has started the transformation of smart meters. It is understood that the smart meter has "pulse", "trip", "infrared", "alarm" and other display buttons, indicating the "smart" status. The smart meter has high measurement accuracy, smart charge, real-time electricity price inquiry, power memory , meter reading time freeze, balance alarm, and to meet the actual needs of the two-way measurement, ladder electricity price, time-sharing electricity prices and other functions, as well as to prevent theft.

Pingxiang electricity customers as of now have nearly 146,000 households (because the new electricity customers report the installation, the number is increasing at any time), according to the Jiangxi Provincial Electric Power Company's plan, the transformation of smart meter will be completed in Pingxiang within three years. At that time, users can formulate their own electricity consumption plans according to the current electricity price level or the electricity usage situation in recent months, and recharge them in time according to the light flash alarm prompts to avoid the inconvenience caused by arrears and blackouts, so as to achieve clear consumption, planned electricity consumption, and effective The purpose of energy conservation.

"The smart recharge card will not be charged for the first time. In addition to the irresistible reasons, other personnel damages will only be paid for." Liu Shuangxi, deputy director of the marketing department of Pingxiang Power Supply Company, said, “Following the smart metering, the public’s electricity bill payment method will be paid after being used first, and then converted into electricity after paying the fees first. People who frequently travel on business will be charged early to avoid arrears. Power outages.” In the early days, smart meters will use smart recharge cards to purchase electricity. Citizens need only insert smart recharge cards that have already purchased electricity into smart meters. After the meter has been recharged, it can be used for electricity. In the future, with the development of smart grids, the payment of electricity bills will no longer be unfamiliar. As with today’s mobile prepaid fees, when the balance is insufficient, they will receive timely prompts; Electricity consumption and load eliminate the need for manual meter reading. The public can also formulate electricity plans by themselves.

In order to ensure smooth installation of smart meters, Pingxiang Power Supply Co., Ltd. strengthens the deployment and training of smart meter inspection personnel, optimizes the inspection process, implements standardized inspections, and optimizes the procedures between verification work and distribution work to ensure the storage, verification, and distribution of products. While the link is fluent, the progress of verification is reasonably arranged, the staffing is adjusted, and according to the construction schedule of each construction team, a daily metering and distribution plan is formulated. During the construction of the project, the on-site management and management of the project plan are strengthened, and the construction quality is strictly controlled.

The transformation and promotion of smart meters will greatly optimize Pingxiang's distribution network automation level, further improve the power supply infrastructure in Pingxiang City, and gradually solve the problem of the loss of old line power consumption and the arrears of sub-table users caused by the traditional meter mode. All users in the table suffered from blackouts and other disputes. At the same time, its use will rapidly find faulty sections and abnormal conditions, quickly isolate faulty sections, reduce power outages, shorten power outages to customers, and improve power supply reliability.
