Fitch International: Smart Meter Annually Increases 109%

On the eve of May 20, the World Metrology Day, the reporter learned from the Marketing Department of the State Grid Corporation of China that the construction of the National Grid Corporation's smart meter application and power consumption information collection system is progressing in accordance with the safety, quality, and schedule control requirements. As of the end of April, the State Grid Corporation of China has cumulatively installed and used 83.52 million smart meters, and 88.5 million households have used electricity information collection systems. The relevant units have “strengthened their efforts” in control and construction, quality supervision, and troubleshooting. The electricity measurement is fair, just and open.

At present, the construction of the main collection system for the 27 provincial companies of the State Grid Corporation of China has been completed and put into operation. The collected data has been applied in various services such as meter reading fees, business audits, line loss analysis, industry expansion report equipment, fault repair, orderly electricity use, interactive services, power trading, distribution network operation, and power quality monitoring.

According to the relevant person in charge of the marketing department of the State Grid Corporation of China, since its full launch in 2009, the State Grid Corporation of China has promoted the construction of intelligent energy meter application and collection systems in accordance with the principle of “unified planning, unified standards, and unified implementation”, and has formulated and issued smart energy meters. The collection system has 36 technical standards, 35 related management documents and failures, which provide support and guarantee for construction operations and application management.

All units of the State Grid Corporation of China systematically report to the metrological management departments at all levels in accordance with the construction goals of “integrated authorization, automated verification, intelligent warehousing, and logistics distribution”, strengthen communication, consolidate and expand measurement authorization projects, and use measurement production. Information systems such as dispatching systems, implementation of informationized management over the entire life cycle of measurement assets, strengthening of closed-loop management measures with “power meter quality management” as the core, guaranteeing smooth development of “big marketing”, further enhancing testing and service capabilities, and enhancing intensive Level of specialization, automation and automation.

The State Grid Corporation of China has adopted a series of effective measures to ensure the quality and operational level of smart energy meter application and acquisition systems. State Grid Corporation of China has established a weekly summary and monthly notification mechanism to implement progress management on key links such as tendering and procurement, contract signing, inspection and acceptance, installation and commissioning, and project investment of all units, horizontally coordinating plans, materials and finances, and strengthening supplier performance. Control and control to ensure that construction progress is controlled, controlled, and controlled. In the aspect of project construction, the company has formulated and issued management methods to clearly specify the entire process management requirements for the establishment of system construction, construction, and acceptance.

In terms of quality supervision of smart energy meters, the State Grid Corporation of China issued the “Quality Supervision and Management Measures” and established a sound inspection and inspection system and index evaluation system. The strict comparison of the acceptance, comparison, and acceptance of the smart energy meter before, during, and after arrival Testing, implementation of product supervision and witnessing of key points to comprehensively prevent quality risk of smart energy meters; establishment of intelligent power meter operation quality fault reporting and joint investigation and analysis mechanism to ensure timely and effective processing, rapid and accurate cause judgment, and risk and scientific investigation Unqualified meter recall system.
