Submetering Technology and Applications
Abstract
Today’s submetering equipment, both hardware and software,
can provide much more than a simple reading of energy consump-
tion. Enhancements in all areas of submetering are available to supply
an abundance of valuable data to the user. These data can be readily
utilized for advanced billing applications, power quality analysis, load
control, and energy management.
As a complement to the submetering hardware, advanced AMR
software can increase the flexibility and value of the energy data gath-
ered. Through use of aggregated readings and remotely accessed data,
the user can be positioned to lower energy usage and costs
