Recently mechanical watt-hour meters are being replaced by electronic watt-hour meters. The replacement period of mechanical watt-hour meters is 7 years. This period is based on long term historical data. The replacement period of electronic watt-meters is also 7 years. This period is determined using the replacement period of mechanical watt-hour meters. However lifetime of mechanical watt-hour meters is different from the lifetime of electronic meters. In order to determine desirable replacement period of electronic watt-hour meters, accelerated life tests of major components in electronic watt-hour meters were performed. The test results showed that LCD was the component which had the shortest lifetime. In this paper, lifetime of electronic watt-hour meters manufactured by 3 company was estimated and life test standard for LCD was developed.

This paper develops an ADWHM(Advanced Digital Watt-Hour Meter) which integrates and implements the voltage management data record function and the load management data record function in the electronic watt-hour meter. ADWHM is developed based on PIC16F874 which is 8bit micro-controller of RISK type for the easy of programing and maintenance, and electronic power signal processing module is located at front of it to reduce the computing load of processor. Also, a 16kbyte EEPROM is used to record the voltage management data and load management data for a week as well as watt-hour data and USART communication mode is used to transfer data from ADWHM to PC. The accuracy of the voltage and unt measuring for ADWHM is verified by identifying the LCD display values of the ADWHM after the voltage signals of id levels from digital function generator is applied to PT(Potential Transformer) and CT(Current Transformer) output under state which it is separated from real power line. On the its basic functions such as watt-hour data recording function, voltage management data recording function and load management data recording function was verified by showing data for three days among the collected data to PC by RS232C communication from ADWHM which was connected to real power lines for a week.

Owing to the consistent increase in accurate analysis issue for energy consumption of the AC electric railway systems, there is controversy about the adequacy of the present watt-hour metering configuration. Due to the unusual load characteristics and facilities, the discussions have not been active. Therefore, in order to achieve more accurate watt-hour metering for AC electric railway system, this paper proposes numerical formulas for watt-hour metering that reflects the highly-varying characteristics of the railway load and the structural characteristics of the Scott transformer. The proposed formulas have been verified by comparison with site-measured data, and a more suitable metering configuration for AC railway system has been proposed.

본 논문에서는 스마트미터의 북미 국제표준인 ANSI C12.22에서 정의하는 C12.22 노드의 응용계층 프로토콜을 구현하였다. ANSI C12.22에서는 OSI 7 계층 중에서 응용계층만을 정의하고 있다. 정보전송에 필수 요소인 1~4 계층은 기존에 사용되고 있는 프로토콜을 사용할 것을 권고하고 있으며, 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 통상적으로 사용되고 있는 TCP/IP 프로토콜을 전송계층 및 네트워크계층 프로토콜로 사용하였다. ANSI C12.19에서는 전력량계에 사용되는 파라미터들을 규정하고 있으며, C12.22 응용계층은 이 전력량계 파라미터들을 네트워킹하기 위한 최소한의 네트워크 서비스와 데이터 구조들을 정의하고 있다. 이러한 서비스와 데이터 구조들은 네트워킹된 전력량계를 설정, 프로그래밍, 모니터링하거나 전력량계의 정보를 수집할 목적으로 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 C12.22 응용계층을 소프트웨어로 구현하기 위해 임베디드 보드를 사용하였고, 기능 테스트를 위해서 AMI 응용서버 역할을 하는 테스트 프로그램을 동시에 개발하였다.

This paper proposes a DRMS(Distribution Remote Management System) which can enhance highly the economics of automatic metering system and the power quality supplied to the electric customer improving the efficiency of the meter reading, voltage management and load management work by realizing the remote meter reading, the remote voltage management and the remote load management based on the ADWHM(Advanced Digital Watt Hour Meter). The DRMS is designed so that the voltage management and load management work in remote site can be processed by collecting the voltage pattern and current pattern as well as watt hour data from all ADWHMs one time every month regularly or from special ADWHMS several time irregularly, A new on-line voltage and load management strategy based on the ADWHM is designed by analyzing the existing voltage management and load management process. Also, DRMS is designed so that watt-hour data, voltage pattern data, load pattern data and power factor data can be collected selectively according to the selection of user to assist effectively the methodology. Remote management program and database of the DRMS are implemented based on Visual C++, MFC and database library of MS. Also, DRMS is designed so as to communicate with the ADWHM using RS232C-TCP/IP converter and ADSL. The effectiveness of the remote metering function is proven by collecting and analyzing the data after ADWHMs installed in any site. The developed strategy and program also is verified through the simulation of voltage management and load management.

An electronic watt-hour meter with high-precision measurement technology can provide many valuable metering data of a real-time system measurements, such as per-phase voltage, ampere, active power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor, and system frequency. Also many of accumulated metering data such as active energy, reactive energy, apparent energy, and load profile can be gettable from an electronic watt-hour meter[1]. This paper presents an approach of the small-sized AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) that provides customers with a very valuable electrical service. This AMR service transmits lots of a valuable metering data by using ZigBee communication module, so that users resided in their premises can use the information to audit a power quality and improve their electrical conditions by using the PQ monitoring device equipped with ZigBee receiver. This PQ monitoring device shows metering data on LCD and transmits to the PC through an internal network. Also, the device can keep the valuable meter data into a built-in non-volatile memory. The final goal of this paper is to better understand the power quality of electrical systems and offer the power qualify information for the convenience of all power consumers.

With the development of Computer & Communication Technology, nowadays many people are interested in remote metering, and many vendors are suggesting various remote metering solutions. KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) adopts some of these to some customers who uses a lot of electric power, also continues researching them. But, currently used electronic watt-hour meters vary in terms of communication protocol and data structure by the vendors. So we have to know each vendor's communication protocol and data structure to construct a remote metering system, or to find problems in it. But that's impossible to know each vendor's protocol and data structure because they are reluctant to tell those to outside the company. To solve these problems and to make a much more cost-effective metering system, KEPCO developed standard communication protocol between meters and PC (or metering server), and defined standard functions and data structure which can be used by everyone easily. Those developments support standard interface for every vendors' meters. And Those will be adopted by KEPCO for a part of a new metering standard for electronic watt-hour meters.
