Remote Counter Reading Systems |
In the past, index values can only be read by going to the
point of counters, however today's technology has brought new opportunities for
index reading. Changing market conditions and new needs in the energy sector,
has led to challenging processes and practices. Remote counter reading system
was developed to meet the application requirements in the energy sector and it
gathers the remote automatic counter reading and data management functions in
the variety of energy applications. The system eliminates the need for data
collection that had to be done by going to the point of counter. By means of
flexible schedules of the counters, the index information can be read remotely
automatically based on programs for the certain days of the week / month, fixed
time intervals or continuously. Thanks to the scaling options of the remote
index management, the system makes it possible to read data from the number of
counters at the same time. Supported communication methods of the counters offer
a wide range of communication media which can be used easily. Remote counter
reading supports the common communication protocols regardless of the brand and
model. Its open architecture and interfaces between business systems and
counters serve as a bridge between them. Remote counter reading systems can be implemented for the
the applications as below; Automatic Counter Reading The progresses made in electronic counters for energy data
measuring and in communication opportunities provided by today's technology
make it possible to read data remotely from the measurement points. Remote
automatic counter reading solutions that we provide regardless of the brand and
model enables fast, efficient and flawless data collection without the need for
going to the site of counters. Storing the data of counters in real time and at
short intervals brings new opportunities of implementations easily, that was
not possible previously, in the energy sector. Data Analysis and Reporting Collected data from the automatic counter reading systems is
permanently recorded and can be analyzed in details by the tools we offer.
Reporting can be done by our tools that can be installed on users' computers
and through the intranet or internet using standard web browsers. The reports
prepared by our tools can be saved and outputs can be obtained in most of the
today’s standard document formats. Our tools that address a wide range of
clients from the energy producers to end-users are responding to the needs of
those clients in different roles. Balancing This solution that addresses the energy production companies
is based on the customers' energy consumption of the companies, their supply
amounts compared with the amount of their production, control of
production-consumption balance and the determination of status on the deficit
or surplus production. This analysis is carried out using the load profiles of
production and consumption counters recorded simultaneously and data collected
by our automatic counter reading. Billing We offer billing solutions for energy generation companies,
organized industrial zones and other distribution organizations that supply
energy to their consumers. Subscribers/customers, measurement points and
contracts can be managed, data forming the invoices can be data transferred to
other business systems, or invoices can be printed directly in our billing
system. Fault / Intervention Detection Fault and interventions of the counters are stored in the counter’s event recording memory and can be detected using remote counter reading system. Early detection of such incidents is of great importance in order to prevent financial losses. Lost & illegal use tracking Our solution appealing to companies which activate on transmission and distribution is based on comparison of the energy that enters into electricity grid and exits, load profiles of measurement points and analysis of total energy consumptions. Tracking the loss/illegal use points prevents the financial losses. Time Synchronization Data that shall be collected simultaneously from the
measuring devices directly affects the multi-application performance and
reliability of the results. Simultaneous reading of measuring devices is unable
to provide simultaneous data classification in the device memory, especially
when load profiles are considered. For that reason, tracking the
synchronization problems arising the from the setting errors of measurement
devices and from the natural drift errors and performing the time
synchronization automatically are becoming essential requirements, considering
the number of measurement points in the applications as well. Some of the references; ● The branch offices of Türkiye İş Bank ● Aron Transmission Co., Ltd. |
