Power Consumption Information Management System Oriented To Smart Meters

With the development of smart grid, smart meters receive the unprecedented attention as the smart grid infrastructure. The most prominent advantage of smart meters compared with traditional meters is the function of two-way communication. Advanced metering infrastructure(AMI) is a comprehensive system for the measurement, collection, storage, analysis and manage the information of using power, which is constructed under this background. AMI is one of the important mark in smart grid. AMI system consists of three sub-systems as follows smart meters, two-way communication network and meter data management system.This article designed power information management system oriented to smart meters to achieve this thought.This paper summarized the development process,results and status of the technology related to smart meters in home and abroad. Pointed out the meaning for building the power information management system oriented to smart meters and analysised its application prospects in smart grid construction. First of all, analysis the user side device which inculding smart meters and intelligent interactive terminals.Explored smart meters application in smart grid based on analysis its principles and fuction.Studied the function and characteristics of intelligent ineractive terminals which as the interaction platform between system and users. Then resarched the smart meter communication networks,in which focuses on the application of the fiber to the home and the thing networking. On this basis,constructed a general framework of the power information management system oriented to smart meters.Take the smart meters as the core,designed the database of the information of the users and the price releasing management.In the end,designed system functional modules including purchase order management,price publishing,message management,task management,statistical analysis and so on using the object-oriented programming method.The development enviroment of system master software is the .NET platform which is widely used current. Using SQL Server 2000 develop the database server. Using VB language design the presentation and logic layer. Developed the power information management system oriented to smart meters,achieved the expected function of the system.
