  1. Metering & Data Processing

  2. 1. WHAT IS METER ? A device which measures, indicates and records certain measurable quantity. 2. WHAT IS ENERGY METER ? A device which measures, indicates and records electrical power flow (energy) in a specified time between two points. 3. Pre Requisites of a Meter Purpose : Catering to Commercial needs Futuristic : Catering to forceable needs Reliable : Repeatability Accurate : Good amount of money at stake

  3. Classification of meters • Interface Meter : Installed at interconnecting points between • Generating company to Inter-state system • Generating company to Intra-state system • covered under ABT 2. ConsumerMeter : Electrical utility to consumer not covered under INTERFACE meters 3. Energy Accounting and Audit Meters : Used between Gen Stns to different segments of electrical system determines • Consumption of power • Loss Our focus is on SEMs which are interface meters

  4. SEMs related clause in IEGC 21. The CTU shall install special energy meters on all inter connections between the regional entities and other identified points for recording of actual net MWh interchanges and MVArh drawals. The installation, operation and maintenance of special energy meters shall be in accordance with Central Electricity Authority (Installation and Operation of Meters) Regulations, 2006. All concerned entities (in whose premises the special energy meters are installed) shall take weekly meter readings and transmit them to the RLDC by Tuesday noonThe SLDC must ensure that the meter data from all installations within their control area are transmitted to the RLDC within the above schedule.

  5. SEMs related clause in IEGC • 22. The RLDC shall be responsible for computation of actual net injection / drawal of concerned regional entities, 15 minute-wise, based on the above meter readings. The above data along with the processed data of meters shall be forwarded by the RLDC to the RPC secretariat on a weekly basis by each Thursday noon for the seven day period ending on the previous Sunday mid-night, to enable the latter to prepare and issue the Unscheduled inter-change (UI) account in accordance with the CERC( Unschesduled Interchange charges and related matters) Regulations,2010……….

  6. What is Special Energy Meter(SEM)? SEM is an Application specific Microprocessor base solid state energy meter. This together with a data collecting device (DCD) and a local Computer forms a powerful system of metering and data logging. This arrangement of metering and data logging gives a unique method for measurement of all relevant electrical quantities.

  7. Why metering is required? ABT, three part tariff : • Capacity charge (a) • Energy charge / Scheduled Energy charges (b) • Adjustment for deviation/ Unscheduled Interchanges (c) Total payment for the day = a + b (+/-) c Reason of metering

  8. What is Metering? • Meter data handling • Converting meter data into useful information • Feeder wise • Station wise • State wise • Region wise Its a challenging task for the utilities due to huge volume of data logged by these meters

  9. Area covered by meters • ISGS • Sub Stations • ICTS • Feeders • Any other drawl or injection points spread over the state, region and the country as a whole

  10. Metering Management Initial/one time activities • Choose the category of meter • Selection of meter • Installation of meters in strategic locations • Deciding status of meters as Main, Check and Stand-by meters Periodic/maintenance activities • Maintaining healthiness • Periodic checking • Time correction • Periodic testing • Replacement of meter (as and when required) Regular/routine activities • Collection of data • Transmittal of data to a central location for processing • Processing meter data into useful information • Archiving final processed data

  11. Special Energy Meter (SEM)

  12. Features of Special Energy Meter(SEM) • Works on 3 phase 4 wire principle • Static meter • Working voltage of 63.5V • Accuracy class of 0.2 • Show time stamping • Measures: • Average frequency • Net active energy transmitted in 15 mins block wise • Daily reactive energy transmitted in high / low voltage conditions

  13. SEM Technical Specifications • Standard : IEC-687 / IEC-62053-22 • Accuracy Class : 0.2 • Interface (Compatible with DCD) : With RS 485 • Reference Voltage(Vref) : 110V.(P-P) • Rated Current : 5A or 1A. • Operating Voltage : +20% to -30% of Vref. • Operating Current : 0.2% to 200% of Rated current

  14. Types of SEM SEMs are of following two types : A-TYPE : Connected to VT having rated secondary line-line voltage of 110V and CT having rated secondary current of 1A. B-TYPE: Connected to VT having rated secondary line-line voltage of 110V and CT having rated secondary current of 5A. It operates with power drawn from the secondary circuits and no auxiliary power supply required.

  15. Operating section of (SEM) a) Analog Section: High precision Current transformer and voltage transformer step down input currents and voltages which are fed to an Analog to Digital converter. b) Digital Section: A powerful microprocessor controls the Analog and Digital sections. Analog to Digital converters are fed from high precision instrument transformers. The Digital samples from Analog to Digital converter are used to process the metering data. The sampling rate is 3000 samples per second which gives the meter an exceptional accuracy and results. c) Power supply Section: A switch mode power supply (SMPs) unit supplies power to the meter’s internal circuit.

  16.

  23. Location of Meters • Metering arrangement for POWERGRID lines. On POWERGRID lines, unless an end is regional energy accounting point, an Energy Meter is provided only at one end of each line. The readings recorded by these meters are being used for information and analysis only, and not for the energy accounting purposes.

  24. Measurement principle of SEM • Net Wh Transmittal during each successive 15-min time block up to second decimal, with plus/minus sign. • Cumulative Wh transmittal at each midnight in 6-digits including one decimal • It works in real time with the help of an in-built clock. • Average frequency of 15 mins block as 2 digit code ( 00 to 99 ) Actual freq = 49 + ( 2digit code / 50 ) e.g. If, SEM shows 2 digit code of 55 as frequency code, The actual frequency = 49 + (55 / 50) = 50.1 Hz • Cumulative VARh transmittal for high voltage condition at each midnight ( V > 103% of Rated Voltage) • Cumulative VARh transmittal for low voltage condition at each midnight (V < 97% of rated Voltage) • Data for Time blocks of failure of VT supply on any phase has a star mark as prefix.

  25. Special Energy Meter (SEM) • Each meter has an optical port to access data stored in its memory. Hand held data collection device (DCD) are used as an interface between the meters and the PC • Meters can store 10 days data. Data downloaded in coded form (*.MRI, *.DAT) and is converted to Text file (*.NPC) through software SMARTGRID/ VINCOM. • Each day data, is of the following form • Meter no Watt hr Var – High Var – Low Date • NP–4201–A 63895.0 97845.8 74358.6 12 – 10 - 07 • Meter no is of nine character starting with NP and A or B at the end indicates the type of CT used. • Any voltage problem is indicated by a star “*” mark preceding the energy data.

  31. Processing, Checking & Validation of SEM data

  32. Data processing of SEM data • Raw data is sent to RLDCs every week by Tuesday noon from sites through e-mail. • Raw data is converted to text files. • All text files are appended to a single text file. • Korba end SEM is used as master frequency meter. • Actual energy is calculated by a software as per configured fictitious meter. • Daily Output MWh pertaining to drawal/injection/IR exchange is created. • Daily Regional output file for the week period is created. • Regional loss is calculated after processing. • RLDCs send processed SEM data to respective RPCs.

  33. Data checking & Validation Identification of any metering error can be done through three broad categories of checks. • End1- End 2 (using pair check) • Net bus check of Generators using Kirchhoff’s law. • Net bus check of substations using Kirchhoff’s law. Checks are also carried out to ascertain time drift in the meters with reference to Master meter.
