Extended Application Study Of Smart Meters In Distribution Network

Smart meter is an intelligent terminal which can be used to measure, collect, store, analyze the information users of electricity. Through system-wide communication networks, Smart meter will link consumers and power utilities together and provide foundation for future distribution automation and other smart-grid functionalities.This paper introduces the historical development of smart meters and summarizes the technical features and content of intelligent distribution network. This paper analyzed the principles of smart meter-related hardware, given the principle of energy measurement and The basic application of smart meters. Compared with traditional meter, smart meters superior In many aspects.Smart meter data collected is not limited to the field of user measurement, this paper proposes load forecasting method based on smart meter in distribution network.Instead of using measurements on the feeder, the method adopts the total users of electricity which Reflect the real load information. Simulation results showed that the proposed scheme using support vector machine regression method with load forecasting has good performance.
