What are the differences between smart meters and ordinary meters?
The differences between smart meters and ordinary meters are significant in several aspects, which are detailed below: I. Functional differences 1. Electric energy measurement function: Ordinary meters: only have electric energy measurement function, used to record user consumption. Smart meters : in addition to basic electric energy measurement function, also have remote meter reading, data storage, time-of-use metering, automatic control, electrical parameter measurement, and electrical information security protection functions. 2. Bi-directional measurement function: Ordinary meters: can only measure electricity consumption in one direction. Smart meters : add bi-directional measurement function, calculating active and reactive power consumption, as well as peak and valley metering functions. 3. Monitoring and management function: Ordinary meters: do not have electrical monitoring and metering information management functions. Smart meters : add electrical monitoring, meteri
