What is Renewable Energy Meter?
Renewable Energy Meter , which refers toanc energelectrimeter that mmeasures the amount ofrenbeingegeneratedwer generation. Different types of renewable energy power generation require very different measurement the products, so renewable energy meter is customized according to different application needs. Renewable energy includes solar energy, water energy, wind energy, biomass energy, wave energy, tidal energy, ocean temperature difference energy, geand moreermal energsources ofetc. Commonincluder power generation are mainly hydropower, solar energy, and wind energy. Hyreftopowtheprocessr generation isstation ofThesecall hydropower stations. They are large-scale projects that are directly connectedfor th ofeo the grid. There is no need to use special renewable energy meters in this power generation process.
Today, we will be focusing on introducing the framework logic for solar power generation and wind power generation as well as discussing the application of renewable energy meters.
Wind energy refers to the energy that is carried by the wind. The magnitude of wind energy is determined by the combination of wind speed and air density. Suitable locations for wind power generation include open plains, islands, coastal areas, etc. Wind turbines can be easily divided into two categories: small wind turbines for household use and larger ones for commercial purposes. The power generated by small wind turbines is approximately AC 13V to 25V. The technical requirements for measuring renewable energy meters for small wind power generation are relatively low, but they also need to be customized. Our conventional meters with a voltage of around 220V cannot be used in this application scenario. A renewable energy meter that is suitable for measuring low voltage needs to be customized. The power generated by large wind turbines is AC 690V, which requires a customized high-voltage renewable energy meter.
AC 13V~25V and AC 690V are not commonly used voltage specifications, so they cannot be used directly. Additionally, the output of wind power generation is determined by the wind's size, which causes the power supply to be unstable. There is a process of conversion and stabilization between wind power generation and household and industrial use. The electric energy generated by the wind motor needs to be rectified and stored in a battery, and then the inverter outputs to the 3*230/400V power supply needed for daily production and life. In distributed generation of wind power, renewable energy meters capable of bidirectional metering are required.
Solar energy refers to the energy that is loaded by the sun. The intensity and duration of sunlight determine the efficiency of solar power generation. Solar power generation can be applied in various environments. It is easy to install and requires a low investment. It is the most widely used method for generating renewable energy power. The power directly generated by solar photovoltaic panels is in the form of direct current, and the voltage of a single panel ranges from tens to hundreds of volts. It is typically connected in a series with several hundred volts and outputs them all at once. According to the customer's measurement point location needs, a renewable energy meter suitable for solar power generation - a DC meter can be customized. Solar power generation is affected by changes in sunlight and weather throughout the day, causing it to fluctuate and become unstable. In conventional solutions, batteries are equipped to ensure the continued stability of power output. The energy is then converted into daily production using an inverter. The power supply required for life is 3 * 230 / 400 V. In solar distributed power generation, renewable energy meters that can perform bidirectional metering are necessary.
Renewable energy meters are primarily utilized to measure the process of generating renewable energy power, as well as the electricity consumption at the end-user level for operational and sales purposes. The process monitoring of various types of renewable energy power generation necessitates the utilization of diverse renewable energy meters with varying features and specifications. It primarily monitors the operating status of power generation, power generation efficiency during specific intervals, system losses, and other related factors. In addition to measuring parameters, remote monitoring is necessary. Communication for real-time collection of data. Terminal electricity metering is primarily utilized by users to calculate fees based on their electricity usage. As a metering and billing product that involves people's livelihood issues, this type of renewable energy meter needs to undergo testing and certification by government agencies before it can be sold.
