Analysis of Future Energy Development Prospects: Smart Meters as the Next Breakthrough Point

Electricity consumption is higher than before, and there may be several factors:

(1) With the continuous acceleration of urban and rural power grid transformation in recent years, the quality of the power grid has improved compared with before the transformation, the original low voltage situation has completely changed, the lights are brighter than before, the electrical equipment can also work normally, and the electricity consumption has naturally increased accordingly.

(2) When the power supply company reads the meter, it is actually the electricity used in the previous month, not the electricity bill used in the month of payment, because the electricity consumption time of some households during the Spring Festival increases compared with usual, and the increase in electricity equipment will also cause the increase in electricity, and the power supply company in order not to affect customers to celebrate the Spring Festival during the Spring Festival holiday, so the meter reading time of some customers is delayed, and the power supply company also forms an inflated increase in electricity.

(3) The original mechanical energy meter used was to use a turntable to measure electrical energy, first of all, there was a shortage in accuracy in the calculation of electrical energy; Secondly, the longer the mechanical watch is used, the frictional resistance of the turntable gradually increases, which is equivalent to the meter moving slower and slower; Especially in the case of low electricity load, less or no walking.

(4) Due to the high sensitivity of the electronic energy meter, when the household appliances in the home are in standby mode, the internal components are still working normally, and the electronic energy meter has to calculate the electricity, which often makes everyone misunderstand that the electricity consumption is not much and the power is too large. Therefore, it is recommended that you unplug household appliances that have not been used for a long time to save electricity.

(5) At present, most of the household decoration wires are not installed standardly, and the wires and other materials do not meet the technical requirements, and the quality is low, resulting in leakage and increased electricity consumption.

(6) There are other users stealing electricity.
