SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A LOW COST SMART METERING TECHNOLOGY FOR OFF-GRID APPLICATION

摘要

A smart metering system, comprising:a SBC is a local controlling and monitoring station device with RF modem to which energy metering devices with energy metering firmware are connected over RF mesh network. The energy metering device can be configured to measure consumption of number of consumers.a radio frequency (RF) modem connected to the single board computer (SBC) via a communication link, whereby the radio frequency (RF) communication link is further connected to a mesh network with a plurality of load control modules (LCMs);and an administrative software based user interface for administration which receives energy across a radio frequency (RF) mesh network, whereby a software interface is configured to interface between the administrative software and the energy metering firmware resulting in energy metering and load control device and the plurality of load control modules (LCMs) automatically disconnecting each load upon the consumer"s use exceeding the allocated energy quota and further automatically connecting the load to consumer for the user to pay the amount which is due.
