Abstract

Smart energy meters supporting bidirectional data communication enable novel remote error monitoring applications. This research targets characterization of the systematic worst-case error of the previously published remote watthour meter’s gain estimation method based on the comparison of synchronous measurements by the reference and meter under test. To achieve the research aim a methodology based on global maximization of the systematic error objective function assuming the typical low voltage electrical distribution network operation parameters ranges as defined by the standard recommendations for network design. To cross verify the reliability of the assessed solutions the suggested error analysis methodology was implemented utilizing two stochastic global extremum search techniques (genetic algorithms, pattern search) and the third one utilizing nonlinear programming solver. It was determined that the wattmeter adjustment gain worst-case error does not exceed 0.5% if the remote wattmeter monitored load power factor is larger than 0.1 and a network is designed according to the recommendation of the acceptable voltage drop less than 5%. For a load exhibiting power factor larger than cos φ = 0.9 the worst-case error was found to be less than 0.1%. It is concluded therefore that considering the systematic worst-case error the previously suggested remote wattmeter adjustment gain estimation method is suitable for remote error monitoring of Class 2 and Class 1 wattmeters.
