INTRODUCTION
Smart meter is an advanced energy meter that

measures consumption of electrical energy

providing additional information compared to a
conventional energy meter.

METERING ARCHITECTURES

FUNCTIONS
Energy measurement,
Demand measurement,
Communication demand,
Tariff intervals and control,
Events and load record,
Power theft,
Display,
Clock and time calibration,

Data memorizing,
Resetting,

DESIGN ISSUES

CHALLENGES OF DATA TRANSFER

COMPONENTS

Single-chip microcomputer,
Current and voltage sampling circuit,
Energy meter power circuit,
Data memorizing circuit,
ESAM module,
IC card connection port circuit,
LCD display circuit,
Relay control circuit,
Communication port,
Real time clock circuit,
Button switch circuit.

CONTROLLING CHIP
Single-chip microcomputer like UPD78F1166,
High quality,
Low power consumption,

FLASH memorizer,
Low power consumption,
Double serial port,
The 16 route 1O digits A/D,
2 route 8 digits D/A,
Built-in on-power resetting circuit and
Low voltage drop detecting circuit.

ENERGY MEASUREMENT
CIRCUIT
Three phase measurement chip like ADE7878,

High accuracy,
High efficiency,
Requirement of multiple parameter measurement,

Measurement of harmonic power energy and

Precision of measurement.

ESAM MODULE
To realize the function of tariff control,
The authentification and information exchange

between the energy meter and CPU is actually the

authentification and information exchange between
the ESAM module in the energy meter and CPU card.
In respect to encryption authentification, the singlechip microcomputer UPD78F1166 and the CPU card
connection port are used only for data transmission

DATA MEMORIZING CIRCUIT

Memory storing devices like 34kbit EEPROM ,

32Mbit FLASH and

stable 256Kbit F-RAM,
For huge program,
Big data amount,

Memorizing function under power failure and

Meter reading speed is ensured.

LCD DISPLAY CIRCUIT

Display units like PCF8576CT
Display includes numbers, codes and symbols.
Numbers include energy amount, demand, voltage,

current, power, time etc.

Symbols include power direction, tariff, phase line,
programming status, quadrant, insufficient voltage of
battery, fault etc.
The codes include content program code, fault code,
etc.

COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT
Different types of communication:
Bluetooth,
Power line carrier,
Broad band line carrier,
Session initiation protocol (SIP),
Zigbee,
GPRS technology.
