Smart grids: improve monitoring, increase revenue, and achieve compliance
Electrical power consumption is measured and monitored far beyond the electricity meter in your utility cabinet. A combination of factors has driven growth in applications that want to or must monitor power consumption and quality. So, while utility-to-consumer metering remains a key application today, others including EV chargers, solar inverters, lighting, smart plugs, servers, industrial load monitors, and home appliances are also important and quickly ramping up. In addition, these applications require both accurate energy consumption measurements and power quality monitoring. EV chargers are a symbol of the two-way nature of the system, going beyond the typical charging mode.
