Design and Implementation of Power Information Visualization Platform Based on Smart Meter

Abstract

User interaction is an important part of the smart grid construction. In order to allow power consumers to have a better understanding of their own household electricity, it is necessary to provide them with real-time electricity information. On the basis of intensive study of the electricity information acquisition system, this paper puts forward a construction scheme of power information visualization platform based on smart meter. The scheme only needs to upgrade and transform the carrier communication module of the smart meter instead of changing the existing electricity information acquisition system. As the modified module increases WiFi communication function, users can establish a communication link with their own smart meter through WiFi. The mobile phone can send a series of instructions which follow the DL/T 645-2007 protocol to call all kinds of power information and data in the smart meter. The platform shows the electricity information to users in a simple and intuitive way. Users can easily check a variety of household power information through the phone app. The platform solves the problem of difficult view of information in the electric meter. It expands application results of the smart meter, meanwhile promotes the friendly communication between the power grid and users.
