PRIME Solutions for AMI systems Technology for energy efficiency

Telemanagement Most utility distribution companies have developed and implemented modernisation plans for their distribution lines, with the aim of improving energy efficiency. In some countries, these improvements are prompted by regulations that make it compulsory to provide a more intelligent network, covering such areas as power generation control, improvements to the distribution lines, remote metering and remote control of transformer substations or the installation of smart meters. A whole range of new possibilities has emerged in the area of smart metering that were completely...

Telemanagement system Benefits of the system 1. Billing process The telemanagement system with PRIME PLC communications enables the meter reading process to be controlled automatically, thus eliminating reading errors and reducing the costs associated with managing meters. 2. Demand management From the information received from the meters, the concentrator allows you to create an accurate prediction of the energy demand in different time slots. This facilitates the management of the generation capacity of power distribution companies. 3. Technical management To facilitate the technical...

Compact concentrator for telemanagement Concentrator COMPACT DC Serie Purpose of a PLC concentrator The main purpose of a PLC concentrator is to read the energy meters over the electrical network and export that data to one or more computer systems that are responsible for managing concentrators or, failing that, meters. The ability to send the same data collected by the concentrator to different systems results in faster billing, for example, as the measurements are obtained instantly. Not only power distribution companies and operators of distribution lines can optimise their procedures....

Functionalities and features of COMPACT DC The COMPACT DC concentrator is normally installed in the transformer substation, by mounting it on a DIN rail and connecting it to the low voltage winding of the three-phase system. This allows the meters to be remotely managed through PLC communications, using the protocol standardised by PRIME Alliance. All of the information recorded by the meters is obtained using PLC. This information includes the load profiles, daily or monthly summaries of consumption and even quality parameters and any events that have occurred at the measuring point. As...

PLC Communications In terms of PLC communications, the concentrator has a passive three-phase injection system, that injects the maximum power permitted by standard EN 50065, by all 3 phases at once. In addition to the three-phase injection, the concentrator can be configured, via the web, to inject through one of the 3 phases. This is used in cases where one of the phases interferes with the communications of the other phases. Models The PRIME COMPACT DC range of concentrators is available in different models, depending on the needs of each installation. The most basic model is the COMPACT...

Applications CIRCUTOR has developed both the single-phase and three-phase meter with PRIME communications, for residential power supplies below 15 kW. The main features of these types of systems are as follows: –– Measurement of active and reactive energy, with the ability to distinguish between energy consumed and generated (4 quadrants). –– It remotely collects information about energy consumption, eliminating the errors associated with manual readings and eradicating the need to make estimates. –– Inclusion of a circuit breaker with two main functions. Thanks to the first function, the...

Applications Although telemanagement systems were originally created to deliver effective reading and management of residential meters, it is to be expected that during the second phase, or even in the initial project, one of the objectives set was to take advantage of all of the resources that had already been deployed to integrate the industrial meters connected to the same low voltage network. CIRCUTOR has integrated PRIME communications into the direct and indirect measurement three-phase energy meters. By including these customers, complete telemanagement of all supplies connected to a...
