    摘要: A monitoring unit is disclosed which is configured to be electrically disposed between a panel assembly of a structure and an electric service meter for the structure. The monitoring unit comprises first means for electrical coupling to the panel assembly and second means for electronically coupling to the electric service meter. The first means may comprise blades configured for insertion into jaws of the panel assembly to electrically couple the monitoring unit to the panel assembly and the second means may comprise a meter socket having a plurality of jaws configured to receive a plurality of blades in the electric service meter. The monitoring unit may also comprise a neutral blade configured for insertion into a neutral jaw of the panel assembly or a leader line having a connector configured to couple to a lead wire for attachment to a portion of the panel assembly corresponding to the neutral jaw. The monitoring unit may comprise a disconnect mechanism such as a fuse to electrically uncouple circuitry of the monitoring unit from the panel assembly. The monitoring unit may also comprise a service hatch being actuatable to expose the disconnect mechanism.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method for supervising the electrical consumption of a battery-powered smart meter, including a measurement relating to the electrical current consumed by said meter,



    characterized in that it includes:
    an identification of at least one functionality implemented by the meter by comparison of data relating to this measurement that are measured with signatures stored in a signature database, each signature of said base being representative the consumption of the meter during the implementation of a functionality by said meter in a nominal operating mode of the meter;
    a monitoring over time of the sequence of functionalities thus identified and the detection of a possible drift compared to a nominal operation.

    摘要: Meter voltage fingerprint is provided. A system can include a metering system at a location downstream from a substation on a utility grid that distributes electricity. The metering system can receive data samples of a voltage waveform corresponding to the electricity distributed at the location. The metering system can determine first metrics for the voltage waveform over a time interval via a statistical technique. The metering system can determine second metrics for the voltage waveform over the time interval based on a difference between the voltage waveform and a model waveform. The metering system can construct a data structure comprising the first metrics, the second metrics, and an identifier for the location. The metering system can provide the data structure to a data processing system remote from the metering system to cause the data processing system to evaluate a performance of the utility grid.
