ELECTRONIC SMART METER ENABLING DEMAND RESPONSE AND METHOD FOR DEMAND RESPONSE
First Claim
1. An electric smart meter enabling demand response comprising:
- a memory stored with a power rate system, a metered data, a monitored data and a power control program of a subscriber;
a integrated monitoring module for performing detection of various electric failures, automatic meter reading of metered data, detection of facilities status, and control of loads and electric home appliances;
a high-level communication module for transmitting the metered (measured) and monitored data obtained from an automatic meter reader (AMR) and the integrated monitoring module to a master server, or receiving a control command of the integrated monitoring module transmitted from the master server; and
a first microprocessor for transmitting a power control command to a relevant integrated monitoring module in response to the power control program based on the rate system, and controllably transmitting the metered and monitored data stored in the storage to the master server via a high-level communication module.
