Concepts of Remote Metering & Control:
Fundamental Concepts:
It is basically software based protocol/ principle.These protocols may be PACS (Polymeters Administration & Control Software), ASCII, IP(Internet Protocol) etc.But the most widely used protocol is PACS protocol.
Monitoring of CT Circuits:
In an Energy Meter, in the current coil, by adding any resistance or shorting it results into a change in RFDN (Restricted Frequency Determining Network).
This change in RFDN is recorded in terms of tampering of data & accordingly needful action may be taken.
Monitoring of PT Circuits:
Any tampering in the potential coils of an Energy meter results in a decrease in voltage across under voltage (UV) coil & hence senses the tampering action .
Conclusion:
Prevention of Energy Theft can only be solved if the consciousness towards the use of Electricity by the consumers increases.
As 30% of the total Energy Consumption is not being billed in India so it is imperative to implement the methods in our Distribution Sector.
The available methods such described above can solve the problems.
It also protects circuit against any fault in the system.
