After six years of dissemination, china's jiangsu network service has now reached 99. 8 per cent coverage of smart meters in tin-free areas. Users not only bid farewell to the electric teller, but also make real-time inquiries about their household electricity and pay their electricity bills through smart terminals such as mobile phones and computers。

The roll-out of the smart table for the tinless region began in 2010. The national net light power company metrology has developed a detailed implementation programme to install smart meters for all new users and to facilitate the installation of smart sheets for other users, mainly on a rotational basis, in conjunction with routine work such as closed modifications, troubleshooting and collection construction maintenance. After six years of batching and rotation, as of the end of last month, 3. 19 million smart meters had been installed in the tin-free area, reaching 99. 8 per cent of their coverage and leading the province. At present, 6,000 households have not changed their smart meters for reasons such as prolonged family absence or misunderstanding of smart meters, and the company is actively promoting them。

How does it make life easier for ordinary citizens when smart meters are changed? Interviews with the daily newspaper tinless found that many citizens were already enjoying the comforts and amenities of the smart meters. Ms. Shen showed her cell phone page, and once she had access to the company's twitter public number, she was able to obtain details of her home electricity supply the previous day, nearly seven days or even the previous year, and to pay the electricity bill, which was convenient。

In fact, besides making life easier for citizens, smart meters make grid enterprises more detailed and well served. The deputy director of the metering office of the national network no tin power company stated that the grid enterprise could perform the full operation of automatic copying, processing, bank transfer payments, etc. Of electrical data, as well as perform monitoring of the running of electric loads and transformers, and restore electricity in a timely manner through system positioning failures. The provincial power company database collects data on smart meters every hour. In the event of an anomaly in the data sent to the provincial power company database, it is immediately reported to the municipal electricity company. The technicians carry out a preliminary analysis of this anomaly and send maintenance teams to the site to identify and resolve the problem. “previously, when the electricity bill is paid, it is often discovered that it may have been a month or two before the problem occurred, that the user is not only running many legs, but that the solution usually takes longer. With smart meters, problems can be detected and solved in a timely manner.” (chun xian)
