Smart meter becomes the main factor affecting the development of the meter industry

Introduction: After over 50 years of development, China's electrical instrumentation industry has formed a global-scale industrial cluster. The production and sales volume of electric energy meters and portable digital multimeters ranks first in the world, and it has become one of the industries with the highest national productivity. The current export rate is over 15%.

National electric instrument and meter manufacturing industry includes: electric energy meter, automatic meter reading system (not including table), electric load management system, electromagnetic parameter measuring instrument, electromagnetic parameter analysis and recording device, electric safety testing and analysis device of electric distribution system, and electricity There are 12 types of devices, standards and calibration equipment, expansion limit devices, power automation instruments and systems, non-battery electricity meters and devices, and other electrical instrumentation products. The scope of services involves various fields of national economy and national defense construction.

The demand for power systems accounts for more than 80% of the market for electrical instrumentation products, and it plays a decisive role in the demand for electrical instrumentation products. In particular, in 2009, the state initiated the construction of a smart grid as an important node connecting the power grid and users. The role of electricity meters plays a decisive role, becoming the key link and pioneer in realizing the characteristics of smart grid “informatization, automation, and interaction”. It has a direct impact on the development space and direction of the electric energy meter industry and is of great significance to the promotion of China's electric energy meter industry.
