ABSTRACT: Under the background of smart grid’s real-time
electricity prices theory, a real-time electricity prices and wireless
communication smart meter was designed. The metering chip collects power
consumption information. The real-time clock chip records current time. The
communication between smart meter and system master station is achieved by the
wireless communication module. The “freescale” micro controller
unit displays power consumption information on screen. And the meter feedbacks
the power consumption information to the system master station with time-scale
and real-time electricity prices. It results that the information exchange
between users and suppers can be realized by the smart meter. It fully reflects
the demanding for communication of smart grid.
