Consistency Evaluation of IoT Smart Meter’s Metering Accuracy considering Ambient Temperature and Load Current

The energy meter is a widely used digital-analog electronic system. However, metering accuracy is inevitably influenced by factors such as ambient temperature, load current, and component tolerance. This paper introduces a method utilizing digital twin models to analyze the consistency of metering accuracy in a new single-phase smart meter prototype. An electro-thermal coupling model incorporating a temperature compensation algorithm is established, and the metering accuracy is solved using a surrogate model. By employing the Monte Carlo method, a batch of product samples is generated to determine the impact of varying ambient temperature and load current conditions on the metering accuracy’s consistency within the maximum operating range. The results of this study provides a valuable foundation for robust design and reliability optimization of the energy meter.
