These days, the Corporation Hanoi Electricity (EVN HA NOI) to direct an active member unit deployed remote metering system, installation of electronic meters to replace mechanical meters above the city .
Why do I need to replace the meter from the base to the electronics?
On 8-11-2012, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 1670 / QD-TTg "To approve the scheme of smart grid development in Vietnam".
Accordingly, 2022 will invest remote metering system fully to all customers using the power, to encourage people to use energy saving and efficiency, facilitate enhanced productivity action, reducing the need for investment in resource development and power grids. At the same time, strengthen the rational exploitation of energy resources, ensuring national energy security and contribute to environmental protection and economic development - sustainable society. To deploy remote metering system, the installation of electronic meters is an inevitable trend.
The replacement of mechanical meters with electronic meters will benefit both our customers and the electricity sector. Specifically, the client-side electric: electric meters electric leakage warning, safety and anti-leakage current losses due to customers; Meters measured voltage and current source load, help households use electricity quality monitoring supply voltage, current monitoring consumption, helping customers use the logical device, saving, avoid overloading; Electronic counters allow accurate within ± 1%, while the meter body allows accurate within ± 2%, which means that electronic meters to measure power more accurately.
Customers must pay for electricity right to use more realistic; Electronic meters with data collection function remote clients can track key indicators is the power consumption of the electricity industry. In addition, the record meter readings are done automatically without human intervention, increasing transparency indicator during recording.
On the seller side: The data collected helps to fully measure the electricity service provision and monitor power usage, thereby improving service quality power supply, and prevent acts of stealing electricity; Avoid errors from incorrect recording numbers of personnel records only monthly numbers; Contribute to improve labor productivity, reduce costs for the electricity sector.
Alternative routes from mechanical meters to electronic meters EVN HANOI
According to Nguyen Hoang Anh, Deputy Director of the Office HANOI EVN, Hanoi Electricity sector planned replacement of mechanical meters to electronic and telemetry systems installed in stages under the direction of the Prime Minister and the Electricity of Vietnam.
Accordingly, program 1 (2014-2016) sub-projects implemented installing telemetry systems DEP project loans from the World Bank for its clients specialized transformers. Deployment systems for remote data collection for the entire 3-phase electronic meters have been installed on the grid of EVN HANOI, with the average power consumption / month or more from 5.000kWh expected 28,000 measurement points .
Program 2 (2014 to 2022): replace 69 729 3 phase mechanical meter accuracy level 2 by electronic meters capable of measuring distance, expected to be implemented over the period 2014 - 2016 using the method of recovering data collected by HHU ... 3 program (2014 to 2022) with project size: 1942192 Replacing 1 phase mechanical meters with electronic meters capable of measuring distance starting from 2014 to the end of 2022 , instead of 245,000 meters per / year, instead of burning down 8,000 meters / year and the new development of 46,000 meters / year. Since 2015, EVN will complete HANOI telemetry fully automated substations public (meters 1 phase and 3 phase).

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tung, neighborhood group leaders dormitory Institute metallurgical mines, Doan Thi Diem Street, Dong Da District says 102 of the collective farmers newly installed power sector electronic meters 1 phase replacement meter facility at the end of last July. Mr Tung hopes and wishes for the best of Vietnam and modern electronic meters, each household electricity dormitories are considerate service, more convenient.
Director of the Electricity Company Hoai Nam Dong Da Ma also said: The company is implementing a pilot installation of electronic meters 1 phase for more than 5200 customers purchasing electricity and applied by the index set record automation in 3 wards HHU Quoc Tu Giam, Temple of Literature and Cat Linh. In Ba Dinh District is piloting electrical installation 5000 1-phase electronic meters in the area of the ward.
Mr. Nguyen Van Chu, director of Ba Dinh Power Company Share, by doing good propaganda should the project on very favorable in the areas of population groups, supporters and citizens involved in monitoring the installation of new meters.
The Hanoi Electricity sector is actively implementing electronic meters installed to replace the meter body is an inevitable trend, contributing to improve productivity and customer service should be the capital people sympathize households.
