Analyzing The Effective Factors Related To Electrical Energy Meter Calculation In a Transmission Field

Abstract

This article describes both physical and non-physical factors that affect the accuracy of energy calculations within energy meter devices and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems or any other control center that relies on energy meter devices. The aim is to obtain more reliable and accurate data and to analyze the energy loss between the energy source and destination in depth. In addition to potential measurement equipment errors, such as those stemming from transformation device errors, there are hidden factors that influence energy calculation results. These factors manifest within the electrical transmission and distribution networks, as well as in the placement of energy meter devices within substations. Furthermore, ensuring the accuracy of energy data sourced from both transmission and distribution fields, along with synchronizing calculation times for comparison with energy production data, is crucial for analyzing energy loss and identifying unknown causes.
