Title: Automatic remote-integration metering center. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6296684

The report documents a multi-phase program for the development and demonstration of a unique automatic and remote metering system. The system consists of a solid-state meter module to provide electrical consumption data, tamper detection, and load control functions; a central master station to interrogate the meter modules for their data and also to transmit load control signals; and a data display module to be accessible to tenants wishing to obtain their meter readings. The system has the capability to measure and allocate demand and to process time of use rates. It also has a meter accuracy self-test feature. The system is suitable for both direct metering of multi-family buildings and the sub-metering of master-metered apartment buildings. In addition to describing the system, the report documents the results of a 371-point field trial at Scott Tower, a cooperative apartment building in the Bronx, New York.
