Multi Metering scenario

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am having this scenario related to Device Management.

There is a premise (office premises preferably) where the client has:-

  1. LeD lights with Single Phase connection.

  2. AC with 3 phase connection

The client will be getting a month end bill with 0.5% Discount for LeD connection & INR 2/unit additional for 3 phase AC connection.

Pls advise from the DM point of view how to map this in the system.

  1. Do we need to install 2 different Meters for single & 3 phase connections

  2. Do we need to do FULL installations for the both.

Thanks,

Aditya

Hi Aditya,

As  your requirement  says -

1st of all we should be capturing consumptions of both (LeD lights & AC) the equipment separately  at actual- premise level.

Now we can achieve billing requirement  with one device with two registers but since device configuration are different (Single phase & 3 phase ) so we should go for two devices with different rate types for an installation.

Noted Manoj.

So do we need to go for 2 separate Installations i.e. 2 separate Full Installations for both the devices.

Pls advise.

Thanks,

Aditya

Aditya:

The data model can support either approach.  You should analyze both approaches to determine the one most appropriate for your business requirements.  1 installation would be beneficial if both devices are always billed together.  2 installations could be used if they are billed separately.

bill.
