Modeling and Simulation of Smart Meters Based on Matlab/Simulink Software

Nowadays, smart meters are widely used in power grid, which plays an important role in building the smart power grid and its stability is the key to stable operation of the grid. However, the reliability prediction of the smart meters is difficult to be performed due to its huge number and it cannot be tested one by one. In order to study the prediction method, according to the working principle of smart meters, this paper presents a simulation smart meter model based on Matlab/Simulink software. And related experiments are performed to measure the power consumption under different loads, through comparing the measured power consumption between the simulation model and power analyzer, the correctness of the presented model is verified.
