Omnergy CR123A cylindrical battery in smart meters

In the context of global energy changes and the in-depth development of smart cities, the needs and requirements for energy management are increasing. To achieve more accurate and efficient energy management, metering equipment on the user side is an important part, including: smart water meters, smart gas meters, smart electricity meters, etc. The metering equipment is responsible for collecting the energy consumption information of all user nodes and providing it in a timely manner. Send information back to the central energy management platform to help build a high reliable and resilient energy management network.

The development of Internet of Things technology has made meter equipment more intelligent, equipped with multiple functions such as real-time measurement, control and connection. The realization of these intelligences also means that compared with traditional meters, smart meter systems are much more complex. In the process of producing smart meters, the entire meter company must purchase and assemble a series of components to ensure the long-term stable operation of the meter, including batteries.

As the power that supports the operation of electronic devices in smart meters, battery selection will not only affect the service life of the meter product, but also affect the use experience of public utilities such as water companies and fuel companies.

Therefore, the battery selection problem in smart meters is an unavoidable issue from public institutions to meter manufacturers.

How to judge a qualified battery?

Requirements of battery characteristics for metering applications.

Firstly, the meter battery should have a long service life. Because smart meters are often installed outdoors or in inaccessible locations, replacing batteries may be difficult and expensive. Therefore, the meter battery should be able to run continuously for at least 5 years to ensure that users do not have to replace the battery frequently.

Secondly, the meter battery should have good temperature characteristics. The ambient temperature during use of the meter varies greatly. According to users, the extreme temperature of meter use can reach 60°C in summer in the south; while in cold northern areas, the extreme low temperature may be as low as -40°C. Therefore, the temperature performance of batteries used in meters is crucial to ensure the normal operation of smart meters. Complex application environments also place higher requirements on the temperature performance of batteries.

Thirdly, the meter battery should have high stability. During use, it should be able to maintain relatively stable voltage and current output to ensure the measurement accuracy and stability of the smart meter.
