    摘要: A test apparatus (100) to test operation of a gas meter (108). The test apparatus (100) may include metrology devices, namely, a master meter (110) and a measuring device (112), typically with a sensor to measure ambient conditions that prevail at the master meter (110) and the gas meter (108). Each of the metrology devices (110, 112) can be configured as a self-contained, independent unit that can process analog signals to generate a digital signal (114). A controller (128) may process these digital signals (114) to convey information that defines flow volume for gas (122) that flows through the gas meter (108). The controller (128) may also be configured to verify a regulatory status for the metrology devices (110, 112). These configurations can use validation data stored on the metrology devices (110, 112) separate and independent of the controller (128). In this way, the test apparatus (100) assumes a modular structure that allows the metrology devices (110, 112) to swap into and out of the test apparatus (100).

    摘要: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for determining a profile of a user of a water and/or energy resource, the method comprising the steps that consist of receiving initial data on consumption of the resource by a plurality of users; determining consumption levels of the resource, determining user groups and determining at least one user profile. Developments describe the use of additional data, in particular cartographic data, corresponding to the determined user profile; the determination of consumption trends; the determination of a reference consumption model; and the comparison of the remotely read consumptions with the reference model. System and software aspects are also described, in particular for remotely consulting information relating to the consumption data, to the groups of users, to the user profiles, to the consumption trends or to the reference consumption models.

    摘要: A system (100) for managing devices (110(i)) supplied through a power grid is proposed. Each device is configured to consume over time electric power according to at least one respective power profile when operating. The system comprises at least one unit (130; 132; 135; 155) interfaced with the devices for exchanging data. The at least one unit is configured to: - collect power profile data indicative of the power profiles of said devices; - generate a time schedule (160) of the device operations by distributing over time start times of the power profiles in such a way that at any time the total power consumption of the devices is kept under a maximum power threshold of the power grid The at least one unit is configured to generate said time schedule through a particle swarm optimization approach by: a) randomly generating a population of candidate time schedules within a search space comprising a set of the possible candidate time schedules; b) subdividing the population of candidate time schedules in a first group of candidate time schedules and in a second group of candidate time schedules; c) performing phases d) and e) at least once; d) moving the candidate time schedules of the first group in the search space following a random walk based on a stable probability distribution having an infinite variance; e) moving the candidate time schedules of the second group in the search space following a random walk based on a probability distribution having a finite variance; f) selecting a candidate time schedule based on a cost of said candidate time schedule corresponding to its position in the search space calculated by means of a cost function.

    摘要: A method and apparatus that monitors and controls the operation of an electricity meter, and modifies at least one temperature threshold for determining when an alarm message should be transmitted or an electrical connection in the meter should be disconnected. The method and apparatus includes a plurality of sensors that detect temperatures in various locations within the electricity meter. The method and apparatus compares at least one detected temperature to at least one threshold, and operates an alarm or a switch when the detected temperature exceeds the threshold. The method and apparatus determines an average rate of change for at least one temperature according to a short-term temperature average over a first number of samples of the temperature, and a long term-term temperature average over a second number of samples of the temperature. The second number of samples is different from the first number of samples. The method and apparatus reduces the threshold when the average rate of change exceeds a predetermined amount.
