Designing a metering system From Electrical Installation Guide
This article intends to describe a method to design the energy
measurement system of a commercial building. The scope of this
article covers all WAGES consumptions in “non critical”
buildings. Critical buildings such as hospitals, data centers
have specific requirements regarding power quality that are not
covered here. The method involves 2 steps : The step Project
Definition shall be realized with the future users of the system
and lead to define what are the performance metrics that will be
part of the users dashboards. Step 2 : Design of the different
components of the measurement system The purpose of the
measurement system design is to ensure that the data collected
will correspond to the desired analysis and results. This will
allow the operation managers to monitor & control the building
according to their objectives. This will help to avoid : -
insufficient data to enable building consumptions analysis - Too
much measured and collected da
