Abstract:There are numerous electric energy metering devices which involve in many aspects running in distribution network, and the accuracy of their integral error has a significant influence on keeping the equity and justness of electric energy trade. However,how to minimize the integral error of electric energy metering devices is a big issue in measurement domain. A method by changing the secondary load of transformers to optimize the integral error of metering devices is proposed,and optimization tests are carried out using this method. It is confirmed that the integral error of electric energy metering devices can be optimized with this method,which provides a useful reference for improving the accuracy of metering devices.
