Community - Electricity metering - RCP
There are several methods of connecting electricity and communication meters depending on the number of consumers and buildings on a site.
1. Community – An introduction and several consumers
Installation in a group of consumers (RCP) with a single point of introduction to the network, several consumers (apartments, offices, common areas, etc.) and a photovoltaic installation.
Example: a residential building with 3 apartments and 1 meter for the common areas:
Community with Gateway Climkit
Community with Cloud Gateway and 4G Router
Community with Cloud Gateway and LAN Router
2. Single – A single consumer
Installation with 1 single point of introduction to the network, 1 single consumer and a photovoltaic installation.
According to this scheme, consumption is deducted. It is also possible to measure consumption and production. This model is for example used in the case of a detached house.
Single with Gateway Climkit
Single with Cloud Gateway and LAN router (or 4G)
3. Microgrid – A network introduction and several buildings
Installation with a single entry point, several consumers and several buildings.
This diagram should be used when the meters are located in different locations on the site and it is not possible to connect them all to the same bus network. In this case, a Gateway and an internet connection (LAN or 4G router) are installed in each building.
It is also possible to install a single Climkit Gateway and RS485-Ethernet converters in different buildings.
