Navigant Consulting has contracted MET Laboratories to perform side-by-side accuracy testing for smart watthour meters in Texas.
To test the accuracy of the smart meters, each test will compare two sets of 25 meters while they undergo changing temperature and load conditions. One set of meters will be solid state smart meters with integrated communication modules. The control set will be electro-mechanical single phase meters.
The testing is being conducting at the request of the Texas Public Utility Commission of Texas as well as the transmission and distribution service providers the Commission regulates, which includes CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC; Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC; AEP Texas Central Company, and AEP Texas North Company.
MET's Meter Certification Program provides solutions.
