Equipment for Electrical Energy Measurement, Tariff and Load Control Sectional Committee, ETD 13
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 2) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Equipment for Electrical Energy Measurement, Tariff and Load Control Sectional Committee had been approved
by the Electrotechnical Division Council.
Several programs have been launched by Government of India to reform the energy and power sector. One such
initiative was introduction of IT enabled services that have set the platform for deploying Smart Grids in India.
The Smart Grid via its environment friendly and consumer centric approach would offer enhanced reliability,
security, safety and efficiency for grid operations. The transition to Smart Grid would achieve the over arching
objectives of Government to reduce AT&C losses and provide 24×7 power for all.
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a crucial part of a Smart Grid. It is an integrated system of smart
meters, communication networks and data management systems that enables two way communications between
the utilities and consumer premises equipment. The functional blocks of AMI typically include HES — Head end
system, WAN — Wide area network, NAN — Neighborhood area network, Data concentrator unit (DCU)/ Gateway
and HAN — Home area network.
Smart meter is a composite unit consisting of metrology elements, two way communication module/modules and
control elements. It will have functions such as measurement, computation, event capturing, storing, communication
and control. The smart meter would be required to provide data and information that are needed by various Smart
Grid applications.
Smart grid deployment process is still evolving. Various domains of Smart Grids are infused with professional
interventions to adopt and rollout standards-based technologies and products. Many standard making bodies like
IEC, IEEE, NIST, CEN, CENELEC, ITU, ETSI, and IETF are engaged in standardization activities pertaining to
Smart Grids.
The Electrotechnical department of Bureau of Indian Standards has formulated many metering standards such as
IS 13779 : 1999 ‘a.c. Static watthour meters (Class 1 and 2) (first revision)’, IS 14697 : 1999 ‘a.c. Static transformer
operated watthour and var-hour meters, class 0.2S and 0.5S — Specification’, IS 15884 : 2010 ‘Alternating
current direct connected static pre-payment meters for active energy (Class 1 and 2) — Specification’, IS 15959
(Part 1) : 2011 ‘Electricity metering — Data exchange for meter reading, tariff and load control — Companion
specification Part 1 Static Energy Meter’ and IS 16444 : 2015 ‘a.c. Static Direct Connected Watthour Smart Meter
Class 1 and 2 — Specification’. This standard on the smart meter has been formulated by Bureau of Indian
Standards based on the technical specifications and functional requirements published in June 2013 by Central
Electricity Authority.
The letter ‘S’ denotes special measuring range designated for transformer operated applications, generally for
large power measurements. Current transformers also ‘S’ designated as per IS 2705 (Part 2) : 1992 ‘Current
transformers: Part 2 Measuring current transformers (second revision)’ have measuring ranges comparable to
those of static meters covered by this standard. For the sake of overall accuracy throughout the measuring range,
static meters covered by this standard should preferably be connected with ‘S’ designated current transformers.
For example class 0.5 S meters is used with 0.2 S CT and class 0.2 S meter is used with 0.2 S CT.
While formulating this standard it has been endeavored not to contradict on principle of the adopted/referred
standards of other International organizations/institutions on which this standard is based upon. However, in case
of any divergence/disparity, not amounting to conflict of interpretations that may be revealed later, provisions of
this standard will prevail.
This standard specifies the requirements for smart meters only. Requirements for any other components shown or
referred in the text or diagrams such as DCU, HES, IHD, HHU may be specified separately for functional and
