3-5 days passed still no joy

I was told after 3.5 days they would fix my not so smart meter display and its still not fixed. I think I need to change supplier. Update:16th October still not working they said they would fix the connection today from there end but still no joy here. Update: Tuesday 16th Utilita requesting email support but not had an email off them I either have to ring them or chat to someone on site. I will try again later as there is no way how to input my account number on here in private so only they can see it. Updata:Dec2023 Still frustrations with my gas so called not so smart meter not showing my proper gas reading, now its estimating and staying on the same reading for days or weeks. If I could take pictures i would upload them to show. I tried moving it to the smart metre and placing it on top and that didn't work either, its just not communicating with my smart meter. They have been about 4 times now and still its not working. There must be a problem in my area or something that they have not discovered. I am 66 with arthritis and i have to go out and mess with the metre outside and I have no idea how to do an accurate reading there is too many buttons and menus its all confusing. I hate smart meters there a pure pain.

The global Smart Grid Market in terms of revenue was estimated to be worth $71.8 billion in 2024 and is poised to reach $185.0 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 20.8% from 2024 to 2029 according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets™. The demand for smart grid is on the rise due to various factors. Expansion in industries like manufacturing, automotive, and construction contributes to increased adoption of smart grid because of their variable energy needs. Additionally, population growth leads to higher levels of energy requirement from increased energy consumption, thereby driving the need for smart grid. Financial uncertainties are also a driving factor, as companies seek protection against potential losses arising from unforeseen events.

What are the most effective methods for managing power factor in your system?

`What's Power Factor?

In an energy management system, the power factor gauges the efficiency of electrical power usage. It is defined as the ratio of real power to apparent power (the total power supplied). A high power factor signifies efficient use of electrical power, which minimizes energy losses and enhances system performance.

Beer is active power (kW)—the useful power, or the liquid beer, is the energy that is doing work. This is the part you want.

Foam is reactive power (kVAR)—the foam is wasted power or lost power. It’s the energy being produced that isn't doing any work, such as the production of heat or vibration.

The mug is apparent power (kVA)—the mug is the demand power, or the power being delivered by the utility.

Understanding Low Power Factor?

A low power factor is primarily caused by inductive loads, including motors, transformers, and lighting ballasts, which draw reactive power. This reactive power is essential for generating and sustaining magnetic fields but does not contribute to useful work, increasing apparent power and consequently lowering the power factor. Moreover, harmonics from nonlinear loads, such as electronic devices and variable frequency drives, further reduce the power factor by introducing additional reactive power.

Benefits of High Power Factor

A high power factor decreases the apparent power and current drawn from the source, which can lower energy bills as some utilities impose charges for low power factor or provide incentives for maintaining a high power factor. It enhances voltage regulation and stability, increases system capacity and efficiency by reducing losses and heating, and lessens the effects of harmonics, thereby improving overall power quality.Benefits of Power Factor

Measuring Power Factor

Power factor is measured using a power meter or analyzer that monitors real, reactive, and apparent power, or with a power factor meter for direct readings. Measurements should be taken at various points in the system and at different times to account for load variations.

Correcting Low Power Factor

The most effective way to correct a low power factor is by installing power factor correction devices such as capacitors or synchronous condensers. These devices provide reactive power locally, reducing the flow of reactive power and improving the power factor. Depending on the load characteristics and desired power factor levels, they can be installed centrally or near specific inductive loads.

Controlling Power Factor Correction Devices

Power factor controllers, which can be either manual or automatic, are used to manage correction devices. Manual controllers rely on human adjustments based on meter readings, whereas automatic controllers use sensors and microprocessors to adjust devices. Automatic controllers can also be programmed to optimize performance under varying load conditions.

Optimizing Power Factor Management

Optimizing power factor management requires balancing cost, performance, maintenance, and safety. Essential practices include regular evaluation and adjustment, proper maintenance to prevent overloading and overheating, and compliance with utility codes and standards. This comprehensive approach ensures improved efficiency, stability, and cost-effectiveness of your electrical system.
