SEMs related clause in IEGC
21. The CTU shall install special energy meters on all inter
connections between the regional entities and other
identified points for recording of actual net MWh
interchanges and MVArh drawals. The installation, operation
and maintenance of special energy meters shall be in
accordance with Central Electricity Authority (Installation
and Operation of Meters) Regulations, 2006. All concerned
entities (in whose premises the special energy meters are
installed) shall take weekly meter readings and transmit
them to the RLDC by Tuesday noon The SLDC must ensure
that the meter data from all installations within their control
area are transmitted to the RLDC within the above schedule.
SEMs related clause in IEGC
 22. The RLDC shall be responsible for computation of
actual net injection / drawal of concerned regional entities,
15 minute-wise, based on the above meter readings. The
above data along with the processed data of meters shall
be forwarded by the RLDC to the RPC secretariat on a
weekly basis by each Thursday noon for the seven day
period ending on the previous Sunday mid-night, to enable
the latter to prepare and issue the Unscheduled interchange (UI) account in accordance with the CERC(
Unschesduled Interchange charges and related matters)
Regulations,2010……….
What is Special Energy Meter(SEM)?
SEM is an Application specific Microprocessor
base solid state energy meter. This together with a data
collecting device (DCD) and a local Computer forms a
powerful system of metering and data logging.
This arrangement of metering and data logging
gives a unique method for measurement of all relevant
electrical quantities.
Why metering is required?
ABT, three part tariff :
 Capacity charge (a)
 Energy charge / Scheduled Energy charges (b)
 Adjustment for deviation/ Unscheduled Interchanges (c)
Total payment for the day = a + b (+/-) c
What is Metering?
Meter data handling
Converting meter data into useful information

Feeder wise

Station wise

Types of SEM
SEMs are of following two types :
A-TYPE : Connected to VT having rated secondary line-line
voltage of 110V and CT having rated
secondary current of 1A.
B-TYPE: Connected to VT having rated secondary line-line
voltage of 110V and CT having rated secondary
current of 5A.
It operates with power drawn from the secondary
circuits and no auxiliary power supply required.
Operating section of (SEM)
a) Analog Section: High precision Current transformer and
voltage transformer step down input currents and voltages
which are fed to an Analog to Digital converter.
b) Digital Section: A powerful microprocessor controls the
Analog and Digital sections. Analog to Digital converters are
fed from high precision instrument transformers. The Digital
samples from Analog to Digital converter are used to process
the metering data. The sampling rate is 3000 samples per
second which gives the meter an exceptional accuracy and
results.
c) Power supply Section: A switch mode power supply
(SMPs) unit supplies power to the meter’s internal circuit.

Classification of SEMs
 Main Meter : means a meter, which would primarily be
used for accounting and billing of electricity.
 Check Meter : means a meter, which shall be connected to
the same core of CT and PT to which main meter is
connected and shall be used for accounting and billing of
electricity in case of failure of main meter.
 Standby Meter : means a meter connected to CT and VT,
other than those used for main meter and check meter and
shall be used for accounting and billing of electricity in case
of failure of both main meter and check meter;

 Metering arrangement for POWERGRID
lines.
On POWERGRID lines, unless an end is regional energy
accounting point, an Energy Meter is provided only at one
end of each line. The readings recorded by these meters are
being used for information and analysis only, and not for
the energy accounting purposes.
Measurement principle of SEM
Net Wh Transmittal during each successive 15-min time block up to
second decimal, with plus/minus sign.
Cumulative Wh transmittal at each midnight in 6-digits including one
decimal
It works in real time with the help of an in-built clock.
Average frequency of 15 mins block as 2 digit code ( 00 to 99 )
Actual freq = 49 + ( 2digit code / 50 )
e.g. If, SEM shows 2 digit code of 55 as frequency code,
The actual frequency = 49 + (55 / 50)
= 50.1 Hz
Cumulative VARh transmittal for high voltage condition at each midnight
( V > 103% of Rated Voltage)
Cumulative VARh transmittal for low voltage condition at each midnight
(V < 97% of rated Voltage)
Data for Time blocks of failure of VT supply on any phase has a star mark
as prefix.
Special Energy Meter (SEM)
Each meter has an optical port to access data stored in its memory.
Hand held data collection device (DCD) are used as an interface
between the meters and the PC
Meters can store 10 days data. Data downloaded in coded form
(*.MRI, *.DAT) and is converted to Text file (*.NPC) through
software SMARTGRID/ VINCOM.
Each day data, is of the following form
Meter no
Watt hr Var – High
NP–4201–A 63895.0
97845.8
Var – Low
74358.6
Date
12 – 10 - 07
Meter no is of nine character starting with NP and A or B at the
end indicates the type of CT used.
Any voltage problem is indicated by a star “*” mark preceding the
energy data.
Data Collecting Device (DCD)
DCD is a hand held terminal, capable of
communicating with SEM as also with PC. Both
communication requires suitable software at both
DCD and SEM
 Features:

Raw data is converted to text files.
All text files are appended to a single text file.
Korba end SEM is used as master frequency meter.
Actual energy is calculated by a software as per configured
fictitious meter.
Daily Output MWh pertaining to drawal/injection/IR exchange
is created.
Daily Regional output file for the week period is created.
Regional loss is calculated after processing.
RLDCs send processed SEM data to respective RPCs.
Data checking & Validation
Identification of any metering error can be done through three
broad categories of checks.



End1- End 2 (using pair check)
Net bus check of Generators using Kirchhoff’s
law.
Net bus check of substations using Kirchhoff’s
law.
Checks are also carried out to ascertain time drift in the meters
with reference to Master meter.
