Revenue Metering
With utility deregulation, accurate energy measurement is
increasingly important.
For the first time, Arbiter Systems¢ç, Inc. combines state-of-the-art
measurement techniques, proprietary EnergyDSA¢â technology,
and the accurate, cost-effective time synchronization of our
precision GPS clock products in the Model 1133A Power Sentinel¢â
multi-function measurement unit.
The Model 1133A brings laboratory performance to the substation,
delivering unprecedented revenue accuracy of 0.025% under
most conditions.
Compare this to traditional watt-hour meters which are limited
to an accuracy of no better than 0.1% in the lab, with increasing
errors as conditions depart from the ideal.
The Model 1133A measures revenue more accurately than any
meter ever before.
The difference between 0.025% and 0.1% is surprising. With
many transmission lines wheeling thousands of megawatts of
power, the difference in accuracy of 0.075% translates to
hundreds of thousands of dollars over a year's time.
Even at lower power levels, improved accuracy yields significant
revenue enhancement.

Synchronization
A built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite receiver
synchronizes your Model 1133A within 1 ¥ìs of Coordinated Universal
Time (UTC), which may also be converted to your local time.
With synchronization, revenue data can be accumulated in time
slots as short as one minute. Other substation equipment,
such as digital fault recorders, solid-state relays, remote
terminal units, and programmable logic controllers, may be
synchronized with the standard IRIG-B unmodulated timecode
output. This output has sufficient power to drive numerous
loads, for example, 40 Schweitzer¢â SEL-321 relays.
Technology
Arbiter Systems' many years of experience making accurate
measurements of ac signals and providing state-of-the-art
timing equipment lies at the heart of the Model 1133A Power
Sentinel¢â revolutionary performance.
For example, built-in, real-time autocalibration eliminates
many sources of error which would otherwise degrade accuracy.
This process measures the output of an internal calibration
source, time-multiplexed along with the input signals. A complete
set of calibration measurements is executed once each second.
By passing the calibration signal through the same measurement
circuits as the input signals, drift in component values,
temperature sensitivities, and many other errors are completely
removed
All of the accuracy in the world means nothing if the resulting
signal cannot be processed with equal or better performance.
Our proprietary EnergyDSA¢â Digital Signal Analysis, an optimized
version of the PowerDSA¢â analysis developed over the last
decade and in use in our Model 931A Power System Analyzer
for several years, delivers this performance.
We have optimized EnergyDSA¢â analysis for the specific requirements
of revenue metering and on-line power analysis: speed, accuracy
and low cost. Our EnergyDSA¢â algorithms measure signals with
accuracies characterized not in percent, but in parts per
million.
