Analysing Fault Cause of Smart Electricity Meters Based on Association Mining

With the continuous development of China's economic and social construction, building a strong smart power grid has become the inevitable trend of future power grid development. As an important infrastructure of the smart power grid, smart electricity meter plays an extremely important role in the development of the smart power grid. The fault of electricity meter is the main reason of electricity meter replacement. In this paper, association rule mining is carried out for the fault cause of electricity meters by using the replacement data of fault meters. Based on the association rules mining, the internal relationship between the electricity meter fault and the electricity meter manufacturer, management unit and other factors is obtained. The mining results can provide support for the formulation of the management scheme of electricity meters, further reduce the failure rate of meters, reduce the risk of public opinion, and improves the operation reliability of smart electricity meters.
