Analysis and Case Study of Functional Autonomous Configuration Technology for Electricity Consumption Information Collection Terminals

The traditional terminal function configuration methods have many limitations, which seriously restrict the efficient operation of the power system. Specifically, traditional configuration methods usually rely on manual parameter issuance item by item or fixed configuration at the factory. This mode not only has a cumbersome and time-consuming configuration process but also is prone to errors due to human operation. Furthermore, traditional methods lack flexibility and are difficult to quickly adapt to changes in new business demands. For instance, new businesses such as distributed photovoltaic power generation and orderly power consumption have put forward higher requirements for the type, frequency and quality of power consumption data, while traditional configuration methods are hard to respond to these changes in a timely manner. These problems not only increase the operation and maintenance costs, but also reduce the overall efficiency of the power system and affect the operational benefits of power companies. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a functional autonomous configuration technology for electricity consumption information collection terminals. This technology realizes the efficient and flexible configuration of the acquisition terminal by formulating a unified configuration file format, developing automatic configuration file generation tools and terminal parsing application modules. This autonomous configuration technology can significantly improve configuration efficiency, reduce configuration time and error rate, and at the same time enhance the flexibility and adaptability of the system, enabling it to better meet the constantly changing business requirements of the power system and provide strong technical support for the development of the smart grid.
