Metrology for the NEM

AEMO’s Metrology workshop is designed to provide Metering Providers (MP) categories A and B (MPAs and MPBs) an understanding of:

• Their obligations, responsibilities and the relevant regulatory requirements in the NEM;
• Operational and technical requirements associated with metering provision services;
• Metering installation metrology and performance management;
• Testing and compliance.

Over the two and a half days, we look to provide attendees with awareness, knowledge and skills so that they will be able to:

• Describe the Metering regulatory requirements in the NEM, including the roles and responsibilities of all parties under the Rules and the Metrology Procedure (Part A);
• Discuss the principles of metering and power measurement, three and four wire metering connections, Blondel’s Theorem and methods for verifying the correctness of an installation, the basic theory and requirements surrounding each;
• Discuss basic transformer principles including calculation of losses and transformer equations;
• Describe Voltage Transformer and Current Transformer’s principles, errors and their impact on accuracy of the metering installation, including methods for;
  • Error reduction;
  • Burden and burden power factor;
  • Turns Ratio; and
  • Error compensation;
• Describe the capabilities of modern energy meters, the definition of meter error and the accuracy requirements under the Rules, meter testing including in-field sample testing under relevant Australian Standards;
• Describe the requirement for overall error calculation of metering installations under the Rules and metrology procedure and its application to three and four wire metering installations;
• Describe the requirements for Metering Asset Management Plans (MAMP) under the Rules and metrology procedure, the criteria for preparation of such plan as set out in AEMO’s guidelines, strategy for testing and inspection, centralised audits and metering installation audits.
