Life is becoming more and more simple and intelligent. It is the result of scientific and technological progress and development. Now more and more smart homes and conveniences are becoming more intelligent and used lots of precision resistors and shunt resistors.  The birth of the smart grid is constantly changing our production and life, bringing us more comfort and intelligent experience. Smart meters provide convenience for our lives. With the development of smart grids, smart meters have also joined the category of smart grids.

In the next few years, the market space for smart meters is basically stable. It is estimated that by 2020, nearly 2 billion smart meters will be installed worldwide. The smart grid will cover 80% of the world's population, and the penetration rate of smart meters will reach 60%. The wide application of smart meters also promotes the development of their own smart grid systems in various countries around the world. For smart meters, access to the new smart grid will be a "smart" upgrade.


At present, China is the world's largest supplier of smart meters, and key components have been fully localized, no longer relying on imports. For example, the most critical component of the smart meter, the metering chip, has been fully localized. The metering chip has very high quality requirements for smart meter products, and it is required to be stable and reliable throughout the life cycle after the product is installed on the line. The development of smart grid is undoubtedly a new intelligent revolution for manufacturers producing smart meters. Improving the intelligence of smart meters and adapting to new grid capabilities have changed the development direction of smart meters.

In order to adapt to the use of smart grids and new energy sources, smart meters continue to be intelligently upgraded. On the basis of the original, they also need to have electricity information storage, two-way multi-rate metering functions, user-side control functions, and multiple data transmission modes. Intelligent functions such as two-way data communication function and anti-stealing function. At the same time as the function is upgraded, the smart meter on the hardware needs to adopt the newly developed precision resistors, capacitors, shunts, or custom-made high-precision resistors to ensure the accuracy and intelligence of the barrier smart meter is better. In short, the development of smart meter technology needs Cater to the development direction of the future energy-saving smart grid, in order to enhance the superiority of smart meters.
