Abstract

See full text

In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method to read energy-related data in a power meter. In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes the step of sending a request message to an on-premise processor, directing the on-premise processor to read energy-related data from a power meter, using an 802.11 X-based wireless protocol. The method further includes the step of retrieving energy-related data stored in a memory of the power meter by the on-premise processor, using the 802.11 X-based wireless protocol, and the step of receiving a response message sent at a host processor, communicated from the on-premise processor, using the 802.11 X wireless protocol. The method further includes the step of recording the energy related data in a data structure in memory of the host processor, along with a date and time information.
