Remote metering and monitoring system accepted

   ---The project of transformation for agricultural science and technology achievements undertaken by HRC as entrusted by Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology ----remote meter reading and monitoring system for rural power grid, passed the acceptance conducted by Department of International Cooperation, Science and Technology of Water Resources Ministry on April 22nd. The system is able to implement remote automatic reading and monitoring for those small hydropower plants connected to the grid, making it possible for grid dispatching enterprises to know well about the operating condition of small hydropower plants. Due to its stable operation, the system greatly raises the managerial level of automatic operation and improves the quality of power supply and safe operation condition of rural power grid. During the execution period of the project, 5 sets of remote meter reading and monitoring system were popularized and applied, covering 328 small hydropower plants. The expert panel unanimously agrees that this project brings both economic and social benefits and has a bright prospect for application.(2008-04-29)
