Smart meters explained briefly

Modern measuring equipment

Moderne Messeinrichtung

A modern measuring equipment is a digital electricity meter. In addition to the current meter reading, this also shows the consumption by days, months and years for the last 24 months.
These data remain in the meter and are not transmitted to the network operator or a third party.
Digital electricity meters do not send and receive data. When a tenant changes, the data recorded in the meter can be deleted.

The meter reading of the modern measuring system is once again read once a year by Stadtwerke Landshut or the customers themselves.

By the way: The electricity consumption of the meter is not measured, so you do not have to pay this as a customer.

Intelligent measuring system

Intelligentes Messsystem

One intelligent measuring system ("Smart Meter") besteht aus einer modernen Messeinrichtung und einer Kommunikationseinheit und wird ab 2020 für alle Stromkunden mit einem Verbrauch von über 6.000 Kilowattstunden pro Jahr Pflicht. Die zusätzliche Kommunikationseinheit wird auch Smart Meter Gateway genannt. Dieses empfängt die Daten vom digitalen Stromzähler und leitet sie verschlüsselt an berechtigte Marktteilnehmer weiter, beispielsweise an den Stromlieferanten oder Netzbetreiber.

The data transmission is strictly based on the technical rules of the Federal Office for Information Security in Information Technology (BSI) and the requirements of the legislator. The Smart Meter Gateway can also receive data. The utilities and network operators receive a daily log that breaks down the consumption or feed-in of the respective previous day into 15-minute intervals. Customers can access their own consumption via an online portal.
