Detailed Description

The Prepayment Cluster provides the facility to pass messages relating to the accounting functionality of a meter between devices on the HAN. It allows for the implementation of a system conforming to the set of standards relating to Payment Electricity Meters (IEC 62055) and also for the case where the accounting function is remote from the meter. Prepayment issued in situations where the supply of a service may be interrupted or enabled under the control of the meter or system in relation to a payment tariff. The accounting process may be within the meter or elsewhere in the system. The amount of available credit is decremented as the service is consumed and is incremented through payments made by the consumer. Such a system allows the consumer to better manage their energy consumption and reduces the risk of bad debt owing to the supplier.
