Title:
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MEASUREMENT OF RESOURCE METERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/104055
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed at methods, systems, and techniques for measurements and, optionally, auditing of resource meters such as electricity meters. Each of multiple site aggregation units receive measurements from resource meters. Each of the site aggregation units generate a site aggregation digest that substantially uniquely identifies the resource measurements, stores these digests, and aggregates the resource measurements into site aggregation data that is sent to a central aggregation unit. The central aggregation unit generates a central aggregation digest that substantially uniquely identifies the site aggregation data, stores this digest, and aggregates the site aggregation data into central aggregation data that is sent to a resource provider with the central aggregation digest. When auditing is to be performed, the site and central aggregation digests can be used to verify the authenticity of the resource measurements and the site aggregation data, respectively.
