METER COLLAR FOR PLUG-IN CONNECTION OF DISTRIBUTED POWER GENERATION

摘要

An electric power meter collar with external sockets enables expedited connection of distributed energy resources to the customer premises or the electric power grid. The meter collar is installed between an electric meter and the meter socket box that the meter would otherwise plug into at the site of a customer who receives two-phase service from an electrical utility company, and has sockets that are electrically upstream and downstream of the meter. It enables "plug and play" connection of on-site power generation resources.
