SGM meter from EMH: unmatched precision for large consumers

Imagine you are managing a large corporate energy contract and need to know precisely when to purchase energy or feed it back into the grid. An inaccurate meter can mean switching at the wrong time, resulting in unnecessarily high costs. Grid congestion, energy trading, and sustainable generation are playing an increasingly larger role, so real-time insight into your consumption is not just useful; you can hardly avoid it anymore.

Fortunately, the SGM meter from EMH goes beyond standard accuracy requirements and offers large consumers a solution that allows them to gain real-time control over their energy management. With unprecedented measurement precision, smart reading options, and proven low susceptibility to malfunctions, this meter is the choice for grid operators and industrial companies that do not want to take risks.

Ridiculously good: the unprecedented measurement accuracy of the SGM meter

Measurement deviations can have significant financial consequences. That is why the SGM meter was developed with exceptionally high precision. Where a standard class 1 meter is already considered accurate, this meter performs almost at the level of class 0.5. And a class 0.5-meter goes up to 0.2. This means fewer deviations, more reliable measurement data, and a stronger grip on energy management. During extensive testing, this precision has been confirmed: the SGM meter performs better than the norm requires.

Additionally, the meter is equipped with innovative reading options. With the PE port, consumers can read their energy consumption almost in real-time through a computer or mobile with a simple phone connection. The latest models even offer direct reading via Ethernet, which helps large consumers optimize energy use, for example, based on grid congestion or the deployment of solar and wind energy.

Answer to grid congestion and the energy transition

Energy management is no longer just a matter of measuring and billing. Grid congestion and the rise of sustainable energy sources require meters that can do much more. The SGM meter makes it possible to adjust energy consumption to market dynamics with second-by-second accuracy.

This means that large consumers can respond more quickly to:

• Imbalance in the grid: knowing precisely when it is advantageous to buy or sell energy.
• Sustainable generation: making optimal use of solar energy, wind turbines, and battery storage.
• Smart communication: thanks to wireless end-to-end solutions, LTE, and NB-IoT, the meter is future-proof and flexibly deployable.

Sustainability and lower total cost of ownership

Lower-priced meters may seem appealing at first glance, but higher susceptibility to malfunctions leads to additional costs over time. For instance, a customer with several hundred meters saw only 1.5% failure rate with EMH meters, while competitors were above 3%. Calculated for a fleet of 4,000 meters, and at a repair price of €250 per hour, those savings are quickly earned.

In addition to reliability, sustainability is also considered. The SGM meter is produced in Germany, reducing transport and CO2 emissions. Moreover, the product meets CO2 passport guidelines, something Imbema has already highlighted in content about sustainable metering solutions.

The new standard in energy management

With the SGM meter from EMH, large consumers choose precision, reliability, and future-proofing. Whether for grid operators, industrial applications, or companies that want to manage their energy consumption smartly, this meter provides the solution.
