Say goodbye to chaotic temporary electricity usage! Acrel's one-stop billing solution makes electricity use smarter, safer, and more efficient.

Digital Intelligence Empowering Flexible Power Management

With the rapid growth of the night-time economy, rural revitalization initiatives, and continuous infrastructure expansion, temporary and flexible electricity demand is increasing significantly. Applications such as night markets, agricultural irrigation wells, port shore power, short-term rental apartments, and construction sites require safer, more transparent, and more intelligent power management solutions.

Traditional billing models such as post-payment settlement or fixed monthly packages can no longer meet modern requirements for precision management and digital control. Acrel’s Temporary Electricity Metering & Billing Solution leverages cloud platforms and intelligent metering technology to deliver transparent billing, digital management, and proactive safety protection.

Industry Challenges

  • Rough Billing Methods: Fixed packages and manual meter reading fail to match short-term and fragmented power usage.
  • Lack of Transparency: Manual data collection leads to errors and billing disputes.
  • Safety Risks: Temporary wiring lacks real-time leakage and overload monitoring.
  • Low Operational Efficiency: Heavy reliance on manual inspection increases maintenance costs.
  • Revenue Risk: No prepaid mechanism makes fee recovery difficult.

Solution Architecture

The Acrel solution integrates:

  • Cloud-based centralized management platform
  • 4G wireless remote communication network
  • Multi-circuit intelligent metering terminals
  • Support for both prepaid and postpaid billing models

This creates a closed-loop system covering accurate metering, transparent billing, remote management, and intelligent safety monitoring.

Core Hardware Support

ANet-1E1SHJ-4G Gateway
The ANet-1E1SHJ-4G gateway collects status information from local devices via RS485/Modbus-RTU and transmits the data to terminal devices, servers, or cloud platforms through wireless communication, enabling wireless interconnection.

Communication Interfaces:

  • Uplink: 4G, Ethernet
  • Downlink: RS485, Ethernet

Hardware Interfaces:

  • RJ45 Ethernet port
  • Green terminal block

Real-Time, Accurate, and Reliable Metering & Billing Logic:

  • Local device metering and billing
  • Real-time data reporting during power usage with an interval accurate to 2 minutes
  • Automatically stops the order when the network is disconnected to prevent losses caused by continued power consumption
  • Orders are not lost during power or network outages; automatic data retransmission after power restoration and network reconnection
