Instrumentation device to the amount of water used by the user is a water meter by measuring management stability is necessary. But with the onset of winter to meter water was ice inside the phase change and about 9 % and increase the volume of the meter is damaged. The existing protection bleed water meter freeze protection technology into three great bootong, supplying the heat insulation inside the external protection, water metering for water meter in the freeze protection will be divided into installing the device. Not see how far the structure for the commercialization of new technology-based products and aims to develop technologies that do not require an external power supply. Thus, freeze more vulnerable by internal pressure of the interpretation applied to a water meter in temperatures below zero internal pressure to confirm the area of preventing damage and freeze protection that can reduce the effect is superior to develop a water meter.

The market trends of automatic meter reading associated with smart water meters were investigated. Also, recent developments and field applications of key technology for automatic meter reading associated with smart water meters were analyzed. Smart water meters have been manufactured mostly in United States and Europe and have been expanded their business to Asia. Integrated water management system combining with the additional functions such as real-time consumption metering, cost notification, water conservation, leak detection, water quality monitoring, and flow control have been operated in automatic meter reading. Both water quality and quantity data measured from smart water meters and sensors were transferred to data concentration units through neighborhood area network, and then were transferred to integrated server through wide area network. The data transfer methods were determined by comprehensively considering urban scale, density of smart water meters, power supply and network topologies. Common data collection methods such as fixed network to data concentation units, vehicles drive by, people walk by, and drone fly by have been applied. The automatic meter reading associated with smart water meters are spread throughout the world, and both water and energy savings result in saving the money and reducing the greenhouse gases emission.

Water meter frost in winter is a nuisance to the water administration and citizen as well. It causes stop of water supply, possibility of accident due to leakage freezing, and additional official work to change frost water meters. This study was carried out to give some basic information of water meter frost condition, to verify the effect of frost protection devices such as lagging vinyl cover, electric heater, and meter pit using subterranean heat. Nearly half of the number of the water meter frost happens in old apartment house with outer corridor, and temperature of the meter box was measured in that kind of apartment house, comparing with atmosphere temperature. The capability of three kinds of lagging vinyl cover was investigated by measuring the inside temperature of the insulated box. Also the capability of existing meter pits and new meter pits using subterranean heat was compared by measuring the inside temperature of the pits. One of the result is that the inside temperature of meter pits using subterranean heat was higher than that of the existing ones, and deeper pit causes higher inside temperature in case of using subterranean heat.

Recently, several papers for reading meters remotely using RFID/USN technologies have been presented. In the case of water meter, there has been neither commercial product nor paper. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of wireless digital water meter with low power consumption. We use magnetic hole sensors to compute the amount of water consumption. The meter of water consumption is transferred via ZigBee wireless protocol to a gateway. Low power consumption design is essential since a battery should last till the life time of water meter. We present that dual batteries haying 3V, 3000mAh, would last 8 years by analyzing the real power consumption of our water meter.

계량기의 시장이 독점 시장에서 자유 시장으로 천이 되면서 시장은 계량기의 상호운용능력과 계량기의 지능, 관리능력 그리고 보안등의 부가적인 기능들을 요구 하게 되었다. 이러한 시장의 요구에 맞추어 DLMS 프로토콜을 표준으로 하고 COSEM 오브젝트 모델링 기법을 사용하는 계량기 표준인 IEC 62056이 제정되었다. 본 논문에서는 IEC 62056에서 정의한 프로토콜 및 서비스에 적합한 DLMS/COSEM 계량기의 S/W 아키텍처 및 그 설계 방법을 제안한다. 계량기 S/W는 크게 MCS와 MOM으로 구성되며, MCS는 계량기의 모델링 스크립트로 COSEM 오브젝트와 계량기의 구체적인 기능을 명시하고, MOM은 MCS를 읽어 계량기를 구동 시키는 모듈로 MCS에서 선언된 기능 및 동작을 해석하여 계량기를 전기, 가스, 수도 등의 기능을 갖는 계량기로 동작시키는 역할을 한다.

This research developed a remote communication system for automatic water meter reading and charge calculation from the field of a house or apartment complexes within the same district. Developed system was applied to perform measurements of the pulse-sensing technology, the minimum power consumption, temperature compensation, short-range wireless communications technology, the handset and wireless communication capabilities of the DB management embedded software to efficiently control. Through this reading-related tasks that are required in a temporal, material and human resources can be minimized.

The freezing of the water meter due to the cold wave in winter causes safety accidents caused by freezing and suspending the supply of tap water and various inconveniences. In this study, the water meter develops a test device similar to the environment in which the actual freezing occurs and tests repeatedly by changing the temperature, humidity, flow rate, pressure, valve improvement, pump operation status, etc. Based on the data obtained through this, it is planning to predict the timing of freezing by applying AI technology to correlation between freeze influencing factors.
