STMicroelectronics’ wireless microcontroller enhances energy efficiency and sustainability in Sindcon smart meters

 


【Lansheng Technology News】On September 18, 2023, STMicroelectronics recently announced its cooperation with Singapore smart meter manufacturer Sindcon IoT Technology Pte. Ltd. to use STMicroelectronics’ STM32WLE5 LoRaWAN® wireless microcontroller to transform and upgrade Sindcon’s smart meters. The meter is deployed to Sindcon’s energy network of more than 50,000 water, gas and electricity meters in Jakarta, Indonesia.


Paolo Oteri, Asia Pacific Marketing Director of STMicroelectronics, said: "The STM32WLE5 microcontroller (MCU) uses long-distance, low-power wireless communication technology and can remotely read meters through the LoRaWAN wireless network, effectively solving problems in the vast and diverse urban area of Jakarta. and meter reading challenges in densely forested areas. The STM32 wireless microcontroller is a lightweight system-on-chip (SoC) that allows customers like Sindcon to integrate more functions into smart meters without increasing the size or form factor of the product. size."


Sindcon CEO Chen Deyu said: "In Jakarta, Sindcon smart meters are installed in apartments, communities, industrial water supply facilities and shopping malls. Such installation environments make meter reading quite difficult and expensive. We chose STM32WLE5 Because it brings customers the advantages of high integration and optimizes the performance, size, security and power consumption of smart meters."


The project will be Sindcon’s first deployment of smart meters based on STMicroelectronics STM32WLE5CC wireless MCU in Indonesia. STM32WLE5CC is a highly integrated Sub-GHz wireless microcontroller, equipped with an Arm® Cortex®-M4 processor core clocked at 48 MHz, integrating 256 KB flash memory, 64 KB SRAM, LoRa® modulator and AES 256-bit encryption unit. Sindcon's upgraded energy meter uses STM32WLE5, includes an advanced battery management system, and supports remote meter reading with accuracy for ten years.


These meters are currently being renovated and upgraded and will be fully installed by the end of 2023.

What are the Benefits of Power Optimizers?

Image
  Power optimizer for solar panels is a DC/DC converter that is connected to each solar panel in the PV system, turning them into smart modules. By constantly monitoring the maximum production capacity of each individual solar module, optimizers can increase your PV plant energy production – potentially increasing revenue and shortening system payback time. Simply put, the main benefit of power optimizer is that it maximizes the performance of each panel individually. What are the benefits of power optimizers and why are they needed? When installing solar panels, the panels are connected into groups or arrays. In the case of roof-mounted and in-roof panels, there are usually 12-20 solar panels in one group. If the productivity of one of these panels decreases (shadows from trees and clouds, dust, bird droppings, failures of PV components and other factors), then the productivity of the whole group decreases. Defective or shaded panels may produce 15 to 25 percent less solar energy ...

What is a Power Conditioner?

Image
  Looking to protect your sensitive and expensive electronics? Surge protection is a great start, but power conditioners also offer valuable protection for components in entertainment and sound systems, as well as home office devices. What does a power conditioner do that a surge protector can’t? Surge protectors are a great defense against damaging voltage spikes. However more than surges and spikes can effect certain sensitive electronic devices. Radio frequency interference (RFI), electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and voltage fluctuations can also effect sound, entertainment, and office devices, causing a reduction in sound and picture quality. How does it work? Power conditioners act as a buffer between the outlet and your system, smoothing out voltage fluctuations as well as radio and electromagnetic interference that can effect system performance. Initially used in industrial, research and laboratory applications, not long after the introduction of home computer systems, th...
