A novel apparatus is introduced in this paper used to measure high voltage electric energy based on three-phase four-wire virtual-ground theory. The virtual-ground design, Faraday shielding technique and Warner DC (Direct Current) self-supply method are integrated in this apparatus based on new I/V, V/V techniques to realize high accuracy, reliability and wide-linear range measuring. The effectiveness of the apparatus has been proved by in-house calibration and on-site test . The test result shows that it can be used in high voltage grid on-site calibration . Its measurement uncertainty can be limited to 0.1% under the condition of PF=1.0~0.8, and can reach 0.15% as PF=0.5. In summary, the apparatus discussed in this paper can be applied as high voltage electric energy measurement instrument to meet the requirement of online metrological verification and calibration. Furthermore, it is very useful for building the system of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) in smart grid.

This paper discusses the basic scheme for establishing advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) by applying a high-voltage electric energy on-site calibration apparatus. The apparatus can work as an on-site working standard for implementing on-site calibration or verification to kinds of meters, electric energy metering cabinet and electric energy device in AMI. Furthermore, this paper provides a technical mean for calculating parameters of power grid, such as transformer loss and wire loss, in accordance with the principle of energy conservation. 10kV high voltage on-site calibration apparatus had been developed successfully and has been running in the power grid, on-site test results can prove that the scheme is feasible. Establishing a complete AMI system is of great significance for building a strong smart grid.
