Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method for intelligent metering of natural gas, including obtaining a metering value of the natural gas used by a user in a time period from a metering device via a network, the metering device being located at a gas supply terminal of a transmission pipe network, and determining a consumption amount of natural gas based on the metering value and a pricing scheme. The pricing scheme includes a volume-based pricing scheme and an energy-based pricing scheme. Volume unit prices of the natural gas in different component types are different, and are determined based on an adjustment model.
