Can someone explain to me the meaning of the following parameters of a digital power meter :

Active power + P

Active power - P

Reactive power + Q

Reactive power - Q

Where have you looked, so far?

Is the 2-nd one the one given up into the grid (consumer generated),

the 3-rd one - inductive reactive, the 4-th - capacitive reactive (or vice versa) ?

Oh, I reckon your colleague, the one over there holding the user guidance leaflet that came with it, could help you. Yes indeed.

So, not me alone would be gazing at the meter, scratching his head wondering : what "Active power - P " 0,5 MW stands for ?

("Active power + P " being 1700 MW for the period)

There's no generic answer.

I'd recommend to carefully check the equipment documentation because those signs are no that universally well defined. For example when commissionning power generation equipment it's, for the inerfacing of devices it's important to know how analog measurement values are defined (as well as 4-20, 0-10 V, +/- 0-10 V,... or data link). For example power flow direction (for reverse power protection), active/reactive power, power factor must be clearly defined when interfacing a digital excitation system with a SCADA system (also compare how things are seen from a generator POV vs. grid POV).
