Under the current trend of power reform, traditional power grid operators are seeking to transform themselves, and various types of integrated energy service companies have emerged. Competition for customer resources is bound to become increasingly fierce. However, with the deepening of the concept of...
With smart meters, most utilities rushed to ensure this information was presented to their customers, but so what? If you don’t give customers the tools and options to control their usage, they won’t be interested. Can you give me some examples of how data-rich utility companies can use...
smart cities. By combining with renewable energy equipment, smart meters can optimize the distribution and utilization of energy, reduce dependence on traditional energy, and achieve sustainable development of green energy. At the same time, smart meters can also monitor energy waste and leakage, ...
Millions of households with smart meters (计量表) could soon be paid to use less energy at peak (高峰) times this winter in the UK. The new plan would be carried out by National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) following a successful try with Octopus Energy customers. Under the plan...
Secondly, the finding that those highly identified with the referent group tended to sustain energy reductions offers a powerful potential tool for companies already implementing normative feedback interventions, such as Opower (Schultz et al., 2018). It should follow that communications enhancing the ...
In some implementations, utility companies are deploying AMI using a blend, with power line used to communicate from the data collector to the electricity meter and RF used between the electricity meter and other in-home meters or devices. An interesting Google Maps page highlighting worldwide AMR...
摘要: Another 37,000 FirstEnergy Corp. customers are about to get smart meters, but will they sign up for programs that use the technology to take stress off the regional power grid? Most probably won't, if the first phase of the pilot project is any indication....
Smart meters, smart thermostats, and other new technologies provide previously unavailable high-frequency and location-specific energy usage data. Many utilities are now able to capture real-time, customer specific hourly interval usage data for a large proportion of their residential and small commercia...
The level of services and benefits that electric companies offer their customers has increased since they began deploying smart meters more than a decade ago. Smart meters provide data that households can use to manage energy, save money, set budgets, receive outage alerts and updates, and reduce...
However, the move away from physical heating controls may exacerbate the problem. Not all people will be able and willing to engage with smart meters. While there is a lack of research into the extent of energy literacy across different social groups in the UK, digital exclusion may leave som...
