Can Smart Meters Create Smart Behaviour?

Intelligent technologies are increasingly facilitating sustainable water management strategies in Australia. While this innovation can present clear cost benefits to utilities through immediate leak detection and deference of capital costs, the impact of this technology on households is less distinct. By offering real-time engagement and detailed end-use consumption breakdowns, there is signifi...

Smart meters: A users' view

Smart meters are assumed to contribute to energy conservation by providing updated consumption data to energy utilities, but, given their pervasive presence in consumers’ homes, they could also provide timely feedback to energy consumers/users. A precondition, however, is that smart meters are really usable to lay consumers. In the present study 40 participants were videorecorded while performi...

Smart Power Grids Security: Smart Meters and Home Gateway Scenarios

This paper gives an overview of the security issues regarding power grids. It is targeted to use case scenarios, namely smart metering, and home gateway for applications like electric cars and home multimedia contents distribution over the power grid. The scenarios are described, the architectural model of the smart power grid is described at a high level, the actors and data types are identifi...

Smart Energy Consumption Feedback - Connecting Smartphones to Smart Meters

tinuously increasing and now accounts for about one third of the total electrical energy produced in Europe. Many individuals would be interested in saving energy (and thus also carbon dioxide as well as money), but they lack information on their consumption. Indeed, feedback on household electricity usage is typically only provided by monthly (or even annual) utility bills and therefore remain...
