Abstract
Introduction
Smart metering offers electricity distribution companies an opportunity to
revolutionise the way that energy demand is managed. With this metering and
switching technology embedded in the network at a low level, monitoring,
maintenance and potentially overall capacity of the network stand to benefit
as improved management allows it to respond to the increasing demands placed
upon it.
Scope of this research
- understanding of the coming challenges facing distribution network
operators as energy usage changes
- insight into how smart metering will allow greater management of existing
distribution networks, increasing their capabilities
- visibility of the complexities micro-generation and distributed demand
management will place on the distribution networks
- overview of how Smart metering can be used for more than just domestic
demand management, making existing networks work smarter, not harder
Research and analysis highlights
The European Technology Platform aims to have Smart distribution and
transmission networks in place throughout Europe by 2020, which will
revolutionize the way power systems are monitored and managed.
Smart metering technology advanced will help distribution and transmission
companies face the challenges of the ever changing nature of demand and
supply, with shifts from centralized generation and greater reliances of
consumers on power
Efficiency savings through the introduction of smart grids will generate
significant financial rewards, though the environmental benefits will be even
greater, with optimisation of green generation assets and reduction of
tranmission and distribution losses.
Key reasons to purchase this research
- Understand at a high level the difficulties facing distribution networks
with capacity constraints and demand management
- learn how the development of smart metering can help energy companies face
the environmental challenges of the future
- gain insight into the increasingly sophisticated techniques available to
distribution and tranmission networks to manage and maintain their assets
