Basically, the idea is simple, smart metering lets the people see how much power their home is consuming and eventually encourage them to use less energy.
In particular, PLC is an efficient way for power metering since an inherent means of communication already exists within the infrastructure.
Results show that (PLC) has real potential for Smart Metering networks where high-levels of interference are present from existing communication technologies.
An Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is an AMR infrastructure with bidirectional smart meters – gateway communication, this offering new advantages.
It can be used to obtain relevant information from the grid, thus adding value to existing smart metering deployments and facilitating utility operational activities.

What are the most effective channels for CSR communication?5 answersThe most effective channels for CSR communication vary depending on the specific context and factors such as the industry in which the company operates. In one study, it was found that participants perceived CSR activities communicated through channels that were suitable for the CSR field and utilized the company's own channels to have lower authenticity when the CSR activities were associated with industries considered "sinful". Another study focused on cognitive radio networks proposed a channel selection scheme that integrated channel selection into the route discovery phase of cooperation-based routing protocols, resulting in improved network performance. Therefore, the effectiveness of CSR communication channels can be influenced by factors such as the alignment of the channel with the CSR field and the industry in which the company operates, as well as the integration of channel selection schemes in the context of cognitive radio networks.
How can smart meters be used to improve energy efficiency?5 answersSmart meters can be used to improve energy efficiency by providing real-time monitoring of energy consumption, enabling consumers to make informed decisions about their energy usage. By collecting data on energy consumption, voltage levels, and power quality, smart meters can identify energy wastage, detect anomalies, and suggest energy-saving strategies. Additionally, smart meters can automatically adjust energy loads based on peak demand periods, optimizing energy distribution and reducing overall energy costs. The use of deep learning-based compression-decompression models can further reduce the size of energy time series data, minimizing energy consumption and delay in transferring the data. Furthermore, smart meters can be used to identify and justify the existence of electricity fraud, leading to improved efficiency in electricity distribution networks. Machine learning techniques, such as XGBoost, can be applied to smart meter data for efficient energy theft detection.
What are the common communication channels or methods for project communications?3 answersCommunication channels commonly used for project communications include mailing lists, forums, issue trackers, chat systems, and email addresses. In open-source projects on GitHub, the most common channels are GitHub Issues, email addresses, and the chat system Gitter. Mailing lists have a lower market share compared to modern chat systems. Additionally, there are various types of communication channels, such as chat, that can be provided in multiple channels within a project. Maintainers of projects are aware of the different properties of channels and help developers decide which channel to use for different purposes. However, the reasons for choosing one channel over another are not always explicitly stated. It is important for maintainers to carefully select and clearly communicate which channels should be used in which cases to avoid overwhelming developers and fragmenting information.
How can smart meters help to reduce energy consumption?5 answersSmart meters can help reduce energy consumption by providing real-time monitoring, intelligent load management, and personalized recommendations for optimizing energy usage. They collect data on energy consumption, voltage levels, power quality, and other relevant parameters, which are transmitted wirelessly to a central monitoring system. By utilizing IoT connectivity, smart meters enable two-way communication, allowing consumers to access their energy usage data remotely and make informed decisions about their energy usage. Additionally, smart meters employ data analytics algorithms to analyze the collected energy data and generate actionable insights, such as identifying energy wastage and suggesting energy-saving strategies. They can also automatically adjust energy loads based on peak demand periods, optimizing energy distribution and reducing overall energy costs. Overall, smart meters offer benefits such as real-time monitoring, increased energy efficiency, cost savings, and reduced environmental impact.
