“…Australia, New Zealand and China have also invested heavily in the smart meter industry in recent years. Smart meters have a high penetration rate in China's eastern coastal provinces; for example, in Zhejiang Province, smart meters cover more than 99% of end users [45].…”
Section: Key Issues Of Dynamic Network Tariffsmentioning
With the ever‐growing demand for electricity, fast development of intermittent renewable energy generation (IREG), and evolving electricity pricing mechanisms, different network tariff schemes are implemented in various countries to address emerging challenges in power system planning and operation as well as electricity market evolution. Given this background, a survey of current practices on dynamic network tariffs in some representative countries is first presented. Subsequently, key issues of dynamic network tariffs including prerequisite, implementation and effects are described. Finally, from the perspective of electricity consumers, distribution system operators (DSOs) and regulatory authorities, the challenges associated with the implementation of dynamic network tariffs are discussed.

The National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) of Brazil, in a bid to encourage energy-conscious energy consumption, has proposed a new sustainable energy tariff modality (the White Tariff) based on off-peak usage. This study aims to compare and contrast situations in which the White Tariff alone is used, and where it is combined with power generation from a generator set or a photovoltaic cell energy system to reduce energy costs. Furthermore, economic, environmental, and social advantages are outlined in the project summaries. Interviews and documentary analyses were conducted in a technology park that uses only the White Tariff and in condominiums that combine the White Tariff with a generator set or a photovoltaic cell system. The data generated was fed into the database of the Horosazonal software to obtain an overview of these companies. Results show that the company adopting the White Tariff alone achieved 19% and US$14,684 in annual savings. However, when the White Tariff is combined with a generator set, the smart grid project proved to be more efficient over time as it obtained an annual benefit of US$35,832 and 62.38% savings. In contrast, the smart grid project combining a photovoltaic cell energy system with the White Tariff achieved an annual benefit of US$52,712, with 68.31% savings and was 1.3 to 5.3 times more profitable than other projects, demonstrating that it was the best smart grip project studied. Furthermore, opting for the White Tariff produced advantages such as a reduction in energy consumption expenses, contributing to a reduction in power outages and blackouts, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and boosting the company image within society. This study shows that energy-conscious consumption combined with the use of renewable energy sources is environmentally and economically advantageous and can provide future generations with a healthier environment in which people can make use of natural resources in a sustainable manner that is sustainable for planet earth.
“…It uses a system that architecture is based on three essential components including a smart meter, a gateway and a user interface to get the results in real-time and to measure the devices. In June 2018 Y. Wang et al [11] did a review on meters for the future Chinese grid. This study focuses on the capabilities of smart meters to be able to provide data reading, remote connection and disconnection as well as advanced control of the charge.…”
This paper is about the elaboration of a roadmap that will help move from classical metering systems to smart metering in Cameroon. The problems encounter in the classical metering systems being the errors in index reading, the billing by estimation and the frauds, the smart metering can be of interest in solving these problems. The goal of this paper is to propose to those in charge with the energy policy of Cameroon, a guide for the deployment of a smart metering system. The meeting with authorities, the annual report of the energy distribution company, the implementation in other countries and the documentations of development strategy in Cameroon, allow us to elaborate a roadmap for smart metering in Cameroon. This roadmap is divided into two phases resumed as follows: the first phase consists to put in place a national monitoring committee, its functional organization chart, and its missions; the second phase is the deployment of equipment. We will start in large cities, followed by medium cities and end with smaller cities. This roadmap could serve as a guide to deploy smart meters in the Central Africa sub-region.
