Electric Consumption Assessment using Smart Meter Data and KPI Methodology

Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>In the modern world, many cities make use of state-of-the-art technologies for a diversity of applications. A field with very specific needs is the electric power system that deals with both large entities that govern themselves (grid operators) and the citizens. For both and all actors in between, there is an increased need for information. Steps to provide these data are always taken and several initiatives are ongoing across the world to equip residential users with last generation smart meters. However, a full deployment is still not possible. Considering this aspect, the authors propose KPIs for the specific situation when some information is available from the meters and other sources, but some is not. The study case is based on a residential area occupied mainly by university students and after an extensive measurement campaign the results have been studied and analysis methods proposed.</jats:p>

Assessment of PV Integration in the Industrial and Residential Sector under Energy Market Conditions

“…It is necessary to notice that, in contrast to the simple PP, the discounted PP takes into account the time value of money [22]. The NPV has been presented in our previous papers [4], [23]. The PP formulation is given in [24], [25].…”

“…However, implementing a net metering policy poses a key challenge. Net metering is important for residential consumers [4] as PV creates a significant amount of surplus power during the middle of the day, when households typically consume less power [5].…”

Implementing Smart City Technologies to Inspire Change in Consumer Energy Behaviour

“…Partners from the EU (Latvia and Romania) represented energy experts but partners from LAC (Brazil, Chile and Barbados) served as experts in ICT Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) and applications developers. While intermediary results of the work are well explained in respective publications [7][8][9], this paper aims to present outcomes of successful intercontinental collaboration and provide the research community insights into tailored approaches in advancing energy efficiency.…”

“…Studied applications for these specific meter data included, but were not limited to, evaluation of dorms carbon footprint, monitoring power quality, utilising data as input for control algorithms for hybrid microgrids in local energy communities [41] and developing unique indicators of energy usage [9].…”
