No grid stability and resilience without smart meter standards

Peter Jensen, the Chair of IEC Technical Committee 13, which provides standardisation for electric meters inside the International Electrotechnical Commission, answers questions relating to smart meter standards and future requirements.

How important are smart meters in helping grids to remain resilient and provide electricity for all despite increasing demand?

In developed countries, the smart meter has evolved from a simple billing device to becoming an integral part of the electricity network, monitoring energy levels and helping with load management. Carrying out advanced load control schemes is a cornerstone for building resilient grids with a capacity to support a high ratio of local renewable production as well as dynamic loads such as electric vehicle (EV) charging. Tomorrow this will be taken to another level as more and more battery storage will allow the import of energy to the grid for commercial purposes and also to support it when needed to avoid energy shortages.
