Smart meters have the potential to improve sustainability of our energy distribution grids by reducing losses in energy distribution and reducing new network build-out. Whilst this stands on its own “green” credentials, this also benefits the energy distribution companies by reducing op-ex and cap-ex costs.
Smart meters do this by exposing information about end-point energy consumption and generation and the “quality” of energy that is received from the distributor. When this information is exposed to the latest grid optimisation tools, it shows distributors how to reconfigure their grids to reduce losses to heat and vibration and better use available capacity.
