Smart Metering Brings Intelligence and Connectivityto Energy and Resource Management
As green energy management becomes a global imperative, the idea of implementing intelligent systems and wireless technology to more efficiently use energy and other natural resources has become a pervasive reality. It began with a relatively simple idea. If you add embedded intelligence and a communications link to a traditional metering device, you have the ability to remotely access the data that the “smart meter” has collected. The first and most obvious application of this technology was to streamline the meter reading and billing process. However, through this seemingly simple
