10
Technology Description
Smart meters are electronic devices that record electricity consumption on a hourly basis or more frequently, and report at least daily to utilities. Smart meters are capable of two-way communication, sending time-based pricing information toward the home or demand response commands to devices.
Relevance for Net Zero
Smart meters can facilitate more dynamic demand response through a number of load control mechanisms, e.g. sending real-time prices to smart appliances and switching on/off some devices.
