Bringing low power Communication capabilities into Smart Meters
ENERGY OPTIMIZATION : managing Home Appliances according to the Grid's available resources
INTELLIGENT CONSUMPTION : enabling Communication Networks between devices and control centers
HOME ENERGY PRODUCTION : aggregating and controlling a variety of Energy Resources
More than a meter, Smart Meters contribute to Smart Grid deployment by providing an Advanced Metering Infrastructure with Real-time power measurement. This technological advent of Energy Meters enlarges their applications towards Energy Management such as Demand Response aiming to manage peak periods by reducing energy demand. Achieving this environmental goal will require a reliable connection between the In-Home environment and the utilities' Dynamic Systems Control infrastructure.
Using 6LoWPAN technology, Watteco provides low power PLC and RF technologies for Smart Metering applications including:
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
Automated Meter Reading (AMR) for multi-dwelling building
