Smart Meter Turkey

Almost 1.5 million Smart Meter for gas/water/electricity were implemented by Elektromed in Turkey. 1 million of those Smart Meter are gas meters and the rest are prepayment electric and prepayment water meters. Number of prepayment Smart Meter for water will reach to 500.000 pieces at the end of 2008 which means highest record in the world for Smart Meters usage.

Smart Meter Canada

Smart Meter technology in Canada has been developed by the Ontario Energy Board in Ontario. Canadian government deployed Smart Meters to 800,000 homes and small businesses in 2007.

Smart Meter is actively pursued in Jurisdictions such as California are. Smart Meter was approved On July 20, 2006, by California's energy regulators to roll out conventional meters. Smart Meter in Northern California territory of PG&E reports electricity consumption on an hourly basis. This enables PG&E to set pricing that varies by season and time of the day, thus Smart Meter rewarding customers who shift energy use to off-peak periods. Other then Smart Meter the smart grid also allows PG&E to give customers timing and pricing options for upload to the grid.
Smart Meter was chosen by the largest municipal utility in the U.S the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), to expand its advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) serving its commercial and industrial (C&I) customers. Smart Meter is creating potential for reducing their monthly electricity bill and, at a broader level, contributing to global energy conservation.

SMART METER ITALY

Smart meter’s & largest "smartest" Smart Meter deployment was undertaken by Enel SpA, in Italy. It has about 27 million customers of Smart Meter. Between 2000 and 2005 Enel deployed Smart Meters to its entire customer base.
These Smart Meters are fully electronic and Smart, with integrated bi-directional communications, advanced power measurement and management capabilities. These Smart Meters are integrated with software-controllable disconnect switch, and an all solid-state design. These Smart Meters communicate over low voltage power line using standards-based power line technology from Echelon Corporation to Echelon data concentrators at which point they communicate via IP to Enel's enterprise servers.
This Smart Meter system provides a wide range of advanced features. Enel’s Smart Meters include the ability to remotely turn power on or off to a customer. These Smart Meters can read usage information from a meter & detect a service outage. Smart Meters could also detect the unauthorized use of electricity & change the maximum amount of electricity that a customer can demand at any time. Enel’s Smart Meters remotely change the meter's billing plan from credit to prepay as well as from flat-rate to multi-tariff.

Smart Meter

Smart Meter is an advanced Meter usually an electrical Meter. Smart Meter identifies consumption in more detail than a conventional Meter. Smart Meter is also considered as ECO meters. By 2010, every home and small business in Ontario will have a Smart Meter as Smart Meters can manage and reduce your electricity costs. Smart Metering, is the new options for managing and reducing your electricity costs. Smart Meter also has a positive impact on the environment.

Smart Meter Overview

Smart meter often refers to an electrical meter, but it can increasingly also mean a device measuring natural gas or water consumption. Term Smart meter, usually refers to an efficient meters. Smart Meters usually involve a different technology mix, such as real-time or near real-time sensors, power outage notification, and power quality monitoring. These additional features in Smart Meter are more than simple (AMR). Smart Meters are also believed to be a less costly alternative to traditional interval or time-of-use meters and are intended to be used on a wide scale with all customer classes, including residential customers. Smart meters may be part of a smart grid, but alone do not constitute a smart grid.


Smart Meter Purpose

Smart Meters can improve the inception of electricity deregulation. Government regulators have been looking for a means to match consumption with generation. Traditional electrical meters only measure total consumption. Smart Meters provide an economical way of measuring this information, Smart Meters allow price-setting agencies to introduce different prices for consumption based on the time of day and the season.

Smart Meter ECO Factor

Smart Meter is and Eco friendly product, simply because smart meter help us measure the consumption of energy and the loss of energy. Smart Meter not only measures the consumption of energy but also points at the loss of energy and helps us control theses losses.
