Despite the increasing adoption of smart meters, especially for electrical power measurements, a very large number of utility inspectors manually execute readings of legacy analog meters (e.g., for gas or water utilities). Unfortunately, manual data collection generates a lot of paperworks and is clearly error prone. In this work, authors suggest the adoption of smartglasses to automatize this process...
Advantages of smart metering are well known: more control of resource usage, accurate bills and better budgeting. For this reason roll out plans have been created not only for electricity, but also for gas distribution. In such a scenario, some additional difficulties arise due to the need of a wireless and autonomous functioning of meters. In particular, measurement techniques and communication protocols...
In the last years, the increasing focus on energy savings is the key factor in the transformation of the legacy distribution grid toward the so called smart grid. One of the most evident, it is the wide diffusion, in some countries, of smart metering technologies for monitoring of customer electrical consumption. The proven benefits of this technology suggested to the Italian regulative agency the...
