In the current debate towards a more energy efficient supply and demand in household settings, notions such as smart grids, smart meters and smart appliances are of main importance. Different stakeholders are involved, but often neglected is the exact role of the customer, or more specific, his opinion, attitude, drivers or barriers towards these developments. As a consequence, this paper employs...
In order to comprise energy efficiency for electrical devices in homes, a smart grid-base AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure), which checks electricity consumption and controls the electric energy used with the demand response technique, is necessary for remotely managing the load of the energy and power consumed. The smart controller calculates the amount of electricity consumed by customer on...
Emerging new technologies like distributed generation, distributed storage, and demand-side load management will change the way we consume and produce energy. These techniques enable the possibility to reduce the greenhouse effect and improve grid stability by optimizing energy streams. By smartly applying future energy production, consumption, and storage techniques, a more energy-efficient electricity...
The mounting pressures on conventional energy sources and recent findings on climate change have brought attention to not just how we use energy but also how we manage it and ultimately how we conserve it. Rapid urbanization and increased infrastructure development have posed challenges on how to improve the quality of life without compromising the environment. Cities today consume 75% of the world's...
