Exploiting event-driven metering to enable enhanced knowledge of electrical energy uses

Abstract

This paper presents the results obtained from a new type of electricity meter, constructed as the industrial application of event-driven metering concepts. The underlying concepts of event-driven metering are applied to gather information on the electrical load patterns. The data formats used are presented and the details of the knowledge representation referring to the results coming from event-driven metering are discussed. The event-driven metering approach is illustrated by using data gathered from real-life applications.
