Method for determining the feasibility of grid and ancillary services through smart meter

Impact Assessment of NILM Methods for an Enhanced Observability of Low Voltage Distribution Networks

“…The integration of smart meters has increased at household levels in recent years replacing technologies based on manual readings and unidirectional power flow measurements. Some of the functions integrated into smart meters include remote measurements, real time power consumption and consumption profiles for customer awareness, bidirectional power flow records, remote control, advanced tariff schemes, secure data communications, and fraud prevention and detection [8], [9]. These functionalities facilitate distribution network planning, control, and real time operation.…”
