Customer Load Monitoring and Intelligent Control Device

To date there are a variety of systems and services worldwide providing the demand-side management functionality. They are applied for reducing electricity losses, increasing consumption efficiency and reducing customers' electricity costs. However, none of them are capable of reasonably-efficient operation within Russian energy market environment. The hardware-software integrated solution was developed for performing demand-side management and providing the information on electricity consumption. The developed solution provides "smart home" functionality with industrial-level stability, reliability and service life. The device enables developing the recommendation for choosing the optimal price category based on the energy consumption statistics. Moreover, it allows to optimize the customers operational cycle within current price category. The introduction of demand-side management systems is beneficial both for the customers and for the grid companies.
