Smart meters as enablers for feedback information induced energy efficiency and demand response: Case analysis in Latvia

摘要: Energy efficiency and demand response has been an important part of the policy to rollout smart meters. There demonstrated that timely appropriate feedback consumption information can facilitate energy improvements increase side flexibility mitigating peak loads. This paper attempts identify possible load profile changes just from reduction activities. The results suggest in order achieve shaving meters activities should be coupled with dynamic pricing systems such as time-of-use tariffs or real time prices
