摘要: ABSTRACTAdvanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), a subset of smart grid technologies, improves information exchange between electric utility operators and consumers. AMI allows for real-time dynamic pricing where the operator can charge variable prices depending on load demand varying cost delivering electricity.
