20 years ago smart digital metering systems have driven improved efficiency in DSO operations related to Meter-to-Cash processes. Currently the energy transition towards distributed clean energy production rely on energy awareness of customers and empowered aggregation of beyond-the-meter energy production, storage and consumption. In the short future digitalized DSO’s and empowered aggregated customers will agree on flexibility services to improve reliability of the smart grids.
Metering energy data is essential to fulfill past, present and future challenges of the energy transition. Agreed technical scenarios, protocols and standards are the foundation for an effective dialogue among all stakeholders involved.
