Wider usage will enable us real time data collection (or say every 15 minutes from all meters) and build a super model to predict the energy requirements for future cities and villages.<br /><br />It may be more useful to install energy meters on each of the transformers and specific distribution points- say beginning of a street. This will help to identify the leak/theft points. <br /><br />It is also important to start billing according to time and location. The consumption at 6 pm could be charged at premium than one at 10 am. It is also possible to charge x% more in Jubilee hill(Hyderabad) than one in Hafeezpet(Hyderabad). Finally it should be possible get a report against each lineman/engineer on the recovery rate.Jayanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701160771428326179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5043138489010794057.post-57127158948301769962010-11-15T09:56:40.576+05:302010-11-15T09:56:40.576+05:30Part of the opposition to Smart Meters in the U.S....Part of the opposition to Smart Meters in the U.S. stems from a growing concern regarding potential radiation hazard associated with these meters. Curiously, many of those most vocally concerned about this potential risk ares still avid users of cell phones.J. David Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03216633314433932298noreply@blogger.com
