How are renewable energy advancements influencing smart meter design for grid optimisation and sustainability?

Renewable energy is already reshaping the design and development of smart meters. The implementation of real-time monitoring and data analytics addresses the variability of renewables, helping optimise grid stability and energy distribution. Many smart meters provide detailed energy usage insights, encouraging efficiency and sustainability. Additionally, smart meters now support Time-of-Use (TOU) tariffs, which incentivise energy usage during off-peak hours and encourage consumption when renewable energy generation is high. Renewables have impacted all levels of the energy system, leading to a shift where smart meters are now essential tools for managing bidirectional energy flow. This monitors variable energy sources and enables customers to understand their consumption patterns, inspiring them to transition toward a renewable and sustainable future.

How do IoT-enabled smart meters improve decentralised grid management and support predictive maintenance strategies?

With the evolution of decentralised power grids, IoT-enabled smart meters can play a key role in enhancing grid management and enabling predictive maintenance through real-time data sharing. These technologies support dynamic pricing models, empowering users to optimise energy usage and improve demand-response capabilities. Secure is a pioneer in developing IoT-enabled meters that facilitate seamless communication between decentralised energy sources, smart meters and utilities.
