It's not just about doing a pilot and then collecting data off of
smart meters. Utilities looking to manage data coming from smart
metering must have a multi-tiered plan in place, Larsh Johnson,
director and CTO of eMeter,
said during a GTM Webinar on Wednesday moderated by Chet Geschickter,
Smart Grid Analyst with GTM Research.
While many people argue that smart meters are an end point and represent just one part of the smart grid, Johnson said that they should be thought of as a strong starting point that allows for greater intelligence below the substation level.
That intelligence, however, does not come without planning. "It's only getting worse, or better, depending on your viewpoint," Johnson said in regards to the amount of information that will be relayed through devices in the home area network, including smart thermostats, solar panels, smart appliances and electric vehicles.
