Beyond Boundary Meters

Webinar Collection

The deployment of smart meters is ongoing. They are crucial devices, notably to enable dynamic price contracts. In addition, a multitude of sub-meters and dedicated measurement devices could complement them to enable a truly consumer-centric transition.

The revised Electricity Market Design is introducing via EU law these new assets to unleash the flexibility of some behind-the-meter (BTM) decentralised energy resources (DERs) both through explicit and implicit activations.

The webinar will present use cases for both sub-meters and dedicated measurement devices, clarify their distinguishing features and different use.

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
