Smart Energy Day

Smart energy is one of today’s most prominent buzzwords. Far beyond the “smart” electricity meter this concept also includes the transmission of measurement data to electricity suppliers and end consumer as well as intelligent networking within the household. The central requirement of smart energy solutions is the intelligent transmission of encoded consumer data and tariff information at short intervals to measurement service providers and end consumers in order to enable variable electricity consumption depending on price model and network utilisation.

In this one day technical seminar the german electronics magazine DESIGN&ELEKTRONIK together with Arrow is providing all the detailed technical information necessary for the realisation of smart energy concepts.
