MAKING SENSE OF SMART METERING DATA

摘要

Smart water metering promises many benefits including customer empowerment, support for policy-making and environmental savings. This paper gives an overview of a new activity pattern model that can be learnt automatically from collected water meter readings. The model is used to identify and explain water use patterns. A case study from 188 houses in the Western Australian mining town of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is used to demonstrate the potential of activity pattern modelling for effective smart metering.
