Abstract
Intelligent energy management is essential for alleviating global warming. For this purpose, we have developed a novel type of smart meter, the so-called “Intelligent Meter”, which combines both a smart meter and a smart home system into one single device. This intelligent meter is arguably more capable of energy management and more intelligent than a conventional smart meter. We first explain how this intelligent meter can be developed using an intelligent agent approach, and with this approach it allows the meter to be able to reason about states, actions, as well as causes and effects in real time; then we reveal how this meter adopts this agent ability to create load profiles for home energy usage and also perform other intelligent energy management for home resident.
Interestingly, this intelligent meter is just an instance of a generic agent system, that is, an intelligent SCADA. This research therefore illustrates how our intelligent SCADA can be applied for intelligent energy management in the context of an intelligent meter.
