Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide an assessment of the state- of-art of the technologies that can be used for monitoring demand-side management programs. This paper examines the following techniques that can be used for end-use monitoring: field test equipment, general purpose data loggers, run-time data loggers, utility-oriented data loggers, energy management systems, smart meters, direct and distributed load control, power line carrier techniques, non-intrusive load monitoring and building automation. Additionally, the paper suggests research and development activities, the implementation of which can contribute to more accurate and cost-effective evaluation of the performance of end-use technologies.
