Australia Smart Infrastructure and Smart Energy Driven by the Internet of Things: Latest Report

Australia - Smart Infrastructure - Smart Energy driven by The Internet of Things

Australian is right up with the international leaders With a better understanding of the complexity of the transformation of the electricity industry, the words ‘smart energy’ are becoming more prominent. BuddeComm believes that the term ‘smart grids’ is too narrow and that eventually ‘smart energy’ will become the accepted terminology, especially once the communications developments in national broadband networks and mobile broadband start to converge with smart grid developments.

Smart energy signifies a system that is more integrated and scalable, which extends through the distribution system from businesses and homes, back to the sources of energy. A smarter energy system has sensors and controls embedded into its fabric. Because it is interconnected there is a two-way flow of information and energy across the network, including information on pricing. In addition it is intelligent, making use of proactive analytics and automation to transform data into insights and efficiently manage resources. This links with the telecoms development known as M2M or the ‘internet of things’ (IOT). For this to happen, various functional areas within the energy ecosystem must be engaged – consumers, business customers, energy providers, regulators, the utility’s own operations, smart meters, grid operations, work and asset management, communications, and the integration of distributed resources. With energy consumption expected to grow worldwide by more than 40% over the next 25 years, demand in some parts of the world could exceed 100% in that time. This will produce an increase in competition for resources, resulting in higher costs. In an environment such as this, energy efficiency...
