可再生能源的扩大部署以及智能电表的广泛部署能够并鼓励家庭需求管理。像智能电表一样，大多数太阳能或其他可再生能源的部署允许房主仔细监控能源供应和过去的能源消耗，然而，使用这些信息来驱动需求管理仍然是一个人工过程。我们工作的首要目标是自动化调整能源需求以满足供应的过程，这需要对家庭能源使用有全面的了解。虽然存在家用能源测量系统，但它们通常是侵入式的——需要几个物理组件，并且通常使用有限的资源，包括能源和带宽。本文提出了一种家庭综合能源测量系统的设计方案，并对基本系统的资源需求进行了分析。使用从六个部署中收集的数据，包括一个离网家庭中的数据，我们提出了两种减少系统资源需求的技术。我们的技术减少了系统的能源足迹以及所需的物理基础设施的数量，使采用该系统更具吸引力，特别是对于那些居住在可再生能源家庭的人。
The expanding deployment of renewable energy sources as well as the widespread deployment of smart meters enables and encourages demand management in homes. Like smart meters, most solar or other renewable deployments allow homeowners to carefully monitor energy supply and past energy consumption, however, using this information to drive demand management is still a manual process. The overarching goal of our work is to automate the process of adapting energy demand to meet supply, which requires a comprehensive understanding of home energy use. Though home energy measurement systems exist, they are often intrusive---requiring several physical components and using often limited resources including energy and bandwidth. In this work, we present the design of a system for comprehensive home energy measurement and analyze the resource requirements of the basic system. Using data collected from six deployments, including one in an off-grid home, we then present two techniques for reducing the resource requirements of the system. Our techniques reduce the energy footprint of the system as well as the amount of physical infrastructure required, making adoption of the system more attractive, particularly to those who live in homes powered by renewable energy sources.
