The smart meter, a device for utilities to measure a customer's energy consumption, is probably the most recognized symbol of the future smart electric grid. However, current smart meters are not really smart. They essentially are digital versions of the traditional mechanical meter enhanced with telecommunication capability. Many of the benefits brought by the smart meters are actually attributable to their communication capability, not metering capability. A huge opportunity exists for innovations that can harness the meters' measurement capabilities. This Discovery Grant, therefore, seeks to establish a research program focused on the research and development of Next Generation Smart Metering Technologies, by building on the proponent's strength in power disturbance measurement, diagnosis and analysis.

智能电表是公用事业公司测量客户能源消耗的设备，可能是未来智能电网最受认可的标志。然而，目前的智能电表并不真正智能。它们本质上是传统机械仪表的数字版本，增强了电信能力。智能电表带来的许多好处实际上是由于其通信能力，而不是计量能力。对于能够利用仪表测量能力的创新来说，存在着巨大的机会。因此，这项发现补助金旨在建立一个研究计划，重点是研究和开发下一代智能计量技术，通过建立在电力干扰测量，诊断和分析的支持者的实力。
