Today's electrical grid is a large-scale, heterogeneous, and widely-deployed system that is globally viewed as critical infrastructure. Unfortunately, this century-old system suffers from several major problems including ageing infrastructure, a large carbon footprint, generation plants sized for peak rather than average load, and inability to store more than a tiny fraction of the generated energy. These issues are being addressed by innovations such distributed generation, electric vehicles, the introduction of energy storage, and the use of communication networks to both monitor and control grid elements. These developments will significantly alter the nature of the grid from a unidirectional, centrally-controlled, quasi-static system to a bi-directional, distributed, highly dynamic system, much like the current Internet.****My long-term objective is to apply concepts and technologies pioneered by the Internet to make fundamental contributions to the architecture and operations of the future smart grid. This is possible because the Internet and the grid were both designed to solve similar problems: that of matching geographically distributed suppliers (of information and energy) to consumers in near real-time. Moreover, with the rapidly dropping price for communication and the proliferation of wireless communication infrastructure, it is possible to monitor and control grid elements at a heretofore unprecedented scale. ****The short-term objectives described in this proposal are to define and solve problems in the area of home energy management using information systems technology. I propose five specific projects in line with this short-term objective: home energy measurement, home load modelling, baseload analytics, non-cash incentives for energy efficiency, and smart appliance design. **************

当今的电网是一个大规模、异构且广泛部署的系统，在全球范围内被视为关键基础设施。不幸的是，这个有百年历史的系统存在几个主要问题，包括基础设施老化、碳足迹大、发电厂规模适合峰值而不是平均负载，以及无法存储超过所产生能量的一小部分。这些问题正在通过分布式发电、电动汽车、引入储能以及使用通信网络来监视和控制电网元件等创新来解决。这些发展将显着改变电网的性质，从单向、集中控制、准静态系统转变为双向、分布式、高度动态的系统，就像当前的互联网一样。****我的长期目标是应用互联网开创的概念和技术，为未来智能电网的架构和运营做出根本性贡献。这是可能的，因为互联网和电网的设计目的都是为了解决类似的问题：将地理上分散的供应商（信息和能源）与消费者近乎实时地匹配。此外，随着通信价格的迅速下降和无线通信基础设施的激增，以前所未有的规模监视和控制电网元件成为可能。 ****本提案中描述的短期目标是利用信息系统技术来定义和解决家庭能源管理领域的问题。我根据这一短期目标提出了五个具体项目：家庭能源测量、家庭负载建模、基本负载分析、能源效率非现金激励以及智能家电设计。 **************
