Why social participation in Smart Grid?

• Control or management of what, how, when• Energy measurement/management• Hardware, software and HUMAN EFFORT

• Five ingredients: monitoring, analyzing, target, control, engagement

• Past experience, reports, surveys

Functionality of EMS

• show how, where and when energy is being used and wasted

• alert unexpected excess in consumption• enable to target and drive down consumption; uncover

areas for improvement• dynamic community formation and management • service agreement negotiation• highlight performance problems in equipment or systems• allow to check energy bills; provide automated energy

reporting• provide objective measurement of savings users have

achieved; help assess the success of energy saving measures

• help forecast energy demand
