Challenges:
• Increasing energy demand• Moving to a low carbon
economy• Peak demand• Carbon footprint (151.6 Mt
in 2012)
Nesta, National Grid 2013

Generalization
1- is it possible for elderly people to use of this application
2-Is it understandable for people who don’t have academic education
how we can provide a good and understandable application:
1-Instead of numbers to show bars and charts
2-don’t use a lot of buttons 3- to put voice –over support
Smart Electricity Meter
Bill at each moment Charts to show the green power available from
different renewable energy resources Tips for more efficient usage Power lines which shows their usage behavior
over 24 hours
Are they safe
According to DECC all smart meters are subject to same safety program as mobile phones
Avoiding the need for each kilowatt of pick generation capacity is worth on average 94 $ per kilowatt annually .
UK peak demand= 50 GW dailyUK average demand=30 GW daily
