The smart metering is literally the act of using a smart meter. 80% of smart meters roll out in Europe by 2020 is the goal the European Parliament set out in 2009 in its Directive on common rules for the internal market in electricity. Smart metering represents as well a technological as an economic approach allowing to. reduce costs (economic) related to consumption due to real-time monitoring of power consumption. It allows to optimize the entire chain of the industrial process. And the use of the huge amount of data recorded by smart meters allows to adopt strategies allowding to benefit from utilities dynamic pricing pricing policies. Smart meters would allow industrial consumers to make significant savings by shifting their consumption away from peak hours to which the energy price is higher. and reduce risk (technological) And it allows to identify anomalies throughout an industrial process that can be significant for the industry at various scales that range from predicting consumption costs (time scale of industrial process.
