Meazon’s solution addresses the challenges from distributed energy production and attempts to create a modern scalable, efficient and secure energy marketplace for prosumers
About
The submeter is responsible for accurately measuring a variety of electricity metrics, such as active and reactive power, consumed and produced energy, power factor, voltage, current frequency and higher-order harmonics. Energy efficiency is heavily depended upon energy data acquisition technologies that today have major drawbacks affecting the whole energy efficiency investment lifecycle: (1) Large energy submeters, preventing the monitoring of many loads in the same power distribution panel (2) Expensive equipment and installation costs including wiring and complexity and (3) Monolithic and closed energy monitoring and control systems, locking in the customer with specific vendors for the overall investment lifecycle. US Department of Energy (DOE) has recently (March 2017) declared Meazon as the winner of their energy submeter challenge. The objective of this challenge was the design of a uniquely small, wireless, self-sustained and low cost IoT energy sub-meter for the US energy management industry.
