Energy Companies in Australia Are Being Forced to Look at Demand Side Management Services to Handle the Gigantic Increase in Electricity Demand.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c38857) has announced the addition of 2006 Australia - Broadband Powerlines - Moving into Home Management to their offering Power Line Communications (PLC) has been used since the 1890s to send low level telecoms signals out to activate or deactivate de·ac·ti·vate tr.v. de·ac·ti·vat·ed, de·ac·ti·vat·ing, de·ac·ti·vates 1. To render inactive or ineffective. 2. To inhibit, block, or disrupt the action of (an enzyme or other biological agent). 3. devices along the electricity grid. This technology was further developed over the last century and is used, for example, for the off-peak hot water service that most electricity companies offer their customers nowadays. Broadband Power Line (BPL See broadband over power lines. ) started to arrive in the late 1990s. Simultaneously the energy companies are also being forced to look for telecoms solutions for their core business and are looking at Demand Side Management services to better manage their network, offer better services to their customers and handle the gigantic increase in electricity demand throughout the world and at the same time manage security issues and the environmental impact of all of that. The move from PLC to BPL could well lead to a 3rd national broadband platform to the home next to telecoms and digital TV. - New opportunities in home networking - BPL as an access technology - Analyses and forecasts - Demand Side Management - Smart meter A Smart meter generally refers to a type of advanced meter (usually an electrical meter) that identifies consumption in more detail than a conventional meter; and optionally, but generally, communicates that information via some network back to the local utility for monitoring and reading - BPL pilots in Australia UtiliTel and major utility players in telco market - Technology - Architecture and techniques - Standards, HomePlug and Opera - Interference and challenges 1.THE MARKET IN 2006 1.1Introduction 1.2New opportunities in home networks 1.3BPL as an access technology - analysis 2006 1.4Forecasting BPL 1.5Analysis of the National BPL Summit - November 2005 1.6BPL standards 1.7BPL - one step closer to reality 1.8Radio interference 2.DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT 2.1Introduction 2.2BPL for home automation services - analysis 2.3Demand Side Management 2.4Smart meter readers 2.5Remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer.
