I’m looking for an Ernegy Meter that functions on a very economic technology and easy to use ,for customers that have been by passing Pre paid meters and thereby revenue losses incurred ,basically we want a meter that will revive revenue and be impossible to by pass

I am looking for smart meters which could detect if some tries to bridge or put a short across the meter, for the reason of stealing electricity. Also the meter should be able to communicate and inform a monitoring station, the mornitering station should be able to send a signal which can turn off the power to that particular smart meter to that only house being suppled iby that particular meter.

Why didnt you include the fuel cell technology using natural gas to be converted into electricity on site?
While working at Southern California Gas company in 2000, there was a fuel cell project in the technology department that would develop 11 MW of electricity using PEM procedures.

What happened to the fuel cell hardware and process to use natural gas to turn into electricity?

I’m excited that major appliance manufacturers are starting to consider energy saving technologies for the next generation consumer products!

Energy conservation is going to play a major role worldwide as demand for energy increases exponentially due to the rising economic status of several third world nations.

As a strong supporter of technology, you can be assured that I’ll be first in line when Smart Metering and other Smart Grid technologies become available in my area!

Thank you for your continued efforts in this critical area of technology!

I’m an electrical engineer and I feel this is the way of the future. This is fantastic technology. I used to work at Maytag in the laundry appliance controller design group. I wish they pursued more of this type technology there. Keep up the great work and we’ll all get there with Net Zero homes.
