On November 14, 2019, part of the partners of the SMI – Smart Meter Inclusif project met on the campus of the Hochschule Offenburg. This meeting allowed the partners to meet again, two months after the official launch of the project. The German partners of the Hochschule Offenburg are in particular responsible and leader of Workpackage 4. This working group corresponds to the security concepts for Smart Grids. It represents an important point discussed in particular at this meeting.
During this meeting, an inventory of the different types of smart meter already existing in France and Germany was then carried out. This allowed to have a knowledge of the current context of the sector.
One of the major objectives of the Smart Meter Inclusif project is the completion of a laboratory prototype. It aims to optimize the individualized management of energy by its user. The various partners present that day discussed the first characteristics of this future smart meter.
The meeting concluded with the organization of an upcoming technical meeting with the presence of the Swiss partners.
