Appraising the Economics of Smart Meters: Costs and Benefits de Jacopo Torriti

Appraising the Economics of Smart Meters: Costs and Benefits: Routledge Studies in Energy Policy

Autor Jacopo Torriti
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 mar 2020
This book focuses on the economics of smart meters and is one of the first to present comprehensive evidence on the impacts, cost-benefits and risks associated with smart metering.
Throughout this volume, Jacopo Torriti integrates his findings from institutional cost-benefit analyses and smart metering trials in a range of European countries with key economic and social concepts and policy insights derived from almost ten years of research in this area. He explores the extent to which the benefits of smart meters outweigh the cost, and poses key questions including: which energy savings can be expected from the roll out of smart meters in households? Is Cost-Benefit Analysis an appropriate economic tool for assessing the impacts of smart metering rollouts? Can smart meters play a significant role in research on people’s activities and the timing of energy demand? Torriti concludes by providing a much-needed survey of recent changes and expected future developments in this growing field.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy policy and demand and smart metering infrastructure.

Recenzii

"Smart meters are both a major weapon in the hands of consumers, and a subject of some public controversy. This important book explains what smart meters can do, how they are used in different countries, and how we can best take advantage of them to benefit consumers and promote decarbonisation." -- Martin Cave, Professor, Chair of Ofgem, the UK energy regulator
"Smart meters are regarded as critical for the digitalisation of our electricity system, and yet there has been limited understanding and evidence about the value and benefits of these multi-billion-pound investment programmes. This book tackles its subject with genuine passion, showing in innovative ways how smart meters relate to our everyday lives and explaining the costs and benefits of smart meters in Europe and beyond. It is the one-stop book for anyone working or studying issues related to smart meters in industry, policy or research." -- Jonathan Graham, Head of Markets and Strategy for Distributed Energy Systems, Siemens UK
"A long-awaited must-read (even must read twice), this book takes a comprehensive and innovative approach to electricity smart metering. Many thanks to Jacopo for opening the smarter meter blackbox from all possible angles and using his established legitimacy to explain to the reader all the alternative choices and possible outcomes". -- Jean-Michel Glachant, Professor, Loyola de Palacio Professor in European energy policy and Director Florence School of Regulation (European University Institute).
"Flexible demand will be critical in future low carbon electricity systems, and yet understanding of how to achieve that remains inadequate. It is clear that smart meters will be needed. This book provides a timely and comprehensive assessment of the economics of that investment." -- Nick Eyre, Professor, Director, Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions
"Understanding the responses of consumers in the smart, flexible and decarbonised energy system of the future is critical to its success. This book distils the findings of cutting-edge research on the economics of smart meters and hence represents a key element in understanding the role of costs in how people use energy services." -- Neil Strachan, Professor, Director, UCL Energy Institute
"Drawing on an impressive range of interdisciplinary research, this book opens up economic, social and policy aspects of smart meters and energy demand. It makes an excellent read for anyone interested not only in smart meters, but also in the use of economic appraisals as part of large infrastructure projects." -- Susana Mourato, Professor, Head Of Department of Geography & Environment, London School of Economics

Extract from review in Economics of Energy & Environmental Policy (EEEP)
"For anyone interested in the continuous transformation of the electricity sector and in understanding the complexity of the changes brought forward by new technologies this book is a fascinating read. […] I would recommend this book to a broad audience, from graduate students to analysts and policy makers, as an objective, evidence-based reference on the costs and benefits of smart meters. Learning from another’s scholar experience will also give guidance and perspective to researchers interested in studying high frequency energy consumption data to enhance consumer participation in energy markets or to understand behavioural and social practices related to energy consumption." -- Elena M. Fumagalli Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development, Utrecht University, Netherlands
