In sub-Saharan Africa 600 million people lack access to electricity, mainly in rural areas. UN SDG7 includes universal electrification by 2030, but even optimistic estimations see 240Mn Africans lacking electricity in 2030\. With each new grid connection costing between $400-$1200 there is a growing trend towards distributed generation using renewable energy technology (particularly solar, as it has become a viable and cost-effective option for clean and secure energy access at a local residential and commercial level). Decentralised/distributed energy resources (DERs), using renewable energy technologies (RET) as micro-grids can contribute to Africa's electrification, offering simplicity, affordability, faster deployment and cleaner alternatives. Evidence shows willingness to pay for DERs is higher than grid connection because they are seen as more reliable.However, electricity demand/supply matching is critical to micro-grids' success by shifting demand from lower to higher availability times via demand-side management. With micro-grids' growth potential, demonstrating suitability along side (and integration with) the national grids to maintain stability, reliability and availability, while still providing competitive energy costs, is a key requirement.DISMETE2R proposes an IoT-based smart-meter technology platform enabling individual households/small-businesses to track/understand/optimise their energy consumption patterns. The smart-meter will be simple to integrate with electrical panel/consumer unit cabling, interfacing with the power input(s) (incl. RE sources and grid) as well as the site's electrical circuitry phases/breakers in order to measure harmonic current content of the electric/power signal. The platform should enable a modularised multi-energy source offering, while optimising energy source selection based on personalised energy usage data profile of residential/small-business consumers. They should also be SIM card enabled for wireless communications (GSM, GPRS, 3G/4G, WiFi, LoRa etc.) and continuous data collection via an AI/ML-based digital/mobile cloud platform to learn consumers' energy source/usage patterns, providing insights/recommendations on cost savings while being environmentally-conscious to optimise the energy consumption pattern between the RE and grid resource.DISMETE2R will provide data-driven approaches for optimising consumers (residential/small businesses) energy consumption towards more cleaner energy (i.e. RETs) sources, bringing benefits for consumers and operators/regulators by: optimising consumers' energy usage/cost profile; and aggregating consumers data over time for grid/mini-grid operators/developers for enhanced load forecasting/informed infrastructure investment decisions.

在撒哈拉以南非洲，有6亿人缺乏电力，主要是在农村地区。 UN SDG7在2030年之前包括通用电气化，但即使是乐观的估计，请参见2030年缺乏电力的240万非洲人。随着每个新的网格连接的成本在$ 400- $ 1200之间，使用可再生能源技术的分布生成趋势（尤其是太阳能），因为它已成为可行且具有成本效益的选择，可在本地住宅和商业层面上清洁能源访问）。使用可再生能源技术（RET）作为微网格的分散/分布式能源资源（DERS）可以促进非洲电气化，提供简单性，可负担性，更快的部署和更清洁的替代方案。有证据表明，愿意为DERS支付的意愿高于网格连接，因为它们被认为更可靠。但是，通过将需求端管理通过需求端管理，电力需求/供应匹配对微网格的成功至关重要。凭借微网格的增长潜力，证明了与国家电网保持稳定性，可靠性和可用性的同时（同时仍然提供竞争能源成本）的适用性（并集成）是一个关键要求。Dismete2r提出了一个基于IoT的智能计量技术平台，启用个人家庭/小型家庭/小型家庭/小型企业，以跟踪/理解/优化其能源消耗模式。智能仪将与电动面板/消费单元电缆集成，与功率输入（S）（包括RE源和网格）以及站点的电路阶段/断路器接口，以衡量电气/功率信号的谐波电流内容。该平台应启用模块化的多能源产品，同时根据“住宅/小型企业消费者的个性化能源使用数据概况”优化能源选择。还应通过基于AI/ML/ML的数字/移动云平台来启用无线通信的SIM卡（GSM，GPRS，3G/4G，WiFi，Lora等）和连续数据收集，以学习消费者的能量源/用法模式，从而提供有关节省成本的洞察力/建议在环境中提供的能量的洞察力，以享受环境消耗的方式 - 最佳的数据 - 并提供了良好的数据。优化消费者（住宅/小型企业）对更清洁能源（即RETS）来源的能源消耗，从而为消费者和运营商/监管机构带来好处：优化消费者的能源使用/成本资料；以及随着时间的推移将消费者数据汇总为电网/迷你网格运营商/开发人员，以增强负载预测/知情的基础设施投资决策。
