In an interconnected system, tariffs can be set to track the amount of energy supplied by different sources. In this case, the meter, serving as a tool in the smart system, will distinguish multiple flows of energy. For instance, by configuring tariffs through inputs or communication protocols, the meter will differentiate the amount of energy coming from utilities, rather than a solar photovoltaic system or diesel generator. This allows businesses to track the usage of their energy sources, gathering data useful to reduce costs and to consciously plan investments on power-generating technologies.
Today, a number of alternative energy sources is offered to energy consumers: from a growing range of renewables, like solar and wind power, to power generators. Energy users can now interconnect different sources to achieve greater reliability of the overall power system by compensating for unexpected failures and allowing energy users to save or even produce energy whenever possible.
