Using smart meters and data mining to inform demand management

Abstract

Data analytics for smart water meters, is the process of discovering valuable knowledge from usage data. Analysis of customers’ smart meter consumption data can be used to underpin demand management strategies. This document has two central aims:

1. to describe a suite of data analytics methods for understanding household water meter data; and

2. to quantify potential water saving scenarios with each technique based on real-world case studies of two distinct populations.
