智能電網(wǎng)的智能家電設(shè)計(jì)

　　智能電網(wǎng)有望改變游戲規(guī)則，但新游戲的規(guī)則仍在編寫中。迅速發(fā)展的智能電網(wǎng)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施有望降低成本，使各種創(chuàng)新的消費(fèi)、工業(yè)和嵌入式設(shè)備成為可能。

　　智能電網(wǎng)有望成為整個(gè)電子產(chǎn)業(yè)的游戲變革者，包括各種類型的消費(fèi)、工業(yè)和嵌入式設(shè)備。創(chuàng)新是由價(jià)值驅(qū)動(dòng)的，要么是因?yàn)樾庐a(chǎn)品降低了現(xiàn)有技術(shù)的成本，要么是因?yàn)樗峁┝擞脩粼敢庵Ц兜男鹿δ芎托鹿δ堋１M管消費(fèi)者是否愿意為新功能付費(fèi)，但并不總是可預(yù)測的，降低運(yùn)營成本的前景總是吸引人的。

　　考慮照明自動(dòng)化行業(yè)。控制一個(gè)房間里的每一盞燈都有可能超過十年。高端系統(tǒng)提供的功能是每個(gè)消費(fèi)者都喜歡的，只是價(jià)格不足以支付得起或愿意支付。X10技術(shù)提供照明自動(dòng)化的一種有效方法，但它的可靠性令消費(fèi)者興奮。因此，家用照明自動(dòng)化市場經(jīng)歷了有限的增長。

　　With the development of Smart Grid technology， the focus is first and foremost on enabling significant cost savings by intelligently monitoring and managing power consumption. For a few dollars more， appliances will be able to accurately measure power consumption and turn themselves on and off based on power availability and time based pricing tiers. As the Smart Grid is deployed， however， it will also bring with it an infrastructure that will readily support a wide range of automation capabilities.

　　The best candidates for intelligent power management are those appliances which consume a lot of power and are fairly discretionary as to when they are used. The primary consumer of power within the home and business is typically the HVAC （Heating Ventilation A/C） system， followed by appliances with motors and power supplies such as washers and dryers. Items like refrigerators and stoves may consume power but are not discretionary in their use， so the need for them to be smart is much less pertinent.
