Ngexesha lezindlu zedijithali kunye nokuhlala okuzinzileyo,imitha yamandla ekrelekreleivele njengotshintsho oluzolileyo kwindlela esilandela ngayo kwaye silawula ngayo umbaneubudala. Ezi zixhobo zingaphezulu kakhulu nje kokuhlaziywa kwedijithali kweemitha ze-analog ezingaqhelekanga ezazikhe zafundwa ngabafundi beemitha kwii-ovaroli, kodwa ziyinkqubo yemithambo-luvo yolawulo lwamandla lwanamhlanje.—ukuhlanganisa amakhaya, iinkonzo, kunye negridi ebanzi ngedatha yexesha langempela.
Ukuhlalutya iziseko
Imitha yamandla ekrelekrele sisixhobo esiqhagamshelwe kwi-intanethi esilinganisa i-h yakhoUsebenzisa amandla ka-OME aze athumele loo datha ngokuzenzekelayo kwinkampani yakho yombane. Ngokungafaniyo neemitha zemveli, ezifuna ukujongwa ngesandla (kwaye zihlala ziqikelela ukusetyenziswa phakathi kokutyelela), iimitha ezikrelekrele zithumela idatha rhoqo—ngeyure, ngemini, okanye nangexesha langempela—ngeenethiwekhi ezikhuselekileyo ezingenazingcingo.
Kodwa umlingo wabo usekwe kunxibelelwano oluhamba ngeendlela ezimbini: abathumeli idatha kwiinkonzo zombane kuphela, kodwa banokufumana ulwazi, njengemiqondiso yamaxabiso exesha lokusetyenziswa okanye izilumkiso malunga nokungafumaneki kwegridi. Olu hambo luhamba ngeendlela ezimbini luguqula isixhobo sokulinganisa esingasebenziyo sibe ngumthathi-nxaxheba okhutheleyo ekusebenziseni kakuhle amandla.
Zisebenza njani?
Eyona nto iphambili kuzo, ii-smart meter zisebenzisa ii-sensors ukulandelela ukuhamba kwamandla, ziguqula loo datha ibe lulwazi lwedijithali. Olu lwazi luhamba ngenethiwekhik—efana ne-Wi-Fi yasekhaya kodwa yenzelwe ukusetyenziswa—kwinkqubo ephakathi elawulwa ngumboneleli wakho wamandla.
Iimitha ezininzi ezikrelekrele ziza neesikrini zasekhaya okanye zivumelaniswe neeapps zefowuni, zikuvumela ukuba ubone ukuba unamandla angakanani na.'usebenzisa ngoku, zeziphi izixhobo ezidla amandla, kwaye unokuba netyala elingakanani ekupheleni kwenyanga. Akusekho mfuneko yokulinda ityala ukuze uqikelele ukuba imali yakho yamandla iya phi.
Kutheni kubalulekile?
Kubanini bezindlu, iingenelo ziyabonakala:
- Ulawulo lweendleko: Idatha yokusetyenziswa ngexesha langempela inceda ekuchongeni imikhwa yokuchitha imali (njengokuphuma kwi-AC imini yonke) kunye nokulungisa indlela yokuziphatha ukuze kuncitshiswe iindleko.
- Akusekho ziqikelelo: Ukufundwa ngokuchanekileyo nangokuzenzekelayo kuthetha ukuba uhlawulela kuphela oko ukusebenzisayo, uphephe ukulungiswa okungalindelekanga.
- Inkxaso yezinto ezivuselelekayo: Ukuba uneephaneli zelanga, ii-smart meter zinokulandela amandla owathumela kwigridi, ukuqinisekisa ukuba ufumana udumo ngawo.
Kwizixhobo zokusebenza kunye negridi, ii-smart meter nazo ziyatshintsha umdlalo. Zinciphisa isidingo sokuhlolwa kweemitha ngesandla, zifumanisa ukuphazamiseka ngokukhawuleza (ngamanye amaxesha ngaphambi kokuba uqaphele), kwaye zilinganisela imfuno yamandla ngokukhuthaza abasebenzisi ukuba batshintshele ekusebenziseni kwabo kwiiyure ezingezizo ezombane (xa umbane ungabizi kakhulu kwaye uluhlaza).
Iintsomi vs. inyani
Abagxeki ngamanye amaxesha baxhalabele ubumfihloy—emva kwayo yonke loo nto, idatha yamandla eneenkcukacha ingatyhila xa usekhaya okanye ukuba zeziphi izixhobo ozisebenzisayo. Kodwa izixhobo ezisetyenziswayo ziyayifihla le datha, kwaye imigaqo kumazwe amaninzi iyayithintela indlela ekwabelwana ngayo ngayo. Abanye bayoyika ukuqhekezwa, kodwa iinethiwekhi zemitha ezikrelekrele zisebenzisa iiprotokholi ezikhuselekileyo eziqinileyo kakhulu kuneenkqubo zemveli.
Ingongoma ephambili
Iimitha zamandla ezikrelekreleazipheleli nje ekuguquleni inkqubo endala ibe yedijithali—zimalunga nokubeka amandla (ngokoqobo) ezandleni zabasebenzisi. Ngokuguqula “ukusetyenziswa kwamandla” okungabonakaliyo kube yidatha ecacileyo, enokusebenziseka, zinika amandla amakhaya ukuba onge imali, anciphise inkunkuma, kwaye adlale indima ekwakheni igridi esebenza ngcono nezinzileyo. Ngamafutshane, azipheleli nje ekulinganiseni amandla—zitshintsha indlela esicinga ngayo.
