Abstract :
A general overview is presented of the use of microprocessors and computers in the collection of data for energy-usage test programs for electric utility research in demand-side management. These programs consist primarily of two types. Some are designed to provide statistically meaningful information on the use of real, commercially available equipment by real customers; others are designed to study equipment in various phases of development in order to analyze its potential application to energy management. The remote-access data recorders, measurement transducers, and central computers are discussed.<>
