Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to provide an assessment of the state-of-art of the technologies that can be used for monitoring demand side management programs. This paper examines the following techniques that can be used for end use monitoring: field test equipment, general purpose data loggers; run-time data loggers; utility-oriented data loggers; energy management systems; smart meters; nonintrusive load monitoring; and building automation. Additionally, the paper points out research and development activities whose implementation can contribute to the more accurate and cost-effective evaluation of the performance of end use technologies
