[Case of a European power company]: The company has deployed smart meter boxes on a large scale within its jurisdiction. Through the electricity analysis function of the smart meter boxes, it was found that some commercial users have high electricity loads during peak hours, leading to increased pressure on the power system. So, the power company negotiated with these commercial users to provide them with peak and valley electricity price preferential policies, and through the remote control function of the smart meter box, automatically adjusted the electricity consumption time of some non critical equipment during peak hours. After implementing this measure, the electricity load during peak hours in the region decreased by 15%, the stability of the power system was significantly improved, and the electricity cost for commercial users was also reduced by about 10%.

[Case study of a domestic smart city project]: In the construction of a smart city, smart meter boxes play a key role as an important component of power infrastructure. By connecting with the urban energy management platform, the smart meter box uploads real-time electricity consumption data, and the platform uses this data for real-time monitoring and analysis of urban energy consumption, providing decision-making basis for urban energy planning and management. At the same time, the smart meter box is also connected to the smart home system, allowing residents to view their household electricity usage in real-time through a mobile app, remotely control household appliances, and achieve a more convenient and energy-efficient lifestyle. After the implementation of the project, the overall energy utilization efficiency of the city increased by 8%, and residents' satisfaction with smart electricity services reached over 90%.
