We are
pleased to announce that openZmeter has been noticed by the local mediafor the
first time. Five local digital newspapers published about us and our labour at
university (Universidad de Almería, Spain).
Our university
digital newspaper was the first one to publish an article about openZmeter and,
within a week, four more local media were talking about us. Statements like
“pioneer electric meter”, “enormous reach and importance”,
“revolutionary energy saving method” and “unique in the
world” can be found on the articles (links at the end of the page). This
has helped our project to gain importance and has boosted our confindece in
keeping researching about analizing and metering energy consumption.
The articles
mentioned are only aviable in Spanish. For everybody to understand, here is an
overview translated to English.
ADVANCED ELECTRIC METER – Summary
Seven
members of the Electric and Hydraulics Ingineering group and Graphic Expression
group from Universidad de Almería have published the development of
‘openZmeter’ in various scientific magazines. It’s a low cost advanced electric
meter that helps lowering society energy footprint.
Beyond
metering electricity consumption it can detect installation malfunctions. This
makes openZmeter unique in the world.
It is an
open software and hardware device so that any user can build it and modify it
within its own resources. No advance knowledge is needed. It’s the first time
an equipment like this is publicly available. Private enterprises, public
administrations and individual users have now access to this advanced
technology. This situation make it possible for the customers to build energy
saving strategies and desing more efficient enery consumprion policies.
From an environmental
point of view, openZmeter contributes to a proper use of energy. In addition,
free software and hardware policy make it easier for everyone to contribute to
this project. It helps to speed up openZmetre’s development.
