Open Source Metering Will Transform How We Modernize the Grid
summary
Defines an open reference architecture that splits the meter into a low-cost sensor and a replaceable gateway running embedded Linux, moving computation and privacy controls to the edge so edge processing holds data locally and enforces dynamic capacity limits; targets the Dutch fleet of more than nine million meters due for replacement by 2035; promises to break vendor lock‑in via open source modules, lower TCO despite higher gateway cost, and cut field‑swap labor (single visit ≈ €100, saving about €75 per avoided exchange).
