Masdar, GE Consumer in smart home JV
- United Arab Emirates: Tuesday, October 06 - 2009 at 10:14
Masdar City and GE Consumer & Industrial have announced the launch of a pilot program that will investigate the reduction of peak power demand through the use of smart home appliances. The pilot residences in the Masdar Institute building will be equipped with a Home Energy Manager (HEM) and European-style and size demand response-enabled refrigerators, cooktops and combination clothes washers/dryers that work on 220volt/50HZ platforms. During the pilot, the HEM and appliances will receive signals from the grid, which will simulate peak energy usage periods. In response, the HEM and smart appliances will customize the appliances' responses to save energy, reducing energy demand on the grid.
