Smart Cooking

摘要

PUTTING SMART meters in homes is a first step toward the smart grid, but people are unlikely to check the meter every time they want to heat up a pizza. Appliances like this electric stove, however, communicate wirelessly with the smart meter and adjust their behavior automatically: for example, during peak consumption hours it might default to its smaller, less-energy-demanding upper oven. Owners have the option of overriding these electricity-saving choices.
