　　智能电网的智能家电设计

　　智能电网有望改变游戏规则，但新游戏的规则仍在编写中。迅速发展的智能电网基础设施有望降低成本，使各种创新的消费、工业和嵌入式设备成为可能。

　　智能电网有望成为整个电子产业的游戏变革者，包括各种类型的消费、工业和嵌入式设备。创新是由价值驱动的，要么是因为新产品降低了现有技术的成本，要么是因为它提供了用户愿意支付的新功能和新功能。尽管消费者是否愿意为新功能付费，但并不总是可预测的，降低运营成本的前景总是吸引人的。

　　考虑照明自动化行业。控制一个房间里的每一盏灯都有可能超过十年。高端系统提供的功能是每个消费者都喜欢的，只是价格不足以支付得起或愿意支付。X10技术提供照明自动化的一种有效方法，但它的可靠性令消费者兴奋。因此，家用照明自动化市场经历了有限的增长。

　　With the development of Smart Grid technology， the focus is first and foremost on enabling significant cost savings by intelligently monitoring and managing power consumption. For a few dollars more， appliances will be able to accurately measure power consumption and turn themselves on and off based on power availability and time based pricing tiers. As the Smart Grid is deployed， however， it will also bring with it an infrastructure that will readily support a wide range of automation capabilities.

　　The best candidates for intelligent power management are those appliances which consume a lot of power and are fairly discretionary as to when they are used. The primary consumer of power within the home and business is typically the HVAC （Heating Ventilation A/C） system， followed by appliances with motors and power supplies such as washers and dryers. Items like refrigerators and stoves may consume power but are not discretionary in their use， so the need for them to be smart is much less pertinent.
