  1. Barleymow AMR • Getting [trying to get] real time energy data for part of a council estate • AMR = Automatic Meter Reading • Meter phones home every ½ hour • ½ hour energy is the 'industrial' grain size • 4 boilers about ½ megawatt approx • 105 dwellings

  2. Barleymow AMR: Getting Data • Had to Freedom of Information to get readings for initial experiment • Ongoing struggle about access to real-time data stream [but they're 'our' readings aren't they?] • Interesting questions about open soft real-time data, an important category • Legal questions and practical infrastructural questions [for me dump all the data and let everyone FTP, for example

  3. Barleymow AMR: Data • Here's the data, meter number, time and qty MP Ref No Date Time Reading Consumption kWh 15114709 26/10/2010 06:30:00 35166070 500.000cuft 160.34 15114709 26/10/2010 07:00:00 35166570 500.000cuft 160.34 15114709 26/10/2010 07:30:00 35167060 490.000cuft 157.133 15114709 26/10/2010 08:00:00 35167560 500.000cuft 160.34 15114709 26/10/2010 08:30:00 35168070 510.000cuft 163.547 15114709 26/10/2010 09:00:00 35168610 540.000cuft 173.167 15114709 26/10/2010 09:30:00 35169130 520.000cuft 166.753 15114709 26/10/2010 10:00:00 35169670 540.000cuft 173.167 15114709 26/10/2010 10:30:00 35170210 540.000cuft 173.167 15114709 26/10/2010 11:00:00 35170740 530.000cuft 169.96

  4. Barleymow AMR: Tools • Tools? • The inevitable Perl script • Flot, a javascript graphing library: http://code.google.com/p/flot/ • That's it • Result overleaf

  6. Barleymow AMR: Why oh why? • It's an important leverage point in the Dana Meadows sense: http://architectures.danlockton.co.uk/2008/07/21/donella-meadows-leverage-points/ • Notable it's point 6: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_leverage_points • My informal research suggests enormous and avoidable waste in the supply of communal energy • Part of a larger project 'Big Red Meter' project • Thank you!
