Global energy context has become more and more complex in the last decades; the raising prices of fuels together with economic crisis, new international environmental and energy policies that are forcing companies. Nowadays, as we approach the problem of global warming and climate changes, smart metering technology has an effective use and is crucial for reaching the 2020 energy efficiency and renewable energy targets as a future for smart grids. The environmental targets are modifying the shape of the electricity sectors in the next century. The smart technologies and demand side management are the key features of the future of the electricity sectors. The target challenges are coupling the innovative smart metering services with the smart meters technologies, and the consumers' behaviour should interact with new technologies and polices. The book looks for the future of the electricity demand and the challenges posed by climate changes by using the smart meters technologies and smart meters services. The book is written by leaders from academia and industry experts who are handling the smart meters technologies, infrastructure, protocols, economics, policies and regulations. It provides a promising aspect of the future of the electricity demand. This book is intended for academics and engineers who are working in universities, research institutes, utilities and industry sectors wishing to enhance their idea and get new information about the smart meters.

Dans l’histoire de l’électrification qui est un sujet encore neuf, le groupe Durand occupe une place de choix. Second grand groupe de l’électricité avant la nationalisation, il fait figure, à bien des égards, d’archétype du capitalisme français, avec ses fusions, ses restructurations, ses prises de participation. Pierre-Marie Durand, avoué de formation, est devenu en une génération le dirigeant d’un groupe puissant, qui repose sur un actionnariat essentiellement familial, un solide réseau d’administrateurs et une gestion risquée. Renonçant à l’autofinancement, il s’expose en effet sérieusement pour assurer la croissance externe de son groupe, d’où une gestion fondée sur une trésorerie étroite et un fort endettement, totalement hors norme, qui suscita alors l’hostilité des milieux financiers. Constituant des monopoles régionaux, par le biais d’une politique de concen­tration et de rationalisation des filiales, Pierre-Marie Durand définit d’abord la stratégie financière, les choix technologiques n’intervenant qu’en second lieu. Ainsi, s’explique le passage d’une logique de distribution à l’option de la production- distribution-interconnexion. Dans le cadre européen du démantèlement des monopoles publics, l’histoire d’« un groupe, structure dominante de l’économie actuelle, illustre le fonctionnement de l’industrie électrique française dans le cadre privé et concurrentiel. Enfin, elle permet de mieux connaître l’origine d’EDF, car en 1946, le groupe Durand a été un apport essentiel de la nouvelle compagnie ».
