The CLEVER Project
CLEVER (Closing the Loop for Everbody's Energy Resources) was a three year research project supported by the Technology Strategy Board to May 2011. It was a collaborative research and development project comprising 3C Research, BT, EDF Energy, PassivSystems and the University of Bristol.
CLEVER developed models of interactions between electricity (energy) producer and consumer in a flexible supply chain, enabled by Smart Metering
CLEVER delivered a simulation platform to provide quantitative assessment of different architectures, incorporating 9 different technology combinations, for distributed energy management algorithms
CLEVER investigated, through modelling, the information infrastructure required to support Energy Management business processes and applications, both inside and outside the home

CLEVER - The Next Steps - De-Risking Smart Metering Rollout
From June 2011 we are exploring means by which the CLEVER simulator platform may be offered to DECC and OFGEM as an industry-wide reference tool to help de-risk smart metering rollout.
