Default Smart meters to be compulsary?

Domestic meters have historically been quite good at measuring only the
instantaneous real power transfer, and ignoring reactive currents. How
good they are with with modern loads with poor power factors caused by
high harmonic content (like many small SMPSUs) rather than a more
traditional phase shift is perhaps a more interesting question.


Ask a Dutch university?
