Optimizing electrical supply: Several ITU Recommendations from Recommendation ITU-T Y.4000 to
Y.4999: ‘Internet of things and smart cities and communities’ contain guidance on IoT applications
and ubiquitous sensor networking, including, for example, standards such as Recommendation ITU-T
Y.4409/Y.2070: ‘Requirements and architecture of the home energy management system and home
network services’.
The rising popularity of electric (EV) and plug-in electric vehicles (PHEV) (see also the section on
‘Transport’), combined with increasing battery capacity and charging power, could mean that EV
charging needs may become more significant in the distribution grid. This could encourage greater
21
demand response penetration over the next decade.
