New design for a sustainable Enel Smart Meter
Enel is looking for design proposals for its new residential single-phase and poly-phase smart meters – the meters used to monitor the consumption levels of electricity from home. The objective is to develop a solution that presents innovative features in terms of design and materials, can be manufactured on a large scale, and incorporates the principles of circular economy and sustainability.
Designers, Engineer, Architect, design studios, startups, scaleups and SMEs, industries incorporated in any country are eligible to participate in this challenge.
Eligibility Criteria
Designers, Engineer, Architect, design studios, startups, scaleups and SMEs, industries incorporated in any country are eligible to participate in this challenge.
The development of the new smart meters should comply with the following requirements:
1) The technical, dimensional, safety and protection requirements set by the challenge and current legislation.
2) Easy manufacturability, due to large production volumes.
3) The need for circular economy-oriented design (both in terms of materials and components) that conveys a vision of efficiency, reliability, innovation and empathy.
4) The possibility of displaying short helpful messages or symbols, such as a logo, for the end user as well as for Distribution System Operators (DSO).
5) Built sturdiness so as to exclude tampering attempts.
6) The need for a type of modularity that prolongs the life cycles of components, as well as chosen materials that simplify end-of-life disposal and recovery for re-use in open or closed-loop cycles.
