  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">The Smart Meter (SM) is an essential tool for successful balancing the demand-offer energy  curve. It allows the linking of the consumption and production measurements with the time  information and the customer’s identity, enabling the substitution of flat-price billing with  smarter solutions, such as Time-of-Use or Real-Time Pricing. In addition to sending data to  the energy operators for billing and monitoring purposes, Smart Meters must be able to send  the same data to customer devices in near-real-time conditions, enabling new services such  as instant energy awareness and home automation. In this article, we review the ongoing  situation in Europe regarding real-time services for the final customers. Then, we review the  architectural and technological options that have been considered for the roll-out phase of the  Italian second generation of Smart Meters. Finally, we identify a collection of use cases, along  with their functional and performance requirements, and discuss what architectures and  communications technologies can meet these requirements.</dc:description>
