Abstract
A hardware and software system for variable spot pricing (VSP) that is in service in 550 homes is discussed. Its basic functions and implementation strategies are examined. The system manager, a wide-area communication network for timely and reliable communications between the system manager and the customer equipment, and customer premises equipment are described. Future directions for this technology are identified, including both technical advances required and additional applications for such a system.<>
