Abstract
The current, widespread introduction of smart electricity meters is resulting in large datasets’ becoming available, but there is as yet little in the way of advanced data analytics and visualization tools, or recommendation software for changes in contracts or user behaviour, which use this data. In this paper we present an integrated tool which combines the use of abstract argumentation theory with linear optimization algorithms, to achieve some of these ends.
