Abstract
Electricity plays a vital role in day to day life. Rapid growth in global energy consumption has increased the need for efficient and sustainable energy management solutions. In response to this challenge, this project paper presents a novel approach to energy monitoring and management through the development of "Smart Energy Meters" using IOT. The main goal of this project is to create and implement an advanced energy meter that can monitor energy use in real-time and offer features like load control, automated billing, and remote monitoring. To accomplish these, the meter combines both software and hardware components. Microcontrollers, communication interfaces, and sensor modules make up the hardware component. These sensors are in charge of precisely monitoring voltage, current, and electricity usage in real time. Microcontrollers manage communication with the central system and other devices in addition to processing the gathered data. The communication interface makes it easier to transport data to a local server or the cloud. It is typically based on wireless technologies like Wi-Fi. Additionally, smart energy meters can help utility companies optimize energy delivery by providing accurate information on energy demand, identifying unusual consumption patterns, and enabling demand-response strategies. It has the potential to reduce energy losses, lower operational costs and reduce the environmental impact of energy production and distribution. To sum up, this project paper introduces a Smart Energy Meter using IoT technology as a significant step towards creating an efficient and sustainable energy ecosystem. The system is a useful tool for improving energy efficiency and lowering energy waste since it can offer real-time data, raise customer awareness, and allow remote control of electrical devices. We can get closer to a more intelligent and environmentally friendly energy future by incorporating IoT into energy management.
