Advanced Energy Metering System Using IOT

In recent times, there has been a swift advancement in the creation of smart cities. A smart city is a metropolitan area that makes use of cutting-edge technology for effective resource management and monitoring. The goal is to maximize energy and cost savings while simultaneously enhancing the quality of life for its citizens. With an emphasis on energy-related monitoring, a smart energy meter is the fundamental element that forms the basis for all data gathering, analysis, and automation. This paper describes how to turn a regular energy meter into a smart energy meter by adding an Arduino and a GSM module. With the help of the Internet of Things, this smart energy meter is further improved using IoT. An embedded controller (Arduino) and a GSM modem will be integrated by the smart energy meter system to transfer data over a GSM mobile network, such as generated invoices, spent energy in kWh, etc. IoT can be used to enable energy providers and power companies to monitor and control their customers' services without the need for human labour by providing them with the user -generated data. By connecting the smart meter to the Internet of Things, the user can access the data using a password and ID that has been issued from any location in the globe. Major energy companies will benefit from our project's user-friendliness, reduced labour costs, and decreased error and loss rates.
