Development of Smart Energy Meter Based on IoT

Technology advancements have increased our dependency on electrical and technological equipment, emphasising how crucial power is to leading a pleasant existence. However, the widespread problem of power theft poses a serious risk to grid infrastructure, particularly in nations like India. The use of Smart Energy Metres (SEMs) is suggested as a defence against this. SEMs employ wireless communication to identify and stop power theft by keeping an eye on trends of energy usage. The system described in this article provides a versatile solution for both postpaid and prepaid billing by utilising SEMs for power theft detection and automatic invoicing. By substituting automated solutions for manual metres, we improve energy management, provide ongoing oversight, and help to spot metre manipulation and electricity theft.
