Smart Prepaid Electric Meter System

The rapid expansion of electrical grid systems underscores the critical role of smart metering in achieving operational efficiency and reliability. This paper presents a Smart Prepaid Electric Meter System using IoT technology to improve the management of energy use. The system comprises real-time monitoring, prepaid billing, and automatic power disconnection to reduce human intervention while ensuring that data is processed accurately and on time. This one will be easy to recharge and monitor usage while protecting the users' data with safe payment methods and secure communication in the cloud. The system will send timely alerts and low balance notices, thus promoting responsible use and increasing the efficiency of energy usage. It is very affordable, easy to grow, and simple to use. Soon it will connect with renewable energy, help solve some of the problems facing the world today- delayed billing, energy theft, and taking care of the environment.[1][2][4]
