Design of smart meter for smart grid application through true time — MATLAB

Smart environment and Pervasive Computing has deeply influenced the present power system. The present smart grid is capable of determining and handling the load anywhere, anytime due to the Wireless communication. The Smart Meter (SM) is enabled with communication module, potential transformer and current transformer to measure the amount of power being used. A Zigbee communication enabled SM is designed for a smart grid and its performance is evaluated in this paper. The data error rate is also evaluated.
