A Real-Time Monitoring System for Smart Energy Meters, Designed With IoT Integration to Ensure Billing Automation
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized various domains, including energy management, by enabling smart monitoring and automation. This paper presents an IoT-based energy metering and billing system designed to improve efficiency, accuracy, and real-time monitoring of power consumption. Traditional metering and billing methods are prone to human errors, delays, and inefficiencies. Our proposed system integrates smart meters with IoT connectivity to provide real-time energy usage data, automated billing, and remote control capabilities. The methodology involves deploying smart meters with embedded sensors and wireless communication modules to transmit data to a cloud-based platform. Users can access their energy consumption data through a mobile application, ensuring transparency and timely bill payments. This approach enhances energy management for consumers and utility providers while reducing operational costs. The paper also discusses the hardware components, real-time challenges such as network security, data accuracy, and system reliability, and provides a conclusive evaluation of the system’s effectiveness.
