IoT Cloud-Based Smart Metering System for Dynamic Energy Consumption Analysis

Worldwide power demand and energy prices are rising because of the spread of power-hungry household appliances and industrial units. The public utilities are facing difficulties in providing a consistent energy supply. To overcome these hurdles, there is a pressing need for a quick shift towards traditional power grids from intelligent smart grid (SG) systems. Smart meters (SMs), being the building blocks of SGs, have a central role to play in this shift. Based on data storage using SQL Server and bidirectional communication with the aggregate load, this system equips consumers with an elaborate energy consumption monitoring system. Consumers are able to view their usage hourly, daily, and monthly, comprehend their spending, and get notified for power failures and voltage overloading. In order to support these capabilities, an intelligent system and a web application are integrated into the smart meter framework. With this robust design and its superior features, it is expected that the deployment of smart grids will be highly boosted.
