Popis: Electricity is one of the essential needs of human. It's commonly used for domestic, industrial, and agricultural purposes in day-to-day life. Most folks know the role of the energy meter within the electricity grid. It’s a fundamental component of the distribution grid. The energy meter helps the utility (electricity distribution company) to account for the utilization of electricity by the buyer on a KW per hour basis. To know this we want to seek out the drawbacks of the present energy meter, and therefore the biggest problem in electricity metering. The most important problem in electricity distribution is collecting meter reading data. Straight away meter reading is collected manually, which provides scope for corruption and human error in reading. It is the wastage of manpower and utility of resources. Our existing electricity meter isn't tamper-proof. There is to several temper cases are detected. In the existing meter, there is no under voltage and over voltage protection, as well as there is no over power use alert system. Because of these problems, the utility is unable to gather a fine for max demand cross. Power theft is the biggest problem in recent days, which causes a lot of loss to electricity boards. To overcome these drawbacks, the IoT-based Smart Energy Meter (SEM) is developed.
