It’s no wonder that smart meter rollouts have skyrocketed with supporting business case findings such as ComEd customers saving potentially $2.8 billion on their electric bills over the 20-year life of the smart meters. Largely due to the aggressive U.S. effort to modernize its electric grid pros and cons (for example PG&E will now offer ‘opt out option’) for smart meters are still aggressively being debated; nonetheless the number of smart meters installed in the U.S. has ballooned over the past several years – with just over fifty utilities deploying the bulk of the investment. Zpryme analyzed data from the EIA in an effort to not only breakdown smart meter deployments by utility but also to zero in on the drivers that will bridge the U.S. energy divide.
Smart Grid The Role of Electricity Infrastructure in Reducing Greenhouse Gas ...Gruene-it.org
Most of the world’s electricity system was built when primary energy was relatively inexpensive. Grid reliability was mainly ensured by having excess capacity in the system, with unidirectional electricity flow to consumers from centrally dispatched power plants. Investments in the electric system were made to meet increasing demand—not to change fundamentally the way the system works.

IoT Based Smart Energy Meter using Raspberry Pi and Arduino Bilal Amjad
This project, design and implemented a low-cost IoT based energy monitoring system (smart energy meter) for real-time monitoring of all electrical parameters i.e. AC voltage, AC current, active power, total energy consumption, power factor, frequency, and tariff. The design is based on a low-cost PZEM-004T, using a non-invasive Current Transformer
(CT) sensors, Arduino and Raspberry pi. Electrical measurements are done by PZEM-004T and CT sensors through Arduino. Raspberry pi communicates with Arduino through serial communication to retrieve these sensor’s data and send it to the server via internet. As a result, the developed energy monitoring system can successfully record the voltage, current, active power, power factor, frequency, accumulative power consumption and tariff. Consumers will be able to
see their electricity usage and the tariff according to the energy usage in real-time through web and mobile application. In case of any fault e.g., short circuit or power supply cut off, the consumer will receive a text message on his mobile number. Moreover, consumers will be able to receive the tariff on a weekly or monthly basis.

In the country like India with over millions of kilometers of transmission lines and billions of consumers, task of
collecting information related to energy consumption of every consumer is a critical job. The meter reader has to
travel a long distance and take reading manually to collect the data. This reading is then feed in a central
database. Then the bill gets generated later with help of software. This project intends to reduce this tedious
work by automating the process of collecting data from consumer’s electricity meter. This would be done by
implementing Advanced Metering Infrastructure that unites all the various metering devices of a building in one
network and provides the metering data in real-time, locally and from remote. Here, AMI uses ZigBee to build
up high-rise building area network of connected metering devices.
Abstract This paper represents the smart meter parameters from various agencies and manufacturers, which are in the field of
manufacturing, standardization, and will be backbone support towards Smart Grid. These parameters are capable of
manufacturing and also quoted specifications in the manufacturers brochures and documents. Here we consider to show the
required specifications and standards going to be used for the smart meter for the smart grid environment. These meters shall
conform to minimum mentioned specifications and standards, which can be an emerging parameter used to the practical
scenario of smart meters for the smart grid applications. So this paper support the parameters to look out for smart meter
technical specification and test conditions for the meter that can be able to conform to the performance standard, hence conform
before the meter procurement.

Slide deck of the webinar presented by John Dirkman on Oct. 23, 2013.
The presence of highly variable renewables and distributed energy resources is rapidly increasing within distribution systems, resulting in the potential for problems like reverse power flow, impact on voltage profile, and more complex protection schemes.
During this webinar, John Dirkman, Senior Director of Smart Grid Strategy & Development at Schneider Electric, explored how an Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS), combined with an accurate weather forecasting system, can be used to resolve problems and increase benefits of both renewables and distributed energy resources.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Learn how renewables and distributed energy resources can impact an electric distribution system.
- Discover ways to manage and optimize renewables and distributed energy resources using ADMS.
- Integration of an accurate weather forecasting system with ADMS maximizes benefits from renewables.
- Distributed energy resources and demand response are components of microgrids, also managed by ADMS.
Electricity is a necessity in the modern world. In the traditional power system, electricity is being generated and transmitted through a one-way transmission and distribution system called the grid. The smart grid is an intelligent power grid designed to handle distributed resources using communication technology employing smart meters and control system. It promises more efficient, secure and climate friendly power system.

Automated Meter reading systems are a invaluable technological advancement that can lead to
a better standard of living, owing to the fact that metering has become a part and parcel of our
mundane lives.
It solves many issues of the traditional meter reading system like need for human resources, lack
of efficiency and accuracy in meter reading, delayed work, unavailability of customer during
metering visit by employee, etc. Moreover it is more economical and helps to save energy in a
more efficient and effective way. Furthermore it has a very notable advantage of having the
ability to predict the energy demands of the future, starting from every household to the entire
planet.
Automated meter reading systems have been implemented using many different technologies
like GSM, ZigBee, PLC, D-SCADA, WiMAX and Hybrid Technologies that comprises of a mixture
of the above.
This seminar paper describes the working models, strengths and weaknesses of each technology
by considering various factors like feasibility, cost, reliability, efficiency, and maintenance and
user experience. This paper not only explains the existing Energy Metering systems but also
provides an abstract view of developing the most optimal Automated Meter Reading system.
