Electricity is a basic need in today’s world, the electric smart meter is the advancement brought in to maintain data regarding usage and avoiding any unaccounted consumption. Smart meter is equipped with functionalities to monitor electricity consumption by consumers and report it directly to the electricity company on monthly or daily basis depending on requirement.

The preciseness in terms of reading and eliminating manual involvement to note readings and produce electricity bills is the major advantage of smart electric meter. The other major differences between the traditional meter and smart meter is the representation of the units consumed.

The electricity consumption noted by smart meter is sent to consumer and also the electrical company which maintains transparency in the process of bill generation. The increasing adoption of renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind is also driving the adoption of smart meter with new grids being set up.

Smart meter notify the consumer about the major electricity consuming equipment and also increase the awareness to avoid wastage of energy. These meter are mainly available in two types which include advanced metering infrastructure and auto meter reading. In smart meter, electricity consumption is shown on a digital meter in which noting a reading is easy as compared to the traditional meter.
