Design and Implementation of an Internet of Things Based Smart Energy Metering

Internet of Things (IoT) can be used to furnish intelligent management of energy distribution and consumption in heterogeneous circumstances. In the recent years, by the growth of IoT and digital technologies, smart grid has been becoming smarter than before. The future power grid needs to be implemented in a distributed topology that can dynamically absorb different energy sources. IoT can be utilized for various applications of the smart grid including distributed power plant monitoring, power generation and consumption prediction, power consumption monitoring, energy storage monitoring, smart meter, electric vehicle charging, power demand side management and various area of energy production. In this paper, by using the IoT capabilities, we have designed and implemented a smart energy metering platform consisting of smart plugs, gateway and cloud server.
