With the growing consumption of energy worldwide, better energy monitoring systems are required to track energy usage. Ever-rising electricity consumption coupled with wastage has become a concern for both utilities and consumers. Today’s world is one of data analytics, and details related to energy usage as well as wastage can help reduce energy wastage. The conventional electric meter does not provide detailed usage data for energy consumption. Hence, smart meters are required to overcome the shortcomings of conventional meters.
A smart electricity meter is an electronic device that registers the amount of energy consumed by the user in a predetermined time interval and transmits the same to both the consumer and the utility provider for further monitoring and billing. It provides a two-way mode of communication with the central power grid.
Smart electricity meters are equipped with real-time sensors to monitor load penetration on the generation and distribution systems. It helps utility companies to provide a valuation based on the specific time for consumption of electricity. This system also benefits the consumers, as they can track their consumption and billing process, which is otherwise the most contentious subject between them and utility companies.
Governments across different countries are investing fortunes in developing new residential as well as commercial infrastructures. They are also striving to make cities smarter for better administration. All these factors provide a large horizon for the market for smart electric meters to grow.
Countries such as the U.K., Germany, and the USA have already started to invest in smart energy meters. Developing countries are also trying to adopt smart energy meters for better energy consumption. Consequently, the smart electricity meter market is set to witness profound growth in the coming years.
