Abstract: The rapid growth in electricity demand has increased the need for efficient energy monitoring and management systems. A Smart Energy Meter is an advanced digital device designed to measure electrical energy consumption accurately and transmit the data automatically to utility providers and consumers. The proposed system utilizes a microcontroller-based architecture integrated with voltage and current sensors to monitor real-time power usage. Communication technologies such as Wi-Fi or GSM enable remote data transmission, eliminating the need for manual meter reading. This system enhances billing accuracy, supports real- time monitoring, and provides consumers with detailed insights into their energy consumption patterns. Additionally, smart energy meters help in detecting abnormal usage and power theft, thereby improving grid reliability and operational efficiency. The implementation of smart energy metering plays a crucial role in the development of smart grids, energy conservation, and sustainable power management systems.
