IoT Based Smart Energy Meter System Using Machine Learning

Abstract

India is the world’s third largest producer and third largest consumer of electricity [1]. The per person energy consumption in India in 2019 is 1181 kWh. With increasing demand and value for energy, it has become tedious to keep track of consumption of energy units. Smart Meters can override these difficulties by providing a more appropriate solution which includes accurate billing, better information on energy consumption thus leading to better utilization. These Smart energy meters are beneficial to both the consumer and the supplier. They provide a more efficient solution in determining tariffs for the latter. Internet of Things is an emerging technology and IoT based devices have revolutionized the field of electronics and IT. The proposed project is an Iot Based Smart Energy meter system developed to efficiently manage the energy consumption in households by avoiding wastage, to provide accurate information to small scale users and to avoid manual meter reading and automate bill data entry process.
