Abstract

The increasing demand for efficient energy utilization necessitates the development of intelligent monitoring systems capable of real-time data acquisition and analysis. Conventional energy meters lack the capability to provide continuous monitoring and remote accessibility, resulting in inefficient energy management. This paper presents the design and implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled smart energy meter capable of real-time measurement of electrical parameters such as voltage, current, and energy consumption along with cost estimation. The proposed system integrates voltage and current sensors with a microcontroller-based processing unit to compute instantaneous power and cumulative energy consumption. The system transmits data through IoT communication modules, enabling remote monitoring via mobile or cloud platforms. Additionally, GSM-based communication is incorporated for user interaction and alert notifications. Experimental validation demonstrates accurate measurement and real-time visualization of electrical parameters. The developed system provides a cost-effective, scalable, and efficient solution for modern smart grid and energy management applications.
