Report Description

Smart meter forms an integral part of smart grids, and help in monitoring the electricity supply even from distance by using wireless technologies. By using smart meters, power thefts and power losses can easily be monitored and controlled. Smart meters reduce meter reading costs and errors, provide detailed insights of energy usage, support flexible tariffs and promotes intelligent load management. Smart meters offers two way communication, wherein, users have an option to transfer back the power to smart grids, in case of energy produced at their end, for instance, through solar power panels, etc., Additionally, smart meters enable suppliers to identify real-time energy consumption pattern for all the users, enabling suppliers in getting a clear picture of demand and supply. Consequently, power producing companies have opportunity to plan accordingly for upcoming power projects, considering the increasing power demand rate.
