SMART METERS are used for accurate billing and meter readings and sending energy consumption directly to the energy supplier.
In early days, the M2M apps were mostly centered on the automotive and transport sectors and were commercial in nature. As the technology developed, applications in other sectors, such as health, agriculture and energy, also became prominent. However, their usage was more concentrated in the developed nations.
In time to come, M2M apps will dominate all sectors and include banking and real estate.
2. Smart meter is based on M2M communication
which enables communication between smart
device connected via Internet.
It is about enabling the flow of data between
machine to machine.
It uses Internet Protocol version 6 (IPV6) to
accommodate large address space .
Comprise of device (sensor or meter) to capture
event and convert into meaningful information .
3. Collection of data.
Transmission of selected data through
communication network.
Assessment of data.
Respond to available Information.
5. Electronic device that records consumption
of electric energy in intervals of hour or less.
It involves real time or near time sensors,
power notification & power quality
monitoring.
It uses Zigbee a high level communication
protocol to create personal area networks.
8. The smart meters collect data locally & transmit via
a Local Area Network (LAN) to a data collector.
This collector retrieves the data and is transmitted
via a Wired Area Network (WAN) to the utility central
collection point for processing & use by business
applications.
Since the communications path is two way, signals
or commands can be sent directly to the meters,
customer premise or distribution device.
11. Reading the meter and generating bill without
having a representative visit of property on a
regular basis.
Send electronic meter readings to energy
supplier automatically.
Faster Services
Accurate meter readings.
Accurate bills.
13. Thus a Smart Meter is a stethoscope into our home. It
intimates & give detailed information about appliance use,
residency & profiled behavior patterns.
