Innovative Approaches to GSM-based Smart Energy Meter Design

Abstract

This article explores innovative approaches to the design and development of GSM-based smart energy meters, which play a crucial role in the modern energy management landscape. With the increasing demand for efficient, reliable, and real-time monitoring of energy consumption, smart meters equipped with GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) technology offer significant advantages over traditional meters. The paper discusses the integration of GSM technology into energy meters to enable remote data collection, real-time monitoring, and seamless communication between consumers and utility providers. It also highlights the benefits of GSM-based smart meters, such as cost reduction, enhanced accuracy, and the ability to support advanced billing and demand-side management systems. Various design methodologies, hardware components, and software solutions are reviewed, alongside potential challenges and future trends in the development of these systems.
