In the era of smart grids, smart metering entails not only the measurement of electricity, gas, water or heat consumption, but also communications from meter to data concentrator, or cloud. Real-time reporting of energy consumption directly to consumers improves consumer awareness, leading to waste reduction and lower expenses.  The use of smart meters to measure and report energy consumption enables utilities and energy distributors to manage their supply and demand in real time. The main benefits of smart metering systems are lower costs, higher reliability, reduced tampering and less carbon emissions.  Read more
