DeploymentMany deployment projects in Europe and USA, while some have been delayed.Far from smart electricity meters, and few projects have been deployed, mainly remote reading meters.
Functions and applicationsMost smart electricity meters are equipped with basic functions, including regular and precise metering, data recording and alarming, and two-way communication.No technical barriers to equip smart heat and gas meters with the functions of regular and precise metering, data recording and alarming, and two-way communication.
Costs and benefitsThe application of smart electricity meters can generate a significant amount of benefits, mainly for suppliers. The cost of smart meters is also very large and the distribution of the cost may be a problem.The general costs and benefits for smart heat and gas meters are quite similar to those for smart electricity meters, although there so far have not been many large-scale deployment projects.Compared with benefits, costs have a larger impact on decision making.

Smart meters are an electronic device to measure energy consumption accurately, at precise time intervals. In India, Britishers introduced electricity firstly in Calcutta in 1879. After the inception of electric power, it took a very long time to become an Act named “The Electricity Act” framed in 1910. Initially, the cost of electricity consumption measured by fixed charges, after that, a measuring device as “Electric Meter” came into the market. This meter has some limitation such as precision value of meter reading, missing of date and time and kilowatt per hour etc. This was the measure concern for both the electric consumer and provider to know the exact value of the electric consumption with other essential information. To overcome these issues, several technologies have been developed and a new concept of measuring device was introduced “smart meter” introduced for an accurate result. In this paper, we discuss things that can overcome the limitations of the existing smart devices.
