A Smart energy Meter Architecture in Indian context

This paper introduces a low cost Smart Meter Architecture to suit vast and diverse Indian market. An extensive review on Smart Meters research and market has been presented. In addition, we propose a low cost add-on device for the existing electromechanical energy meters to update the customers about the billing and usage. A discussion on available and feasible communication technologies is included and the most relevant solution with cost analysis is proposed.
