Smart grid provides the digital technology that allows for two-way communication between the utility and the customers. The smart grid consists of controls, computers, automation, and new technologies and equipment working together. The smart grid will move the energy industry into a new era of reliability, availability, and efficiency with economic and environmental health. A smart meter plays a major role in the smart grid and it is an electronic device that measures and records the energy consumption. It enables two-way communication between the meter and the supplier through advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). The mode of communication is enabled by either wireless or wired. The wireless communication includes Wi-Fi, wireless mesh networks, Zig Bee, cellular communications, and low power range Wi-Fi. This chapter deliberates about the evolution of electricity metering, major components of smart meter, communication infrastructure and protocols for smart metering, demand-side integration, recent developments, issues faced and solutions, merits and demerits.

As an important part of Smart Grid, smart metering attracts more and more attention all over the world. It is the way for energy consumer to sense the benefit of smart grid directly. Smart meter is an advanced energy meter that measures consumption of electrical energy providing additional information compared to a conventional energy meter. This paper discusses various applications and technologies that can be integrated with a smart meter. Smart meters can be used not only from the supply side monitoring but also for the demand side management as well. It plays an important role to monitor the performance and the energy usage of the grid loadings and power quality. In addition, This paper gives a comprehensive view on the benefit of smart metering in power network such as energy efficiency improvement.

The smart grid revolution has only been possible, thanks to the development and proliferation of smart meters. The increasingly growing computing capabilities for Internet of Things devices have made it possible for data to be processed directly from the devices where it is produced; this has been called edge computing. Edge computing is allowing the smart grid to become increasingly intelligent to solve problems that make electricity consumption more efficient and environmentally friendly. This work presents the implementation of a smart metering system that allows data analytics using a multiprocessing architecture directly on the smart meter. The results show that the development of smart meters with data analytics capabilities at the edge is a reality today, and the use of multiprocessing permits the improvement of data processing.

Die Sagemcom Dr. Neuhaus GmbH, Spezialist für Smart Metering, Smart Grid und M2M-Kommunikation, wartet wie sieben weitere Hersteller von Smart Meter Gateways auf die Zertifizierung ihrer Geräte durch das BSI. Die Hamburger tun das mit relativer Gelassenheit, weil sie sich für den Startschuss zum Rollout intelligenter Messgeräte gut gewappnet fühlen. Worin der Optimismus im Detail wurzelt, erläuterte Dr. Holger Graetz, Director Sales & Marketing, gegenüber der BWK-Redaktion.

Now a day, every one using mobile devices for communicating with others. The development of new technologies, like Internet of Things (IoT) needs coverage, connectivity, scalability and QoS. In ubiquity networks, the major issues are coverage, connectivity, scalability and QoS. To solve these limitations, integrating wireless networks with ad hoc networks. This paper provides detail survey on how ad hoc networks are integrated with Cellular Network, Wireless Mesh Networks and Wireless Sensor Networks. This integration may resolve the problems of coverage, connectivity, scalability and QoS.
