Analysis of electronic electricity meters and proposal for an intelligent prepaid system for the ende

Abstract

TThe Internet of Things (IoT) involves connecting physical objects to the internet, enabling them to operate in an automated and intelligent manner. Among its various applications, its use in smart homes stands out, with the aim of improving quality of life. This paper examines the challenges of implementing IoT in the context of smart grids with prepaid billing. These networks offer benefits compared to traditional systems, such as greater efficiency in managing and measuring energy consumption. The study resulted in the development of a prototype prepaid energy meter with wireless communication, capable of integrating cell phone recharges directly into the home's energy system. The model displays consumption information in real time and allows distributors to remotely monitor the system, helping to detect fraud and improve operational efficiency.
