Abstract

This paper presents the design and development of an intelligent energy meter integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology for real-time monitoring and power theft detection. Traditional metering systems are unable to identify unauthorized consumption effectively, resulting in major revenue losses. The proposed system utilizes voltage and current sensors interfaced with a microcontroller to continuously monitor energy usage. The collected data is transmitted to a cloud platform for analysis. Any mismatch or abnormal pattern in consumption is treated as potential theft and triggers an alert. This system ensures transparency, improves efficiency, and reduces manual intervention. The solution is cost-effective, scalable, and suitable for modern smart grid applications.
