ABSTRACT
This paper is aimed to review significant development in the design and analysis of smart meter based on msp430 microcontroller. A smart meter is a digital energy meter that measures the consumption of electrical energy and provide other additional information as compare to the conventional energy meter. Smart meters are considered as a key component of the smart grid. Smart metering allow continues reading and recording of many electrical parameters like voltage, current, frequency, active power (kWh), apparent power (kVAh). Smart meters will enable two-way and real time communication between the consumer and utility. Considering the increase of electricity demand in India, Smart meter can decrease the power losses and increase the power quality. This paper introduce a low cost wireless smart meter based on 16 bit MSP430 microcontroller. The meter design and development of hardware and software are introduced in details
