Reducing the power supply-demand gap and increasing reliability of power supply are the challenges of current energy management. Implementation of smart grid, smart meters and smart metering can be a possible solution for power demand reduction, efficient power supply management, and optimization of management resource usages. Purpose of the paper is to discuss and analyze Smart meters. Smart meters include sophisticated measurement and calculation hardware, software, calibration and communication capabilities, particularly explain its need and basic idea behind it. Further, different characteristics features are explained in this work we discuss smart meter and various elements of smart metering, current state of the technologies related to smart grid, smart meter, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). As a result, it is concluded that smart grid development will allow consumers to use energy effectively and thus help in security energy needs.
