| Abstract |
The establishment of a smart grid is one of countermeasures against global warming, and it is attracting attention as an alternative for energy efficiency. Accordingly, smart meter which is a key element in the construction of a smart grid is developing. The smart meter automatically measures the energy data used in real time and provides it to the energy suppliers and users. Additionally, It helps them to use energy efficiently. Smart meter communication between energy suppliers and users can be done in both directions by adopting AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) method. However, there is no development related to the communication between smart meter devices. In this paper, the status of smart meter technology in domestic and foreign countries is investigated and the future directions of smart meter are suggested for grids. |
