ABSTRACT
Energy monitoring is one of the important applications arising from research in Internet of Things (IoT). Smart meters allow
us to obtain periodic updates of energy consumption data that can be analyzed to provide important insights into energy usage.
However, design limitations in smart meters only allow the monitoring of the aggregated consumption data instead of real-time
consumption data. In order to increase the value of energy monitoring data, the system should be able to monitor and collect data
up to appliance level, and with larger sensing frequency. We develop a prototype device for sensing in smart homes using Wi-Fi
enabled communication. Wi-Fi was selected as the technology of choice due to high availability in homes, and issues about energy
consumption were ignored due to availability of a permanent power source. The prototype device, henceforth termed as ELIVE
device, was named after the goal to record live energy measurements. In order to achieve this, we employed ATMEGA328
microcontroller to interface with an ESP8266 Wi-Fi system on chip (SoC) module, an AC transformer, as well as current
transducers. The ESP8266 allows the microprocessor to connect to the Internet very easily through an established WiFi
connection, based on serial interfacing requirements. Arduino integrated development environment (IDE) was used to program
the microcontroller to obtain energy measurements using an analog to digital converter (ADC) to interface with the sensors.
KEYWORDS— Artificial intelligence, automated meter infrastructure, big data, cloud computing, data analytics, Internet of
Things (IoT), machine learning, privacy, smart grids (SGs), smart meters.

I. INTRODUCTION
Smart Energy has been an important conceptual
paradigm for future energy use. Because of limited non-
renewable energy resources available on Earth and also high
costs of acquiring renewable energies (REs), how to make
energy use more efficient and effective is critical for future
social and economic developments.
A lot of systems have been designed and developed to
reduce the energy consumption in the industrial environment
as well as in the private households. These traditional energy
management systems can be divided into two types. These are Fig. 1.Intrusive energy monitoring.

devices are required to be attached to each appliances.
Otherwise, only expensive appliances such as smart washing
machines or refrigerators equipped with network interfaces
can be utilized.
Upgrading each non-compatible device with an additional
network interface in a private household can be too expensive.
Smart meters allow us to obtain periodic updates of energy
consumption data. Design limitations in smart meters only
allow the monitoring of the aggregated consumption data
instead of real-time consumption

4. Smart Metering Load Data Compression Based
on Load Feature Identification • Use of Arduino as microcontroller & ESP8266 chip
In recent years, smart meters have been widely installed as WiFi connector help smart meter to report energy
in households across the world, which has led to problems usage to server
with big data. The huge amount of household load data
requires highly efficient data compression techniques to
reduce the great burden on data transmittance, storage,
processing, application, etc. This paper proposes the
generalized extreme value distribution characteristic for
household load data and then utilizes it to identify load
features including load states and load events. Finally, a
highly efficient lossy data compression format is designed to
store key information of load features. The proposed feature-
based load data compression method can support highly
efficient load data compression with little reconstruction error
and simultaneously provide load feature information directly
for application. A case study based on the Irish Smart
