Abstract:
The energy sector generates huge amounts of data that can be used by utility providers in energy conservation. As data is increasing drastically, the conventional energy meter is not sufficient to keep track of this data that incorporates demand and supply patterns of energy. The conventional energy meter manually retrieved information from a residential customer or an industrial customer and manually billed the consumption. This process was tedious, time consuming and costly for the utility providers. Subsequently, this led to the adoption of smart grid systems for energy management and efficient data processing. Another important facet of this research is the incorporation of residential sector, which is the highest consumer of energy and generates humongous amounts of data
