Review of IEC/EN Standards for Data Exchange between Smart Meters and Devices

With energy monitoring and control playing an increasingly important role in home energy management, Smart Meters are the key technology for the smart house deployment. Smart Meters collect data from devices to databases for analysis and billing purposes, do data logging, power quality and real time monitoring, offering the knowledge of energy consumption in order to control the flow of energy inside a house. However, the lack of common standard architectures for telecommunications to ensure interoperability between equipment and systems from different manufacturers makes a common Smart Meter adaptation more difficult. Working toward a common standard this paper presents the IEC/EN standards for data exchange between Smart Meters and devices.
