Use of IoT in Net Metering Units for Modern Renewable Energy Systems: A Review

Abstract

Abstract– This review article aims to study the effective use of IoT in Net Metering Unit (NMU) for accurate measurement of residential energy consumption and available methods for measuring and controlling residential renewable energy usage. The system integrates photovoltaic (PV), diesel, and wind energy sources to enable a comprehensive and sustainable energy management solution. The NMU incorporates advanced IoT devices for real-time data acquisition, processing, and communication, allowing users to monitor and optimize their energy usage efficiently. The seamless integration of multiple energy sources enhances the reliability and resilience of the residential power supply. The methods studied in this article ensures affordability and accessibility for a wider range of users, promoting the adoption of renewable energy technologies at the grassroots level.
