Abstract

The growth of renewable energy sources necessitates the use of accurate and fast smart meter solutions. This article presents a low-cost internet of things (IoT) based smart meter adapted to the Moroccan electricity grid, supporting bidirectional energy measurement, DLMS/COSEM-based communication and control relays for automated energy flow management. The experimental validation shows a maximum measurement error of less than ±0.5%, satisfying the IEC-oriented accuracy requirements. The measured end-to-end latency is approximately 700 ms, including data acquisition (≈450 ms), signal processing (≈60 ms), data serialization (≈75 ms), network transmission (≈90 ms), and server-side processing (≈25 ms). These results demonstrate that the proposed system allows an almost real-time monitoring and control of imported and exported energy, which makes it suitable for the integration of residential renewable energies and the application of smart grids.
