In this book, we present the design and simulations of a wireless meter reading system for energy-efficient billing in agricultural households. Modern technologies like the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence play a vital role in the growth, expansion, and development of all sectors in agrarian economies like India. To minimise energy consumption, we have proposed a smart energy meter based on the Internet of Things, which will continuously monitor the reading and control the electric load as per the requirements of a typical agricultural setup. The proposed system is designed to...

The work presented in this book is to find a technically feasible and economically viable hybrid energy system suitable for off-grid electrification of remote areas. The cost configurations of different micro-power systems to fulfil the projected energy demand are made. The three case studies covered multiple key aspects of hybrid renewable energy systems. The work is focused mainly on the technical, economic, financial, and environmental impacts of the hybrid systems. The design parameters of the system, like type of load, source of energy, availability of meteorology data, storage, etc.,...
