Sagot :
Answer:
Smart Meters measure both the amount of electrical energy used and the time at which it is being used because they are used to monitor the energy consumption at real time, such that the time of use of energy can be monitored, thereby enabling several utility functions for load sharing and maintenance, including;
i) Time of use tariffs, where energy is billed based on peak and off peak periods, which increases profits to the producer, reduces cost for some consumers, encourages more even hourly and daily usage of electricity, lower maintenance cost, lower capital expenditure for peak stations, and reduces carbon emission
ii) Guarantees more accurate energy consumption measurement and billing
iii) Accurate crew dispatch to fault locations
iv) Prevent fraud due to tampering with meter
v) Increase customer confidence in billing
