Abstract: This paper explores the transformative role of smart metering and demand side management (DSM) in modern power systems. Smart meters offer precise, real-time data that enables consumers and utilities to optimize energy use, reduce wastage, and improve grid stability. DSM complements this by encouraging load shifting, peak shaving, and energy conservation, ultimately reducing operational costs and enhancing sustainability. This paper covers the technology, implementation strategies, benefits, and challenges of smart metering and DSM, offering insights for policy-makers, utilities, and researchers.
Keywords: Smart Metering, Demand Side Management, Energy Efficiency, Load Shifting, Peak Shaving, Grid Stability
