Smart Energy System Deployment in Developing Nations: Addressing Infrastructure Challenges

Abstract

This paper examines the practical challenges of deploying a smart energy monitoring system in a residential setting within a developing nation. It details a comprehensive sensor network implementation in India, capturing electrical, water, and environmental data. The study highlights obstacles such as unreliable power grids and intermittent internet connectivity, and proposes a resilient data acquisition architecture to ensure robust data collection. The findings offer insights for researchers and practitioners seeking to implement similar systems in resource-constrained environments.
