The present work details the design and simulation of a state-of-the-art programmable electric energy meter. The system under consideration incorporates a backup power module aimed at ensuring operational continuity in the event of a power outage, as well as a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) communication interface allowing for remote transmission of consumption-related data. The study focuses on the selection of hardware components, software modeling, as well as the validation method thru simulation. The empirical results attest to the reliability of the meter under real operating conditions, highlighting the efficiency of the backup power system and the relevance of integrating GSM technology for optimized energy management.
