The considerable increment in power consumption and the quick enhancement of renewables such as wind power and solar power have presented enormous challenges in terms of energy security and the ecosystem, which in the meantime are encouraging the advancement of energy networks in a smarter direction. An advanced grid integrated with two-way power flow ability, inter-device communication, cybersecurity, physical safety, autonomous fault detection, self-healing, and incorporation of renewable energy resources to improve energy efficiency, reliability, quality, and network security can be a potential solution for smarter direction and such type of system is regarded as smart grid (SG). Smart meter is among the key instruments used in the intelligent network. The smart meter is an integrated energy meter that collects data from the load devices of end users and monitors customer energy usage and provides information to the utility provider and/or system controller. A variety of sensors and controls are used in a smart meter, assisted by a specific communication infrastructure. In this context, this paper describes in detail the architecture of the smart meter network, smart meter evolution, various functionalities, and its associated benefits. In addition, it also discusses some security problems and its solution with smart meters.
