1. IoT-Enabled Smart Meters

Smart meters play a crucial role in Edma’s real-time energy tracking infrastructure. These devices are deployed at renewable energy production sites to continuously measure, record, and transmit energy data. By integrating IoT-enabled smart meters, Edma ensures accurate, tamper-proof, and real-time monitoring of energy generation.

Key Functions of Smart Meters

1. Energy Generation Data Collection

• Measures kWh output per energy source.

• Tracks energy production from solar, wind, hydro, and other renewables.

• Ensures accurate and real-time energy reporting.

2. Timestamped Production Records

• Logs precise timestamps for energy generation events.

• Enables historical tracking of energy output for analytics and audits.

• Synchronizes with blockchain records for immutable data storage.

3. Energy Source Identification

• Differentiates between various energy sources (e.g., solar panels vs. wind turbines).

• Validates green energy origins for sustainability tracking.

• Supports automated certification issuance for ESG compliance.

4. Grid Injection Monitoring

• Tracks how much energy is injected into the grid.

• Monitors distributed energy flow from decentralized sources.

• Ensures accurate settlement of tokenized energy assets (ETT & CLE).

How Smart Meters Work in Edma

1. Real-time data capture at energy production points.

2. Secure transmission using encrypted communication protocols (TLS/SSL, MQTT).

3. Data validation and storage on blockchain for transparency and fraud prevention.

4. Automated reporting for regulatory compliance and market transactions.

By utilizing IoT-enabled smart meters, Edma enhances energy tracking accuracy, security, and efficiency, ensuring a fully verifiable and transparent renewable energy ecosystem.
