“…There is a considerable margin in the improvement of quality and reliability of supply because of utility finances, operational performance, obsolete power system infrastructure, and energy sector regulations [52]. Even the authentic data is difficult to be gathered as the system average interruption frequency index (SAIFI) of IESCO is 0.05 which means that less than one interruption is experienced in 2018-19 due to fault in IESCO's system [53].…”

Potential implementation of smart grid technologies has been given wide attention for modernization of electrical power systems. Existing power grid infrastructure of Pakistan is ill-suited to accommodate increased renewable energy sources and poses interoperability issues for seamless transition towards decentralization and digitalization of the power grid. Modernization of power grid through realization of smart grid technologies is much needed to meet the ever-increasing energy demand of the country. The China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a conglomerate of multibillion dollar infrastructural projects with a major focus on energy sector which offers a great opportunity for the country to invest appropriately in the power grid transformation. This research study is focused on devising a technical and policy framework for conversion of the existing power grid into smart grid under the umbrella of CPEC. Potential key drivers are identified for the deployment of smart technologies to upgrade the power grid of Pakistan. The presented research proposes a stage-wise implementation plan to upgrade the power infrastructure of the country. In particular, this research study presents cost benefit analysis for a case study with an aim to reduce the interruption index values. Obtained values of the cost benefit analysis suggest that the investment incurred for smart grid realization can be paid back within a period of twenty months and offers a positive net present value which establishes the financial feasibility of the project. Importantly, policies and recommendations are suggested which would enable the concerned stakeholders to ensure grid modernization as per the proposed smart grid implementation plan.

“…To overcome the problem of theft, overbilling, meter alleviating, a prepaid energy is made in Pakistan [25]. A case study was done in Pakistan for implementation of GSM based smart energy meters to be implemented for safe and secure reading and to avoid a meter reader from doing any changes in the reading [26]. Every year many of the dollars lost in fraud and meter reading alterations and illegal activities of the consumers [27].…”

<span>This paper presents the real-time monitoring of energy consumption utilizing the global system for mobile communication (GSM) via wireless protocols. The power supply company has the authority to change or alter the tariff rates. The method of payment is prepaid, so there will be options for the customer to request the number of units assigned to the particular meter against the money. The customer can monitor the number of units consumed with the help of GSM. If the units are ten percent of the total units, then the system will give a warning message so that the customer can recharge it before cutting off the supply. A GSM-based wireless module has remote access to the usage of electricity. Simulation is done on Proteus while the hardware is implemented using the microcontroller Arduino Uno.</span>
