Abstract

The electricity industry has always been under scrutiny in order to improve the quality of electricity supply, measurement and billing services to have the at most user transparency, while providing these services with the highest efficiency. Although many solutions have emerged, of which the smart meter was considered a viable option, it was quick to perish under the prodigious complications with the real-life feasibilities. El DApp- An electricity power consumption tracking application solution, harnessing both the IoT and Blockchain utilities to provide a decentralized and secure recording mechanism, that provides an improved architecture to the smart meter is proposed in this article. The El DApp provides a high security and cost efficient decentralized live electricity power consumption recording of the user that is maintained by a Raspberry Pi based Ethereum network.
