DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ENERGY METER MONITORING SYSTEM USING INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)
Abstract
ABSTRACT
The measurement of energy consumed in residential and commercial buildings by utility provider is important in billing, control and monitoring purposes. Monitoring and keeping tracking of your electricity consumption for verification is a tedious task today since you need to go to meter reading room and take down readings. Well it is important to know if you are charged accordingly so the need is quite certain. Well we automate the system by allowing users to monitor energy meter readings over the internet. Our proposed system uses energy meter with micro controller system to monitor energy usage using a meter. The meter is used to monitor units consumed and transmit the units as well as cost charged over the internet using Wi-Fi connection. This allows user to easily check the energy usage along with the cost charged online using a simple web application. Thus, the energy meter monitoring system allows user to effectively monitor electricity meter readings and check the billing online with ease. The present system of metering techniques is faced with both technical and non-technical losses. These losses result in unacceptable low revenue and a general reduction in the profit margin of the entire power system that is among the highest capital-intensive infrastructures.
