What is Energy METER?

An electricity meter or energy meter is a device that measures the

amount of electric energy consumed by a residence, business, or an electrically powered device. Electricity meters are typically calibrated in billing units, the most common one being the kilowatt hour [kWh].

Unit of Measurement
The most common unit of measurement on the electricity meter is the

kilowatt hour, which is equal to the amount of energy used by a load of one kilowatt over a period of one hour.

Types
Electromechanical meters

Electronic meters

Electromechanical meters
The most common type of electricity meter is the

electromechanical induction watt-hour meter or Thomson or electromechanical induction invented by Elihu Thomson in 1888. Operates by counting the revolutions of an aluminum disc which is made to rotate at a speed proportional to the power. The number of revolutions is thus proportional to the energy usage. It consumes a small amount of power, typically around 2 watts.

Electronic meters
Display the energy used on an LCD or LED
Electronic meters can also record other

parameters of the load and supply such as maximum demand, power factor and reactive Energy etc. Can support Time-of-day billing, for example, recording the amount of energy used during onpeak and off-peak hours.(Multi-Tariffs)

Our Project idea

We will Implement a Single-phase Energy meter based on the STPM

metering IC and ST microcontroller. The project board will be a fully functional single-phase solution with different parameters.

Components of Our Design

STPM Based metering IC

which measures the energy, voltage and current of the target.

ST microcontroller

That efficiently and securely stores, controls and transfers the measurements.
LCD for display.

Our Goal
We are going to implement a meter which wills measure:

RMS Voltage RMS Current Active power Energy usage (Kilowatt-Hours) Line Frequency

Project scope
This would be an excellent product for power distribution companies

and by using enhanced features used in the product, different parameters can be measured and monitored. Moreover, other issues like tamper management, maximum demand (MD) calculation can also be addressed. It will be a challenging task for us to measure and calculate parameters more precisely.
