IOT BASED POWER CONSUMPTION MONITORING

ABSTRACT

A smart power meter is usually an electronic device that records the consumption of
electric energy in intervals and communicates that information at least daily back to the
utility for monitoring and billing. Smart meters enable two-way communication between
the meter and the central system. A Smart power metering system or issue is captivated
by countless profits. Projects in India and other countries prove that smart metering is
technically practicable. Main issues are the real value of the payback, the outlay involved,
the distribution of overheads and gross settlement of smart metering between markets
parties involved. An advanced metering road and rail network put forward the leeway for
auxiliary energy allied services such as demand side management and consciousness of
virtual power plants. The potential of smart metering relies profoundly on the policy and
decisiveness of the legislative bodies mixed up. Energy savings and an improved security
of supply are the major drivers and deems in smart metering as huge targets of a nation.
In our project, the smart meter is implemented with control over the usage of current and
payment via internet.

EXISTING SYSTEM

Current smart meters are limited to a brief description of the power consumption for
a certain period. In some cases, a special dedicated smart meter with power supply
control actuator is attached to monitor and control power consumption of an individual
appliance. Consumers cannot obtain more detailed feedback on appliances with the
special smart meters and the feedback is also limited to a simple description of the power
used and the cost for a certain period consumption.

DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

 Leads to current loss if the person is not there in home.

 Low efficiency.
PROPOSED SYSTEM

The proposed android based system integrates digital energy meters installed at consumer
unit with an electric supply company to monitor, profile and control energy flow. In this two-way
communication system, the network is utilized to profile the energy flow to the energy supplier
and showing it on the monitor of the energy supplier via web page and can also communicate
with the user via the internet. Relay circuit and LCD display is provided to update information like
Voltage, Current, Units and billing or sudden power cut to the energy supplier company and is
displayed. The Power metering system will monitor the consumed power in particular
home and updated on the web page. The bill payment section will be take place at home
itself. RFID reader will detect the smart card and amount selection via keypad. The
Controller will check the remaining amount continually. If balance is below certain level
buzzer will be turned on. If balance will reaches zero, then automatically load will be
turned off. And voltage and current sensor values are shown on the LCD.

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM

 Prepaid meter prevents the person from heavy billing.

 Easy to implement in the smart cities.
 It can reduce the manpower.
