AN ENERGY EFFICIENT SMART METERING SYSTEM USING ZIGBEE NETWORK

ABSTRACT:
 An important research issue in smart metering is to correctly transfer the smart meter readings from consumers to the
operator within the given time period by consuming minimum energy. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient smart
metering system using Edge computing in ( ZIGBEE). We assume that all appliances in a house are connected to a smart
meter that is affixed with Edge device and LoRa node for processing and transferring the processed smart meter readings,
respectively. The smart meter is recharged with the help of GSM module. The EB station receives the amount and it
enables the smart meter to provide the electricity to the house. The recharge can be done on the daily basis and it sends the
alert message whenever the consumer exceeds the recharged days. This method helps to reduce the wastage of electricity.

2. Provider can get idea about the

WORKING PRINCIPLE
 In this proposed method, Arduino UNO microcontroller is used to interface with the sensors and to the communication
devices. The voltage sensor, current sensor and the RTC are used to identify the level of power usage in a house and
communicate the information to the provider through the ZIGBEE network. The ZIGBEE is used to communicate to the master
device and the IoT module ESP 8266 is connected to the Master device which continuously update the sensor value in to the
database. Thus the information about the energy consumption is monitored. The LCD is used to update the latest information in
the LCD. The GSM is used to send the SMS to the provider.
