DESIGN OF RASPBERRY PI WEB-BASED ENERGY MONITORING

SYSTEM FOR RESIDENTIAL ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION
Abstract:

Now energy management is a major issue of whole world. Due to our mistakes, lots of energy is
lost. We always forgot to switch off light, fan and other appliances that consumes electricity. In
the developing nations, the attempt of gathering electricity usage and recognizing illicit usage of
power is a troublesome and tedious undertaking which requires abundant human resources. The
network of smart home system is powerless against theft. The goals of undertaking are the
measure of energy being utilized by the business. Industry, home, hospital etc. just as giving
suggestion through IOT.

This Smart Energy Meter Billing System will detect the cause of energy loss in our home,
residential building etc. here we are using a wireless Technology to control home loads. And
also, we are checking energy meter theft detection by using energy meter with help of LDR
Sensor.

Keywords: Raspberry Pi, WSN, IOT.

Existing System

In existing systems, we have power consuming details and the user can check the power
consumption but it doesn’t have adding of additional units of power and controlling of loads
from long distances.

Drawbacks:

In the existing system meter tampering can be done easily

Manual Work is more and errors may happen

Proposed system:

The proposed system presents friendly expense design and implementation of home load control
by maintaining of power consumption. The energy meter is connected to Raspberry Pi. When the
energy meter started then the LDR will read the units and displays it on LCD. The values are
sent to cloud and if the units are consumed then SMS will be sent using GSM.
