Smart Energy Meter Auditing with Power Demand Controller Using IOT

Abstract

In everyday life, electricity plays a cardinal function. With a 5.5 percent global share in 2016, electrical energy consumption in India is the third largest after China and the USA. The rate of energy usage per person is closer to 0.7 KW in India. By 2035, India's share of global energy demand increase to 9 percent. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a developing field and a revolution in electro-based devices has been generated by IoT based devices. The main goal of this project is to raise awareness of the use of energy and the effective use of home appliances to save energy. In current electricity billing scheme has substantial disadvantages due to manual labor. It can see a person standing in front of house from electricity board, whose duty is to read the energy meter and handover the bills to the owner of that house every month. This is nothing but meter reading. According to that reading it have to pay the bills. The main drawback of this system is that person has to go area by area and he has to read the meter of every house and handover the bills. Many times errors like extra bill amount, or notification from electric board even though the bills are paid are common errors. To overcome this drawback that have come up with an idea which eliminate the third party between the consumer and service provider, even the errors be overcome. This system provides data on meter reading, power cutting and warning systems to generate an alarm when energy usage exceeds the defined limit using IoT. This principle is being applied to decrease human reliance in order to gather monthly reading and reduce billing process technical issues. This project expands the design and implementation of an energy monitoring system by using the PIC MICRO CONTROLLER and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module to pre-intimate the power agenda.
