IOT Based Smart Energy Meter With Auto Daily Tariff Calculations Over Internet.
In the upcoming Internet of Things (IoT), the everyday objects that surround us will become
proactive actors of the Internet, generating and consuming information. The elements of the
IoT comprise not only those devices that are already deeply rooted in the technological world
(such as cars or fridges), but also objects foreign to this environment (garments or perishable
food), or even living beings (plantations, woods or livestock). By embedding computational
capabilities in all kinds of objects and living beings, it will be possible to provide a
qualitative and quantitative leap in several sectors: healthcare, logistics, domestics,
entertainment, and so on.
Due to the drastic changes in technology in the last decade, so many advancements were
introduced in electricity departments. The electricity bill can be paid now through E-Seva
centers, Net-banking and even through mobile phones.
In this project electricity consumption by the user i.e. Units consumed in that meter will be
available in the mobile phone/pc through internet using IOT module and also 16X2 LCD is
provided to read units available. Whenever there is a change in count value / units in the
meter get changed, these values are displayed on LCD. This system uses 5V regulated power
supply for the microcontroller unit and 18V supply for the load. This is provided by the 18V,
2Amp transformer. Recharging unit also requires regulated 5V supply, which is provided by
a separate 18V and 750mA transformer. Hence this project provides a best solution for the
users to know how much amount of power is consumed in their day- to- day life and also the
amount of power consumed is also under the user control.
Existing System:
In the present billing system the distribution companies are unable to keep track of the
changing maximum demand of consumers. The consumer is facing problems like receiving
due bills for bills that have already been paid as well as poor reliability of electricity supply
and quality even if bills are paid regularly. The remedy for all these problems is to keep track
of the consumers load on timely basis, which will held to assure accurate billing, track
maximum demand and to detect threshold value. These are all the features to be taken into
account for designing an efficient energy billing system.
Proposed System:
In this project electricity consumption by the user i.e. Units consumed in that meter will be
available in the mobile phone/pc through internet using IOT module and also 16X2 LCD is
provided to read units available. Whenever there is a change in count value / units in the
meter get changed, these values are displayed on LCD.
