POWER MONITORING AND BILLING SYSTEM USING IOT

The Existing domestic Energy meter reading systems universally exist many problems, such as difficulty in construction, too narrow bandwidth, too low rate, poor real time, not two way communication quickly etc.

To solve above problems, this paper uses the wireless technology for Automatic Meter Reading system. A proposed method provides the communication between the Electricity Board section and the consumer section using IOT for transmitting the customer’s electricity consumption and bill information that is calculated using Arduino.The information regarding the bill amount and payment are communicated to the consumer via Internet of things.Electricity is an important invention without which life on earth is impossible. So obviously there is a need for measuring the consumed electricity. It is accomplished by the energy meter, but a person from the electricity board has to visit each house for taking the readings about energy consumption which is used for further operation.

The billing process of electricity consumption which we are using at present is very long process and requires a lot of manpower and consumes time. Nowadays electricity cost is also high and therefore, it becomes a necessity for the consumer to know how much electricity is being used by them in order to control the electricity bill that should come within their budget. To tackle all these issues, we have intended to construct fully automated billing system i.e. “IOT Based Energy Meter Billing System”. The proposed energy meter measures the amount of electricity consumed and uploads it to the cloud, from which the concerned person can be given alerts. So it automates the process of measuring the energy consumption at homes using IoT and thereby enabling remote access and digitalization. The main objective of the project is to develop an IoT based system which replaces traditional meter reading methods and enables remote access of existing energy meter by the energy provider and monitoring of energy meters at lower cost is made possible. Daily consumption reports are generated which can be monitored through the web portal. The current system of electrical energy billing is erroneous and also time consuming. Errors get introduced at every stage of energy billing like errors with electro-mechanical meters, human errors while noting down the meter readings and errors while processing the paid bills and the due bills. This paper reduces the deployment of manpower for taking meter readings and distribution of bills. It has many advantages from both suppliers as well as consumer’s point.

In future, we can create a mobile application in which we can provide information about power consumption of each device, notifications, etc. Here, current and voltage measurement can be done. So that over current and over voltage protection can be implemented.

CONCLUSION

The present work is focused on the development of smart energy meter to avoid the electricity theft, to reduce the human efforts and time. This system updates the information about units consumed in every 1 to 2 seconds on the internet using public cloud THINGSPEAK. Proposed system is an IoT system where a user can monitor energy consumption in real time. Also a system where a user can receive alerts, when 50 percent, 90 percent of the specified threshold value is reached. If the customer does not pay the bill in time, the user is informed through a gmail. If still the consumer does not pay the bill, one alert notification will be sent, then automatically power supply connection is disconnected by the energy provider through Adafruit dashboard.
