IoT Based Power Grid Monitoring and Operating System.

Abstract

This project describes the digitization of load energy usage readings over the internet. Theproposed system design eliminates the involvement of human in electricity maintenance. Theuser can monitor energy consumption in watts from a apps by providing a channel id for theload. Wi-Fi unit performs IOT operation by sending energy data of the load to the apps whichcan be accessed through the channel id of the device. In the proposed system, consumer cando power management by knowing energy usage time to time. This proposed system utilizesanArduinomicrocontroller.Theunitwhichisgeneratedcanbedisplayedontheappsthroug h the Wi-Fi module. Smart grid is one of the features of smart city model. It is energyconsumption monitoring and management system. Smart grids are based on communicationbetween the provider and consumer. One of the main issues with today’s outdated grid dealwith efficiency. The grid becomes overloaded during peak times or seasons. It is also possibleto hack the system, and basically, take free electricity. By using smart grid consumer andownergetdailyelectricityconsumptionreadingandownercancutelectricitysupplyremotely through internet if bill is not paid. One more thing, the data collected from the smartmeters should not be accessed by any unauthorized entities. We can monitor from anywherethrough the internet. We can also do this if we want to turn a system on or off. In case metertempering is happened then owner and consumer get message and then owner take the actionaccordingly. Fitting the circuit on customer’s energy meter, from that energy consumptiondata can be acquired. After acquiring of data, that data can be updated on cloud service, sothatconsumer and provider canaccessthat datathroughinternet
