| dc.description.abstract | This project describes the digitization of load energy usage readings over the internet. The
proposed system design eliminates the involvement of human in electricity maintenance. The
user can monitor energy consumption in watts from a apps by providing a channel id for the
load. Wi-Fi unit performs IOT operation by sending energy data of the load to the apps which
can be accessed through the channel id of the device. In the proposed system, consumer can
do power management by knowing energy usage time to time. This proposed system utilizes
an Arduino microcontroller. The unit which is generated can be displayed on the apps
through the Wi-Fi module. Smart grid is one of the features of smart city model. It is energy
consumption monitoring and management system. Smart grids are based on communication
between the provider and consumer. One of the main issues with today’s outdated grid deal
with efficiency. The grid becomes overloaded during peak times or seasons. It is also possible
to hack the system, and basically, take free electricity. By using smart grid consumer and
owner get daily electricity consumption reading and owner can cut electricity supply
remotely through internet if bill is not paid. One more thing, the data collected from the smart
meters should not be accessed by any unauthorized entities. We can monitor from anywhere
through the internet. We can also do this if we want to turn a system on or off. In case meter
tempering is happened then owner and consumer get message and then owner take the action
accordingly. Fitting the circuit on customer’s energy meter, from that energy consumption
data can be acquired. After acquiring of data, that data can be updated on cloud service, so
that consumer and provider can access that data through internet. | en_US |
