INTELLIGENT ONLINE MEASUREMENT AND

MANAGEMENT OF ENERGY METER DATA THROUGH

ADVANCED WIRELESS NETWORK

In this paper with the help of an energy chip, an improved energy metering solution is

developed, where automating the progression of measurement through digital wireless

communication technique is adopted to get the above benefits along with smooth control. The

developed energy meter calculates the total average active power mainly for residential

consumers. The hardware circuit accepts single phase voltage and currents as its inputs and

provides the output in the form of logic data proportional to the average real power. This data is

fed to a remote computer server through the wireless ZigBee network that represents the concept

of distant wireless metering, practically involving no manpower.

Existing System:

In this existing system, it needs a manual power to monitor and measure the meter

reading in the power meter. And also if any fault current flow i.e. changes of current flow

between phase and neutral are not monitored. So it is very difficult to detect those types of

situation in the industries.

Proposed System:

In this system we are able to monitor and measure the meter reading from the remote

place. Here we are using Zigbee wireless technology, current sensor which is all interfaced with

the microcontroller. The Load is connected with the power supply using Energy meter, the meter

measures the values and then the values are fed to microcontroller, then the microcontroller

transfer the meter value to internet using zigbee wireless technology. In other end PC receives

meter value using wireless and uploaded to internet using V.NET application. EB department

can see the customer EB value through internet itself. The PIC microcontroller senses the

current value of phase and neutral and compare with that value for fault identification. If fault

occurs the microcontroller invokes the alarm indication.
