An IOT Framework based Automated Wireless Meter System for Monitoring, Billing and Controlling Power Consumption

The amount of power used in private houses nowadays is rising daily. Because we must physically travel to the meter room to gather readings, verification and ongoing monitoring are highly important tasks. Well, a consumer needs it since they will be charged based on how much power they use. One of the biggest problems facing the globe today is how to manage its energy resources, particularly in low-income developing nations like Malaysia where imports account for the majority of energy production, placing a heavy burden on the national economy. Researchers and those in charge of making policy are suffering because of this abundance. Over time, the domestic energy landscape has seen tremendous transformation. Therefore, effective energy management is a critical problem that must be addressed to help the economy move toward a higher development trajectory. Energy supply, demand, and pricing challenges require a comprehensive approach to be addressed. The Smart Energy Meter is a tool used for energy accounting and auditing, distribution transformer centers, and substation feeders that monitors energy most precisely in industrial settings. Smart meters are used in solar, wind, and thermal power facilities. Energy meters use parameters such as instant parameters, load profiles, daily profiles, and billing profiles. Instant profile enables the assessment of voltage, current, phase angle, active power (KW), reactive power (KVR), and perceived power in real time (KVA).

I. Introduction

Population expansion, urbanization, and technical breakthroughs like bitcoin mining and smartphones that demand a lot of electricity to run are the main causes of the increase in global energy consumption. But why is high power use a problem? This issue can be looked at from various angles, such as the production strategy.
