Abstract:

In India and many developing countries, electrical power usage has been calculated manually by observing the number of units in electrical power meter. Electrical power consumption bill amount is calculated manually and updated to the user as well as Electric board data base. The users need to pay the bill against the calculated amount, and it can be paid by direct cash or digital transaction. This conventional system involved more human resources. It has more chance for wrong calculations. Thus, the cost is too expensive, and the process takes too long. We proposed a system to allow consumers and service providers measure power usage, calculate bills for minimizing unnecessary power usage, and make remote bill payments in order to avoid falling into this trap. This study introduces the idea of an IoT (Internet of Things) enabled digital EB (Electricity bill) meter. The proposed system is developed using Arduino because it consumes less power, is faster and has two UARTs (universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter). Power transformers are used to calculate voltage and current level. Arduino control converts data into power unit using some simple calculations. Users can monitor the power usage, recharge, and pay the bill using android app or web page. The energy consumption is calculated continuously and if the user's electricity account balance reaches a low-level; warning will be given to the user. The electricity will be terminated when the available balance is less than the unit charge.

I. Introduction

The usage of electricity is increasing in the world day by day since electrical appliances and electronics gadgets are the part of every human life. So, the demand for electrical power is very huge. Also, the effective way of power distribution and effective usage of electrical energy are existing electricity billing system, electricity bill amount is calculated manually by visiting and referring meters in each building, unable to keep track of the electricity usage day wise and unable to control the load usage remotely to save the power. Also, the consumers are facing lot of issues while paying the bills like sometimes they will forget to pay the bill and the electricity connection will get terminated. Also, there is no mechanism to find the devices which one consuming the power. Sometimes they will forget to switch off the devices once their needs over. This leads to increase the unwanted and sometime accidents may happen or device may get damaged. The solution to all of these problems is to monitor the power usage of heavy loads continuously and remotely, which will be held to ensure accurate billing, high demand, minimizing the power wastage and low-cost acquisition. These are all factors that should be considered in designing an efficient energy billing system
