IoT Based Smart Energy Metering System for Monitoring the Domestic Load Using PLC and SCADA

Abstract

The effort to obtain electricity utility meter readings and identify illegal use of electricity seems to be a very difficult and time consuming job in many other developing countries that needs a lot of effort and time. The Internet of Things energy meter reading and tracking device offers an accessible and cost effective way to transmit the energy data used by the user wirelessly and information networks to detect the unauthorized use of electricity. This proposed work aims to measure the electricity consumption of the electrical appliances in the house hold and it automatically generates the bill using smart meters. In addition this system can easily detect and screening the energy theft. The entire smart meters sensors have been equipped and controlled with PLC and monitored by the SCADA. The observed data will be taken from the digital energy meter and unite the system to a Wireless communication device and then passes the data to the Internet and Server. The detection of power theft will be obtained by using a sensor, it will work when any illegal usage of electricity. There is any chances of theft detection from the customer utility grid, it will automatically disconnected and enables supply again for the customer. The proposed system can handle of constantly tracking and notifying the energy supplier and the customer about the amount of units consumed. Energy usage is directly calculated and the bill is posted on the Internet through the Internet of Things network. The requirements of manual labor can be reduced by this automation.
