A Study on Improving Energy Metering System And Energy Monitoring.

Abstract

The invention relates to building an electricity meter which is user friendly and helps the customer to monitor
his/her energy consumption. The main feature is prepaid electricity system. This system will allow the user to recharge
for the amount of electricity to be used as per the tariff rates. This will allow the distribution company to keep a data
track on future load demand. The meter will send the notifications to the registered consumer mobile number through the
GSM module. Secondly this meter will help the user to keep a track on his/her 24 hour energy consumption. The user can
get information about the power consumption of the major loads in the house such as TV, fridge, AC, etc. The meter will
alert them if such appliances consume more energy than their ratings and thus the user can know about the faults in the
appliances. Thus we can do the entire surveillance of the energy consumption using this meter. This can lead a way to
energy conservation.
