II. INTRODUCTION

In the present scenario, the world is facing energy crisis. The optimum solution of this trending problem is tomonitor and control the power consumption. In power system, the number of consumers are growing speedily andthus the energy requirement. Move the energy requirement more is need to save energy losses. To save losses weneed to monitor the power consumption losses, so that we can utilize the generated power. As generation isincreasing in turn are the requirements. So there is a technological advancement needed, so we develop a systemwith faster and advanced technology i.e. IoT. Nowadays we have a burning concept of lot i.e. Internet of Thingsthrough this concept or technology the objects are sensed controlled remotely in the existing networkinfrastructure.[1] The existing energy meter did not perform two way communications. MSEB employee wouldcome and take a photo the energy meter or jot down the reading from the energy meter and would submit this datato the utility. Then there would be a approximation of energy bill and the consumer needed to pay the bill of theamount. Internet of Things (IoT) is a new information processing acquisition technology and also referred as thethird wave of information technology after internet, mobiles, computer network. In IoT everything is configuredwith internet protocol addresses and it can monitor controlled and access remotely in accordance with webtechnology. The main advantage of this technology is that devices are connected smartly with the help of sensorsand transducers and these are again connected to (Local area Network) LAN, (Wide Area Network) WAN, viaEthernet or Wi-Fi connectivity.[2]

III. RELATED WORK

Through a brief review of the published literature and previously done work, we can say that the researcheshave done a severe work on the plc power line communication and Internet of Things (IoT). It is concludedfrom the ken study of their work that in today`s world PLC & IoT based meter could improve the overallefficiency of the existing or present system and could help in examining the unnecessary losses of power indifferent areas.

EXISTING METHOD-

The present system only provides feedback to the customer at the end of the month. Also the meter readingsare taken manually. Consumer can know the units consumed by seeing their electricity bill only. Also hugemanpower is required to take the readings. There is no protection for energy meter tampering. The consumerscannot monitor the everyday energy consumption or usage. The major drawback of this system is themanagement of power consumption is difficult.[1]

PROPOSED METHOD-

In the proposed method, the consumer can manage their energy consumption by knowing their energy usagetime to time. This method not only provides two way communications between utility and consumer but alsoprovides other functions that are if the consumer fails to pay the electricity bill the energy supply would be cutdown from the utility side and once the bill is paid the energy supply is reconnected. Another huge advantageof this system is that it notifies the consumer & utility at the event of the meter tampering. By this informationthe consumer & utility can control the tampering are reduce energy crises.[3]

IV. IDEA/ MODEL

Since IOT is more cost effective than other communication ways. Monitoring of energy meter is possible.Reports of the energy consumption are generated daily and can be monitored through Arduino application webportal users can monitor and pay bill online.

A. RELAY

1. Master relay

2. Load relay

1. Master relay

This relay is located in between the 1-phase a.c. power supply and energy meter. This relay performs the following functions: Disconnect the supply if tampering takes place. Cut down of power supply if the issued bill is not paid and reconnecting of power supply when the bill ispaid.

2. Load relay

This relay controls th load. It is located in mid of load and energy meter. This relay is used to control the loadremotely.

B. ENERGY METER

This is a digital energy meter. The design of this energy meter is such that the surrounding things do not affectits working. The construction is such that it is UART compatible i.e. the reading recorded through energymeter is shared with the controller and displayed on the web page

C. POWER SOURCE

It is the supply received from the utility which is given to energy meter through master relay. This supply isused to obtain 5V regulated DC supply for the controller.

D. LOAD

For this project the load is simple or domestic i.e. CFL bulb, LED bulb, fan, etc this load is interfaced throughthe controller with help of sensors and other transducers. By using the feedback obtain from sensors and therelay operation the load can be controlled.

E. WEB PAGE

This is the web portal through which the daily energy consumption can be monitored; the graphicalrepresentation can be seen. The daily limit of energy usage can be set. The switching of any load can be done.The web page will have a admin login option so that we can keep our system secure. This page can be accessby both utility & users.

G. ETHERNET SHIELD

As controller has Ethernet port we used Ethernet shield for interfacing medium between Arduino board andEthernet connectivity. This then communicated the cloud and the data is obtain and displayed on the web page.[2]

V. WORKING

IoT is the main method of communication between the energy meter and web server. The sensor collects datafrom load and energy meter. This is then sent to Arduino through UART communication. The controller thenperforms logically and automatically operation using MQTT protocol. This data is then stored on the cloudsuch that we can monitor the data any time. This stored data displayed on the web page where the user andutility can monitor the data and perform the action they desire. Then the data is updated with the real timestatus of the connected devices. This updated data is send to the controller to takes the appropriate action.
