SMART ELECTRICITY USAGE ANALYZER AND CONTROLLER

Abstract

Electricity boards and consumers are facing problems like unpredictability of power consumption bills, power theft, Unannounced power failure etc. The solution to all of these issues is to promptly monitor customer load, which aids in appropriate billing. Thus, a smart energy management system called Energauge is proposed to track maximum demand, prevent power theft, and optimize the energy usage of the consumer. The Static Digital Energy Meter is a system that measures the energy consumed by a load and regulates abnormal electricity usage due to multiple loads being used at once. The controller system monitors the load within a limit and uses an opto-coupler to collect the pulse from the energy meter. The consumed electricity is calculated based on the TNEB standard tariff-based slab rating, and a mobile app displays the consumed energy and cost by date. The electricity usage analyzer and controller system ensure that the maximum demand is monitored and controlled effectively. An electromagnetic power relay controls the maximum demand, which is fixed in the system. The power circuit and lighting circuits are connected to the electromagnetic relay, which activates the load only after the load has been reduced and the acknowledge push button has been pressed. The Static Digital Energy Meter is a reliable and efficient system that allows users to monitor and regulate their energy consumption. The proposed energy management system is implemented and tested in a real-time environment.
