Aswathy P.R, C.Shanthi

Smart meters are the key component of the smart grid which helps both the user and supplier to control consumption of energy according to availability of resources .Electricity market is facing great losses due to an increase in cost for generation of resources .The wastage of electric energy again results in economical problem, thus smart metering system has been considered as a good method to make use of energy effectively. The proposed energy metering system consists of energy meter, communication using Ethernet and webserver.A single phase energy meter has been implemented using ARDUINO microcontroller and communication part has been implemented using Ethernet communication. Server and consumer end are implemented in webserver.This meter is able to measure energy and will communicate the data to the electricity board, which stores the information and notify the consumer through SMS messages.
