IOT Based Smart Power Metering

In India, plug load devices in building sectors are consuming close to 40 percent of the total electricity consumption. Though the share of plug load in building energy is increasing, very few studies exist on the plug level energy usage and consumption. In order to address the growing energy use of miscellaneous and electronic load (e.g. water heater), some measures need to be taken. Hence identifying needs, this project focuses on designing the devices that have built-in capability to measure and report the energy use or receive control input over the network. This study will help in creating energy awareness devices. Current sensor measures the current flowing through device then controller performs necessary calculations on the data and puts that data on the internet. By measuring current and voltage, we can analyze energy consumption, make the world smarter place and make better decisions using Internet of Things.
