This document proposes a system to remotely monitor domestic power consumption using a microcontroller, energy meter, GSM/GPRS modem, and web server. The energy meter sends pulses to the microcontroller proportionate to power consumption. The microcontroller generates TCP stacks every 10 energy units and sends this data via GSM/GPRS modem to a web server. Users can then monitor power usage from anywhere through the web server or mobile notifications. This allows users to track energy consumption in real-time without monthly bills and identifies high usage appliances.
2. AIM
Updating of power consumption data
In domestic/industrial sectors using GPRS/
GSM
3. INTRODUCTION
• Now a day’s Many real time applications connected
to web (internet).
• This is very useful and helpful for customers to see
application (requirements) from anywhere in the
world.
• These web connected applications belong to server
client model.
• Data transfer to web server is done through GPRS
(General packet radio services) communication.
4. EXISTING SYSTEM
• Electricity is a commodity required to run most home
appliances.
• Electricity cannot be seen hence a consumer has no
idea about the amount of energy consumed until
he/she receives a monthly/yearly electricity bill.
• Even monthly bills do not breakdown the
consumption to an appliance level therefore users
have insufficient information to identify the energy
guzzlers in their homes.
5. PROPOSED SYSTEM
• In this project we can get updating of domestic electrical
power consumption.
• Here we connect energy meter to microcontroller.
Microcontroller gets pulses from meter according to power
consumption.
• For every ten units microcontroller generates one TCP stack
with standard data format.
• Other end of microcontroller GSM/GPRS modem is
connected. This modem updates TCP stack information to
web server and same data updates can also be sent to any
mobile.
• This is very useful to monitor power consumption remotely
from anywhere in the world.
7. BLOCK DIAGRAM
EXPLANATION
• POWER SUPPLY : 230v ac input supply converted
into +5v dc using various converters.
• GSM/GPRS: SIM900 GSM modem used which has
band width of 900/1800/1900mhz. GSM modem
requires “at” commands o initialize.
• MAX232: It is a intermediate device which
convert CMOS logic level to RS232 logic level bi-
directionally. In this project it is used as external
device o reconvert.
8. • 16F877A: It is a microchip 8 bit microcontroller called as PIC
(Peripheral Interface Controller) versions. It has 8KB flash
ROM, 368 bytes of SRAM, 256 bytes of EEPROM with in
built 10-bit ADC, USART, MSSP, PSP communications. IT is
40 – pin PDIP IC with 33 I/O bits (5 ports).
• 16X2 LCD: It support alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-Z, a-
z), punctuations(.,?@#%). It has 2 lines and 16 characters for
every line with font size of 5x7 matrix.
9. APPLICAIONS
1. Domestic applications such as energy meter reading.
2. Commercial applications
3. Industrial applications
4. Smart grid applications
5. Water meter reading applications.
6. Industrial & domestic gas consumption readings.
10. ADVANATAGES
• The system designed reduces the efforts of manual
data collection of energy meter. Also, data which is
received at service provider side is easy to manipulate
for bill generation and other such tasks.
• With this system we can collect the reading as well
as control the supply to the user.
• With addition of software at service provider side,
the customer can be informed of current meter
reading, bill for current cycle, status of the line and
other parameters to the customer with either message
or a phone call
