Power Consumption Measurement Using Arduino and GSM, Zigbee

This document discusses a system for measuring power consumption using Arduino and GSM/Zigbee wireless communication. The system includes an energy meter connected to household appliances that sends power usage data to an Arduino board. The Arduino then transmits this data via GSM or Zigbee to a mobile phone or base station, allowing users to monitor their real-time electricity usage and costs. The goal is to increase energy awareness and conservation by providing more frequent usage updates than traditional monthly bills.

POWER CONSUMPTION MEASUREMENT USING ARDUINO AND GSM, ZIGBEE

Introduction:
In the existing power utility system, consumers are provided with power usage information every month by electricity board billing system. The length of the time, between updates, about power usage is too long for a consumer to observe the changes. In addition, utility bills can be complex about the present usage information, and a consumer may not be able to find changes in the power usage from the last bill. An opportunity to educate customers on power usage is lost because of these realities. If one is aware about the amount of power consumed per unit in a device, they will be careful in future about letting devices run when not needed. The goal of creating more awareness about energy consumption is optimization and reduction in power usage by the user, which would reduce the power costs and as well conserve energy.

Applications:
Wireless Power Meter designed to 1) Measure periodic power consumptions in residential, commercial dwellings and sub-stations in electric grid. industrial,

2) Display real time usage of electricity in terms of cost in residential and commercial areas. 3) Displaying unit count of current month and previous month and also bill amount. Details of the consumer can be seen by selecting the consumer from the list.

Advantages:

Wireless Power Meters can be benefit by

Eliminating manual meter reading Monitoring the electric system more quickly Making it possible to use power resources more efficiently Providing real-time data useful for balancing electric loads and reducing power outages Enabling dynamic pricing i.e., raising and lowering the cost of electricity based on demand
