Power Monitoring and Controlling System
Power Monitoring and Controlling System
ABSTRACT
A Power Monitoring and Controlling System (PMCS) is a high-tech digital device that
measures, monitors, and records energy consumption in real time within a collage, institutions,
households, or facilities. Unlike traditional meters that require manual readings, PMCS
automates the process, providing real-time, accurate energy usage data. These meters use
cutting-edge technologies, such as digital displays and communication modules, as well as
sensors, to collect all necessary information about energy usage. The primary purpose of a
PMCS is to measure the amount of energy used or utilized in a section, usually in kWh, and
transmit this data to the utility provider and to the consumer using wifi /Bluetooth module .
automation should be done for energy efficiency. The real-time data enables users to better
control and understand energy consumption parameters, allowing them to make better energy
management decisions by using mobile device.

The proposed initiative is focused on developing and executing an IoT-based smart power
monitor system to offer a holistic solution for efficient energy management and dynamic real-
time monitoring. The fundamental architecture involves the seamless integration of essential
hardware components such as precision energy meters, intelligent microcontrollers, IoT
modules, current and voltage sensors, and communication interfaces leveraging MQTT and
HTTP/HTTPS protocols. These protocols enable the smooth transmission of data to a robust
cloud platform optimized for agile storage and comprehensive analysis. Concurrently, a user-
centric mobile/web application serves as a conduit for users to access real-time energy
consumption data and control remote devices. Thorough validation and testing phases ensure the
accuracy of energy measurements and the flawless operation of the system. The data collected
provides valuable insights into consumption patterns, facilitating discussions on the system's
accuracy, efficiency, and overall performance. The project also addresses challenges encountered
and outlines future enhancements, including the integration of renewable energy sources and
innovative machine learning models. This project sets the stage for redefining energy
management practices and driving sustainable changes in energy consumption.
