Abstract

This project report describes the development of an electric meter with integrated circuit to display household monthly electricity usage. Unlike the conventional meters, this project also tries to integrate an electricity cost calculator into the same device. So the meter could display two information on its screen; amount of electricity usage (kwh) and the amount of bill (RM). The cost calculations are based on the pricing and electricity tariffs rates provided by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB). It is built to educate people to a better manage the usage of energy. By showing the amount of bill of current use and appropriate indicator and monitoring element, the household will be trained to use energy in economically. This project uses PIC18F4553 microcontroller as a processor to execute programming code and instruction for the output and input peripheral. The main component of this energy meter is ACS758 50A Current Sensor that detects the current flow in a circuit as a compulsory element to calculate energy. This product can be considered as green technology product and helps the environment in the long run.
