Abstract

Electricity is an essential requirement for various purposes, including domestic, industrial, and agricultural use. However, power theft has become a significant issue, causing substantial losses for electricity. The energy meter monitoring is an electronic device equipped with an energy meter chip to measure electric energy consumption and a wireless protocol for data communication. This system will continuously monitor and keep track of the electricity consumption for verification by setting a limit on their monthly usage. The primary objective of this project was to design a smart energy meter systems that employs instantaneous power calculation. This project mainly targets university students who choose to rent a house in the nearby campus. Some students have a habit of leaving their electricity running at home even when it is not required. To reduce that problem, the monitoring system programmed in the energy meter using the application phone software will monitor the current and voltage usage, also its cost. Additionally, users have the ability to turn off any appliances that are consuming excessive power to better manage their energy consumption. This system has a potential to be expanded for whole building energy usage monitoring, which could further lead to more accurate power bill calculation.
