Enhancement of Single-Phase Energy Meter in Residential Area Using GSM Shield Sim9000 for An Economics and Environment Assessment

Abstract

Enhanced energy or electrical meter is a new kind development on electricity measurement and energy consumption observation. This system will automatically send information to the energy supplier. The demand of energy consumption is increased because of the growth industrial development. Thus, the accurate energy bills are most important. Furthermore, the
enhancement of this system is important for the supplier in case of excessive energy consume from the costumer. It can be seen that the number of consumptions for these past few years are increasing. Thus, the method of using prepaid energy meter system is one of development that give benefit to both consumer and supplier.it will give the consumer having sense about
their energy consumption. the design of this project consists of Arduino, energy meter, GSM, mobile phone, voltage and current sensor, and relay. Each of this component have major important role for the prepaid energy meter. This project will also review on modelling Prepaid Single-phase Energy Meter using MATLAB/Simulink software. Where it is consist of voltage and current block, real power block, power factor block, energy measurement subsystem and recharged subsytem. This study presented the enhanced energy meter using prepaid method which give result to control the energy consumption. the result between simulation, prototype and calculated load shows the efficiency of the system.
