Abstract

Electricity is one in all the basic requirements of every person that is often used for industrial, domestic, and agricultural utilities. Proper billing with monitoring is essential for better energy optimization. Power burglary is that the biggest problem in present days that causes loss of electricity boards. This paper presents an Internet of Things (IoT) based smart bidirectional meter for automatic reading and billing system with Grid connected or islanding mode of smart grid having integrated renewable energies with the facility of prepaid and postpaid mode. This paper also describes how faults are detected with its position, without Global Positioning System (GPS). When a user consumes more than applied energy then this smart device interrupt the power and send the corresponding data to the server. This study used ATmega328pu as a primary microcontroller and ESP8266-12E for sending and receiving the data from the server.

Keywords

Smart Meter, Power Burglary, Distribution Grid, ESP8266-12E, ATmega328pu, GSM (Global System for Mobile), (GPS) Global Positioning System.
