IoT Based Energy Meter with Theft Detect

Abstract

The idea of this paper is to have energy meter design using IoT (Internet of Things) and implementing based on microcontroller. The buyer has the possibility of pre paying/ post paying the electricity usage on schedule. If not paid, the utility centres can switch off the supply remotely. The monitoring of the electrical energy consumption can be made easy by the customer on their mobile/PC.Power theft is detected by using current sensors. Theft detected will be notified on service provider end. The IoT operation is performed by Wi-Fi unit. The meter data is send to webpage that can be accessed from IP address. IoT has made a virtual network between the human and this physical world and has drastically changed the way business works. This can be accomplished by sending the ideal stage between the gadgets for data transmission. In this paper, IoT technology is utilized in distribution system to detect the power theft.
