Latest technology of power consumption monitoring
In
this project proposed a power consumption and monitoring system of the area
that continuously monitor the consumption of consumer. If this consumption is beyond
the limit of the meter in that case it cut off the power supply of the whole
area. The whole process is based on the Ohm’s law which states that,” the
electric power in watts associated with a complete electric circuit or a
circuit component represents the rate at which energy is converted from the
electrical energy of the moving charges to some other form, e.g.,heat,
mechanical energy, or energy stored in electric fields or magnetic fields”.For
a resistor in a D C Circuit the power is given by the product of applied
voltage and the electric current”.Here taking a voltage as a predefined data
and on the calibration of current the power will be calculated. At this point
of technological development the problem of illegal usage of electricity can be
solved electronically without any human control along with that meters are connected
to the internet using IoT concept.IoT concepts are used so that the information
regarding meter status will be send wirelessly from the place where the meter
is placed to the server from there it sends the information to the main station
or substation. This method eliminates the need of human power during
disconnectionand reconnection of the load.
