Remote Monitoring of Energy Meter using Cloud Storage

Abstract

Remote Monitoring of Energy Meter using Cloud storage is a project on enabling the measured energy which is consumed to be accessed by Android app in Mobile or in webpage through Data Excel Sheet. This is achieved by using Server Mediator (ESP8266), which stores the data in cloud storage. This study used Google cloud storage. Further, the current sensor and voltage transformer are used to calculate load current and supply voltage. These two parameters are given as input to Arduino to calculate the power consumed and also it will calculate the amount to be paid. These calculations are done by source code in C language that is programmed in Arduino. These calculated data will be send to LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to get displayed and also stored in cloud. This avoids the direct reading of energy meters and also the consumer can know current energy consumed wherever they are in the world. And also they can Turn On/Off by Android app itself when unwanted power flow happens when no one is there at Home. Through this the consumer can save energy which leads to energy management.
