Automatic Data Acquisition of Electric Power Usage in Phnom Penh City

Abstract

Data acquisition of electricity power is one of the cases for EDC (Electricity of Cambodia). Every month EDC must send staff to have a look at every electric meter. Automatic Data Acquisition of Electric Power Usage (ADAEPU) replaces the traditional energy meter with a digital energy meter which provides the EDC to know the usage of energy and collect those data correctly. All the data will transfer from the system to EDC wirelessly. Developing countries do not have the last mobile generation all over the place. Therefore, Global system for mobile communications (GSM) takes part here as a transmission medium. The result shown that the system could monitor the power used of each house perfectly. This saves a lot of time and money and keeps them away from electric shock.
