INTRODUCTION
Energy meter is a power monitoring device with some
additional features like it can communicate
using Modbus, Ethernet protocol and gives a real-time reading
to other intelligent device. This device is used to measure
accurate reading of voltage, current, frequency, power, power
consumption, power factor and many more like this.
An Energy monitoring system is a device that connects to

the electricity meter in your home. This device provides real-
time information on your energy usage. For example, the
device will tell you which appliances in your home are
currently using energy and how much energy each appliance
is consuming. Basically, an energy monitoring system
provides a snapshot of the amount of energy you are
currently using in your home.
Energy monitoring system is the most significant demands to

decrease the energy expenditure from the businesses. Smart
energy monitoring system technique tracks the usage of energy
of different regions of the plant throughout round the clock.
Why we use Energy Monitoring System

• Identify the excessive energy usage of different areas in
the industry.
• Monitor the energy consumption trends like current,
voltage, power factors, etc.
• Generate the power consumption report on hourly, daily,
weekly and monthly format.
• Detect instances when consumption is unexpectedly
higher or lower than as usual.
• Planning for future energy use and cost saving.
• Diagnose specific area of unwanted energy usage.
• Efficiently maintain the power factor.
Advantages of Energy Monitoring System
• Energy Monitoring System monitor the Real Power and

other Energy Parameters.
• Effective Operation & Maintenance means know the issue
in real time and take corrective action immediately.
• Energy Accountancy means to know your energy bill
before given by distribution company and get the breakup
of energy share of different equipment.
• Energy Saving Measurement means the measure the exact
energy saving achieved by each new project implemented.
• Automatic Reports & Alerts means Smart Energy
Monitoring System get the performance Reports of your
Plant And Equipment daily, weekly or monthly.
How Energy Monitoring System works:

• In smart monitoring system we will measure the supply voltage of
the household and the current flowing in the house through the
main supply cable. The supply voltage is measured via zmpt101b
(potential transformer). The current is measured by the split core
current transformer module SCT013.
• Now this data is collected on the Arduino uno board and we will
find the power consumed by the consumer.
COMPONENTS USED:
• SCT013-050
• ARDUNIO UNO
• CONNECTING WIRES
• RESISTORS
• CAPACITOR
RESISTORS:
Resistor is a device which is used to oppose the flow of current.
In this project we have used resistors of values 10k, 1k, and
22ohm shown in fig 3.1,3.2, and 3.3.
Fig 3.1) 10k

Fig 3.2) 1k
Fig 3.3) 22ohm
CAPACITORS:
In this project we have used the following capacitors:
Electrolyte Capacitor
SCT-013-050:
SCT-013-050 is a current transformer module which will
measure the current will is flowing through the transformer.
Ardunio Uno:
The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board. It contains a reset
button, 6 analogue inputs, 14 digital input/output pins), a USB
connection, a power connector, an ICSP header. It comes with
everything you need to support the microcontroller; simply
connect it to a computer through USB or power it using an AC-
to-DC converter or battery to get started. You may tamper with
your Uno without fear of breaking it; if something goes wrong,
you can replace the chip for a few bucks and start over. We
have collected the data on the Arduino uno board.
WIRING CONNECTION OF ENERGY MONITORING SYSTEM:
The connection diagram is simple. Both the Sensor, i.e., SCT-013

Current Sensor & ZMPT101B Voltage Sensor VCC is connected
to Vin of Arduino Uno which is a 5V Supply. The GND pin of
both the modules is connected to the GND of Arduino Uno. The
output analog pin of the ZMPT101B Voltage Sensor is
connected to analogous pin A0 of Arduino Uno. Similarly, the
output analog pin of SCT-013 Current Sensor is connected
to analogous pin A1 of Arduino Uno. You need a two resistor
of 10K & a single resistor of 100 ohms connected along with
a 10uF Capacitor. Apart from the circuit part, the AC wires
where the current and voltage needs to measured are
connected to the input AC Terminal of Voltage Sensor.
Similarly, the current sensor clip doesn’t have any connection
and a single live wire or neutral wire is inserted inside the clip
part as shown in the above circuit.
How to Build an Arduino Energy Monitor - Measuring

Mains Current Only:
Here’s how to build it:

Step 1: Gather Components
You will need:
1 x Arduino
Current sensing electronics

1 x CT sensor YHDC SCT-013-000
1 x Burden resistor 18 Ohms if supply voltage is 3.3V, or 33
Ohms if supply voltage is 5V
2 x 10k Ohm resistors (or any equal value resistor pair up to
470k Ohm)
1 x 10uF capacitor
Other
A breadboard and some single core wire.
Step 2: Assemble the Electronics

The monitor consists of the current sensor (which produces a
signal proportional to the mains current) and the sensor
electronics that convert the signal into a form the Arduino can
use.
Assemble the components per the diagram above.
Step 3: Upload the Arduino Sketch

The sketch is the software that runs on the Arduino. The Arduino
converts the raw data from its analogue input into human readable
values, then sends them to the serial port monitor.
A0 Upload the “current only”:
#include "EmonLib.h" // Include Emon Library

EnergyMonitor emon1;
float KWH = 0;
unsigned long lastmillis = millis();
float cost = 6;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
emon1.current(1, 111.1); // Current: input pin, calibration.
}
void loop()
{
double Irms = emon1.calcIrms(4440); // Calculate Irms only
Serial.print("Irms = "); // Apparent power
Serial.print(Irms); // Apparent power
Serial.print("\tKW = "); // Apparent power

Serial.print(Irms*230.0); // Apparent power
Serial.print("\tKWH = "); // Apparent power

KWH = KWH + Irms*230.0*(millis()-lastmillis)/3600000000.0;
Serial.print(KWH); // Apparent power
Serial.print("\tTOTAL BILL = "); // Apparent power

Serial.print(cost*KWH);
Serial.println(" "); // Irms
lastmillis = millis();
delay(5000);
}
Open the Arduino serial window

You should now see four columns of values. Ist is RMS current,
Second is Apparent power, Third is Power per hour, Fourth is total
bill.
Features
1. Boost energy efficiency by monitoring peak demand periods.
When energy demand is at its highest, homes and businesses must

devote a significant portion of their generational capacity to a very
short period of time. According to a report by Alcatel-Lucent, this
issue cannot be resolved by the current electrical distribution
system. The report claims that analysing data obtained from smart
metres provides a solution. Utility providers can establish pricing that
are specific to each customer’s usage patterns by tracking patterns of
power use. Energy-using equipment are used more effectively all day
long in this way.
2. Survive a power outage better:

Giga OM highlighted the storms earlier this month that left the East
Coast without electricity for days. The advantages of a smart
metering system during a blackout. Utility firms are quickly alerted of
the location of places that have lost power thanks to smart metres,
which offer up-to-date information on energy usage from remote
sites. Consumers can receive information from smart metres about
which local regions have electricity as well as fast alerts when the
power has been restored.
3. Control one’s own energy usage:
Smart metres are made to enable and promote consumer
participation in the analysis of individual consumption patterns. A
PBS NewsHour piece highlighted homeowners who are fully utilising
their smart meter’s features. They could quickly read their metre and
input the data into a computer programme to get a general idea of
their energy requirements.
4. Conserve resources and money:

Having easy access to data about one’s own energy usage has many
benefits, one of which is the ability to spot excessive periods. Utility
companies already do this analysis to determine pricing, but
consumers can also play a part in lowering prices by altering their
consumption habits in accordance with their own interpretation of
the data. This is only possible if customers make an effort to monitor
data from smart metres and adjust their consumption habits.
5. Power consumption in real time:

By giving them extensive information about power consumption in
real time, wireless metres based on Arduino allow utilities and
consumers more control. A central cloud server receives readings
from the meter, including electricity (kWh), voltage (v), current (I),
cost billing (Naira/USD), etc.
