Introduction
➢ The Smart Energy Meter has attracted a lot of attention from all over the world.

➢ This device can be implemented to reduce the human dependency in collecting

monthly reading and minimize the Technical problems encountered during billing
process.

➢ In this project a design and prototyping a low-cost IoT energy monitoring is

presented, which may be utilized in a variety of applications such as power billing,
smart grid energy management, and home automation.

➢ The system is based on a low-cost ESP32 microcontroller that is interfaced with

non-invasive Current Transformer (CT) sensor, and voltage sensor to get data
from sensor nodes and deliver it to a Blynk server over the internet .

Literature Survey
1. The “Ardunino Based Smart Meter” proposed by Alan P. Nebrida, Chavelita
D. Amador, Clyed M. Madiam, Glenn John S. Ranche, Niel Carlo P. Nieves
were able to design Arduino based smart energy meter that can be monitored in
real time and measured data were displayed in LCD and Blynk application. This
used nodeMCU ESP8266 as WIFI module to communicate over the internet.
2. The “Smart Energy Meter Using Arduino UNO” proposed by Jesteena, Dr.
Baswaraj Gadgay, Mallesh Hatti utilized Arduino UNO to calculate the amount
of energy consumed and GSM Module allows the central authority server and
energy meter to automatically send SMS messages to consumer .

3. Kaur M proposed an “Energy Consumption Monitoring System Based on

Arduino-Uno and Ethernet”. A user accesses the information using an IP
addresss on their devices. However, this system requires a high initial installation
cost. A WiMAX transceiver is used to send data from the meter to the server.
4. The “Smart Energy Meter and Monitoring System using IOT” proposed by
K B Shiva kumar were able to design a smart energy system includes Arduino,
WI-FI,energy meter.The System automatically were reads the energy meter and
provides.
5. The “IOT Based Smart Energy Meter Monitoring and Controlling System”
proposed by K Krishna Reddy were able to show the amount of unit consumed
and transfer the data to both customer and electrical boards.

➢It has been observed that most of the “Smart Energy Meter” were built using
Ardunio with the separate WIFI Module, since Arduino don’t has inbuilt WIFI
Module. But ESP32 has built in WIFI and Bluetooth support. It is perhaps the
main reason to switch from Arduino to ESP32.

➢This idea of using ESP32 to design “Smart Energy Meter” is implemented in

‘International Journal of Computer,Communication and Informatics’ which
published article on “ESP32 Based Energy Consumption Meter” by Paul Stone
Macheso,Doreen Thotho(2022).

➢ By extracting this concept from the above referred smart energy meter, we further
improved to implement Automatic bill generation. This can help the users in the
area of data access, billing transparency and energy efficiency.

Objectives
The objectives of our project are as follows:

1. To analyze the amount of power consumption by various appliances.

2. To track daily power consumption of each appliances.
3. Display the number of units consumed on daily basis.
4. Calculate the electric bill on first of every month and display the bill.

Methodology
1. The amount of power consumption is analysed by taking the values from the
current sensor SCT-013 and voltage sensor ZMPT101B.
2. The installed EmonLib continuously monitors the electrical energy which
calculates a true average (Vrms,Irms) quantity.
3. The energy meter data is displayed on LCD and it is also uploaded to Blynk 2.O
application.
4. The system uses the cost of each unit of energy consumed to calculate the
electricity cost, updated values will be displayed.

The building blocks of Electric Energy Consumption Meter are as follows:

➢ ESP32 Microcontroller : It acts as a heart microcontroller that come equipped
with dual mode Bluetooth and builtin WI-FI.
➢ SCT-013 Current Transformer : Alternating current upto 100 A is measured by
CTs.
➢ ZMPT101B AC Voltage Sensor : It is used to detect precise AC Voltage.
➢ 16X2 I2C LCD Display : This LCD Display has an inter-integrated circuit(I2C)
interface and 16X2 resolution.
➢ Arduino IDE : It is an open source Arduino software that allows to build and
test instruction.
➢ Blynk 2.O Application : Blynk is a cloud IOT platform for android smart
phones that is used to control microcontroller like ESP32 via internet.

Expected Results
➢ The user-interface dashboard is to be displayed; the web dashboard of the
sensor node is used as an example.
➢ Blynk app is used to generate the dashboards. The dashboard is made up of
gauges that shows the RMS voltage, current, and power utilized as well as
energy consumed.
➢ The 16X2 LCD displays how the measured energy data changes over time.
➢ The sensor data is gathered and transferred to the blynk server from the energy
