Iot Based Smart Energy Meter Monitoring and
Billing System.
Manisha Tejwani, Prachi Rane, Moin Syed, Oyesh Patel, Pragyan Pandey
Abstract: Paper introduces a system which provides a
platform for a consumer to monitor the meter reading via
“ThingSpeak” and control the energy consumption, it will also
support in keeping the track of energy meter billing. This system
helps us to reduce turmoil’s and energy related dissent. The
system is implemented using Atmega328P microcontroller and
ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. This system do not require the
replacement of the energy meter but we associate this system with
the installed energy meter that benefit the consumer, the base for
designing and implementation of a system is
IoT (Internet of Things). The instantaneous data will be
fetched from the meter and uploaded on the ‘ThingSpeak’
IoT cloud platform.
Keywords: ATMEGA328P microcontroller, ESP8266
Wi-Fi module, Energy Mete, ThingSpeak.
I. INTRODUCTION
To measure the amount of energy consumed by domestic,
commercial and industrial user, energy meter is being used.
As the population of energy consumers are gradually
increasing the smart energy meter helps to ease the energy
management system. The paper depicts the solution for
reducing human involvement in energy management for the
domestic and industrial consumers. All the data monitoring
is done via a web based portal provided with a dedicated
internet connection. The system has to be made in such a
way that the power consumption is analysed properly.
Currently the system we use required human involvement
which leads to the time consumption also, it has always
been a necessity that a particular individual or person from
the energy department should visit the consumer house and
note down the readings and therefore errors can get
introduced .So in order to overcome the stress, smart energy
meter is introduced. In this work, the system uses
Atmega328p microcontroller because it is energy efficient
hence it consumes less power. The system will combine
with the energy meter which is already installed in place of
residence.

The consumer can easily access the figures of energy meter
through a webpage. The distribution companies are unable
to keep track of the changing maximum demand of
consumers due to this consumer is facing problems like
receiving due bills for the bills that have already been paid.
So to overcome these problems the remedy is to keep track
of the consumers load on timely basis, which will help to
assure accurate billing, track maximum demand and to
detect threshold value. By considering the present scenario
it is important to build an efficient energy meter. The
present project “IoT Based Smart Energy Meter Billing and
Monitoring System” addresses the problem faced by both
the consumers and the distribution companies.
This system make it easier for the electricity
department to read the meter readings monthly without a
labour work. This can be achieved by the use of
Atmega328p unit that continuously monitor and records the
energy meter reading in its memory location. The
consumers can continuously record the reading and the live
meter reading can be access to the consumer on request.
II. LITERATURE SURVEY
The basic idea is to get an appropriate reading from the
energy meter through the SMS service by a GSM module is
implemented by Rahman [1]. The system presents the
update module in which SMS service is replaced by the Wi-
Fi module so that it includes even more features with the
help of internet also system provides more flexibility to the
consumers to revote his/her conventional post-paid meter to
work as a prepaid one presented by Rahul Rajesh B, Mohan
Kumar S, Nayab Z Sharief [2]. The system presented by
Karthikeyan S, Bhuvaneswari P.T.V is cost effective as it
requires a simple upgrade on the existing meters than
complete replacement because it is light weight and compact
due to SoC for control and communication, the basic idea is
too strengthened and also to enhance performance of an
Energy Meter [3]. Modern day smart grid technology relies
heavily on communication networks for two-way
communication between load, generation, transmission, and
control center so considering this an advanced metering
infrastructures (AMI) is used in this system, proposed by
Saikat Saha, Swagata Mondal [4].
III. SYSTEM DESIGN
The design of the system includes power supply,
Atemga328p Micro-controller, Esp8266 Wi-Fi module,
Relay, Switch, LCD display. The load is driven by the relay
which is connected to the Atemga328p and an Energy
Meter, Wi-Fi modems to introduce ‘Smart’ concept.
