Smart Grid System Using IoT

Smart Grid is a flexible Electric Grid, Communication and IT systems that can monitor the flow of energy from production areas to utility areas (even down to the level of electrical equipment) and control the flow of energy or reduce load to keep pace with real or near generation. Real-time smart Grids can be achieved through effective transfer and distribution systems, system functionality, customer integration, and renewable integration. Intelligent grid solutions help to monitor, measure, and control the flow of energy in real-time which can contribute to the detection of losses and thus take appropriate technical and administrative measures to capture losses. Electricity is an important invention otherwise life on Earth would not be possible. It is therefore clear that there is a need to measure the electricity used. A wattmeter is achieved, but a person from TNEB should visit each customer's house to measure energy consumption and calculate customer debt. So it requires a lot of manual labor and is time-consuming. We aim to build an IoT-based power meter for each TNEB customer. So the proposed energy meter measures the amount of energy used and uploads it to the Thitspeak cloud the affected person can view the reading. Power reading is sent to the cloud using ESP 8266, a Wi-Fi module. Power readings in a digital wattmeter are read using coupler opt and transmitted digitally to Arduino. So it automatically performs the process of measuring domestic energy use using IoT and thereby enables remote access and digitalization for each TNEB customer.
