A smart metering system for wireless power measurement with mobile application

摘要

At present, advanced meter enabled with wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) communication can play a pivotal role for energy measurement in smart grid. However, the traditional metering and billing system implemented in developing countries (e.g. Bangladesh) even some developed countries is too non-automated and complex that leads a wake-up call to establish a robust and smart metering system to measure energy for user convenience. In this paper, an automated smart metering system is presented to measure energy consumption wirelessly for residential/ industrial areas. The measurement system is an ARDUINO based master-slave wireless technology that incorporates with smart billing payment scheme via Android mobile application. This wireless technology requires a pair of RF transmitter and receiver for transmitting energy consumption data, and for subsequent billing and payment system. Here the authors also measure the performance of the proposed system analytically.
