Smart Meter Development for Cloud-Based Home Electricity Monitor System

摘要

Αcloud-based home electricity data-monitoring system,which is based on an Arduino Mega controller,is proposed for monitoring the electricity consumption(electrical power)and power quality(PQ)in home.This system is also capable of monitoring the fundamental frequency and supply-voltage transients to ensure that the appliances operate in a safe operation range.The measured data(voltage and current)are transmitted through a Wi Fi device between the Arduino controller and server.The transmission control protocol(TCP)server is set up to acquire the high-data transmission rate.The server system immediately displays the calculated parameters and the waveform of the acquired signal.A comparison with a standard measurement device shows that the proposed system,which can be built at a low cost,exhibits the same functions as a factory product.
