SMART ENERGY METER WITH OVERLOAD PROTECTION AND ALERT SYSTEM

Abstract

Advancements in automation are revolutionizing our surroundings and simplifying our lives.
Our concept revolves around developing an automated electricity billing system to enhance daily life
convenience. The primary objective is to design a system that automatically generates electricity bills.
The entire module will monitor electricity consumption, with an Arduino microcontroller unit employed
to track all units consumed. Users will have the flexibility to set a predetermined load value, and if this
limit is exceeded, they will receive a notification on the LCD display indicating "system overload" for
that phase. This alerts users to their load status, empowering them to manage their usage effectively. Our
prototype offers two key advantages: users can define an energy threshold, and they are promptly notified
if this threshold is surpassed. This not only benefits users but also the electricity provider by promoting
efficient energy management. Additionally, the meter will trip in cases of high energy consumption,
thereby enhancing safety for domestic users.
