Smart Energy Meter Under Gruha Jyothi Scheme in Karnataka

The project develops a smart energy meter designed for the Gruha Jyothi scheme in Karnataka, enabling accurate measurement and real time data access for 200-unit free electricity cap, contributing to improve the collecting electricity meter readings and identifying unlawful electricity usage is a difficult and labor-intensive operation that requires large human resources in many poor nations. Utilizing Internet of Things technology provides a quick and affordable way to identify potential electricity theft and wirelessly send consumer energy consumption statistics. The objective of research is to employ IoT to measure household electricity consumption and automatically create invoices and send the notification to the device before reaching 200 units and make use of scheme. The project also seeks to detect and reduce energy theft. To do this a Wi-Fi network connection is made, a microcontroller is used to coordinate operations with the digital meter system, and then these connections are made to a server. A sensor is also built into system to find any unauthorized changes to the metering device. The system can automatically disconnect and restore the supply while also sending a warning to server in such circumstances. The suggested system has the ability to automatically calculate and update invoices via an IoT, continually monitor energy consumption, and provide data to both provider and consumer and by this consumer can make use of Gruha Jyothi scheme. There may be less demand for manual labor as a result of this technology.
