Recently the Electrical supply companies are trying
to adopt the electronic measurement of energy consumption data because of
reduced manufacturing cost, improved measurement accuracy, increased timely
information, miniature size and many other benefits that go well beyond the
traditional rotor-plate energy meter type. In this paper with the help of an
energy chip, an improved energy metering solution is developed, where automating
the progression of measurement through digital wireless communication technique
is adopted to get the above benefits alongwith smooth control. The developed
energy meter calculates the total average active power mainly for residential consumers.
The hardware circuit accepts single phase voltage and currents as its inputs
and provides the output in the form of logic data proportional to the average
real power. This data is fed to a remote computer server through the wireless
ZigBee network that represents the concept of distant wireless metering, practically
involving no manpower. This paper also presents a software solution developed
for total electrical energy billing and data management system.
