Ethernet based Smart Grid to for monitoring and controlling Energy sources

Abstract

Smart meters are the key component of the smart grid which helps both the user and supplier to control consumption of energy according to availability of resources .Electricity market is facing great losses due to an increase in cost for generation of resources .The wastage of electric energy again results in economical problem, thus smart metering system has been considered as a good method to make use of energy effectively. The proposed energy metering system consists of energy meter, communication using Ethernet and web server. A single phase energy meter has been implemented using ARM microcontroller and communication part has been implemented using Ethernet communication. Server and consumer end are implemented web server. This meter is able to measure energy and will communicate the data to the electricity board.
