Internet of Things Based Power Monitoring and Theft Detection

Abstract

Today, our world is facing a challenging environment everywhere, energy crisis being the most important. The only solution to this is having an applicable system to govern the power usage. Our motivation is to achieve independence, sustainability, reliability, security and quality, in terms of power, keeping aside our huge savings in the longer run. This project aims to deliver solutions to these problems by means of IoT as the means of communication and also attacking numerous other matters that smart systems can contract to avoid redundant losses to the energy suppliers and also contribute towards developing a sustainable environment. In this paper, a sincere attempt has been taken to list out the essentials of “Smart Energy Grid” and to overcome the listed issues and providing an accurate billing to allow the user to analyze their energy consumption without the interception of others. This grid can be implemented in advanced metering that provides an easy way of detecting the theft and monitoring power consumption.
