Popis: The rising demand and tariff rates of electric power have derived the need to develop innovative methods to monitor, manage, economize and save energy. Energy monitoring and conservation are pre-eminent today because of the imbalance between power generation and demand. This paper proposes the outline and application of electrical energy measurement by an Arduino micro-controller that is used to calculate the power consumed by any individual electrical device. The main intention of the presented energy meter is to monitor, acquire and interpret the power consumption data online by integrating smart plugs, sensors at the device level and upload it to the server using IoT based communication protocol. Thus, this project enables the consumer to act accordingly to save power and to render a reliable power supply by making maximum use of energy sources in the cheapest ways.
