This work proposes a real-time electricity bill for quantifying the energy used in domestic facilities in Mexico. This bill is a low-cost tool that takes advantage of the IoT technology for generating an easy reading real-time bill allowing the customers to constantly review and administrate their energy consumption. Using low-cost sensors and the electronic board Particle® Photon, an energy meter is proposed. The presented prototype is extremely compact and satisfies safety measures to be used by anyone in a domestic installation. The measurement data is displayed and processed in real-time, and an appropriate algorithm determines the accumulated kWh. The energy consumed is displayed using an Html interface of easy interpretation for the customers, given recommendations about their consumption habits and some alarms in case of abnormal or high consumption. As a reinforcement measure for avoiding large consumption bills, the system is programmed to send messages to the user, remembering if the estimated consumption is large.

With increase in low cost internet and with advent of 4G technologies increase in internet speed, IoT-based applications are getting more popular day by day and it provides effective solution of many real time monitoring problems. In this research, a cloud based real-time monitoring system for industrial energy meter has been proposed. The prototype system provides continuous and ubiquitous access to energy consumption of the equipment under monitoring to the consumer using IoT technology. To implement the system in any industry it requires a simple and low-cost upgrade to the existing meters rather than complete replacement. Based on the experimental analysis, it is found that from the collected data, it is possible to obtain the pattern of consumption as well as faultiness present in the existing system. In terms of future scope of work, the presented work can also be extended to grid distribution level from which load distributed in the area can be estimated so that the system can be strengthened to enhance performance.

Energy consumption is currently on the ascendency due to increased demand by domestic and industrial consumers. The quest to ensure that consumers manage their consumption and the utility companies also monitor consumers to manage energy demand and production resulted in smart energy meters which are able to transmit data automatically at certain intervals being introduced. These Smart Meters are still fraught with challenges as consumers are unable to effectively monitor their consumption and the meters are also expensive to deploy. This research aims to present a novel IoT based Smart Energy Meter that will gather consumption data in real time and transmit it to a cloud data repository for storage and analysis. The novelty of this inexpensive system is the introduction of an ADM25SC Single Phase DIN-RAIL Watt-hour Energy Meter which sends power to the microcontroller and also the introduction of a backup battery that keeps the meter on for some time to transmit outage data during power outages. Data gathered from the proposed IoT based Smart Energy Meter for a period is compared against that of the same period from a Smart G meter, a widely used energy meter, and is found to be very close confirming the accuracy of the IoT based Smart Energy Meter.

Environmental awareness, current trends in the power market, the quest for energy efficiency, and the progressive transformation of electricity consumers to prosumers are the primary drives for the gradual shift from the old power grids into the smart grids. The deployment of renewable dispersed generation systems and energy storage units uncovered the need for smart metering to oversee and control those generation systems. This chapter presents the design and development of a robust, efficient, multi-functional, and low-cost smart meter. The proposed metering system has added features that enabled the utilities to recover the meter energy measurement data remotely. The system allows monitoring and transmission of energy consumed in real-time. It considers using a microcontroller board as the controlling unit to execute control and monitor activities. A liquid crystal display displays standard electrical measurements such as current, voltage, power, and energy consumption. The external communication device is required in the unit’s actualization, in conjunction with the control unit based on the existing mobile technology. It stands as the intermediary between the nearby available utility station and consumers or end-users. In conclusion, liquid crystal display displays real-time based data for the end-user to visualize.

In this proposed system, scheduled power management is to reduce the excess use of energy and to reduce the energy tariff of the domestic consumers. The price differs, if one unit exceeds the value fixed by tariff 1a plan. For domestic customers, scheduling of energy is done by using energy meter which is controlled by IOT and Arduinos. If the consumer uses excess of scheduled energy the user gets an SMS and the circuit will be tripped automatically, in case if there is necessity for more energy, we switch to normal function from the scheduled function which can be maintained by IoT. The consumer can check the energy consumption in webpage. The internet of things paradigm has been proposed in order to check the energy consumption and also for automation purposes like tripping the circuits when energy usage is increased. A very low cost, advanced embedded hardware has been used to make the prototype model.

The traditional qPCR instrument is bulky, expensive, and inconvenient to carry, so we report a portable rotary real-time fluorescent PCR (polymerase chain reaction) that completes the PCR amplification of DNA in the field, and the reaction can be observed in real-time. Through the analysis of a target gene, namely pGEM-3Zf (+), the gradient amplification and melting curves are compared to commercial devices. The results confirm the stability of our device. This is the first use of a mechanical rotary structure to achieve gradient amplification curves and melting curves comparable to commercial instruments. The average power consumption of our system is about 7.6 W, which is the lowest energy consumption for real-time fluorescence quantification in shunting PCR and enables the use of our device in the field thanks to its self-contained power supply based on a lithium battery. In addition, all of the equipment costs only about 710 dollars, which is far lower than the cost of a commercial PCR instrument because the control system through mechanical displacement replaces the traditional TEC (thermoelectric cooler) temperature control. Moreover, the equipment has a low technical barrier, which can suit the needs of non-professional settings, with strong repeatability.

as domestic electrical energy consumption keeps increasing, consumers become more aware of energy usage and efficiency because of economic and environmental reasons. The energy meter described in this paper is aimed at household smart metering for better energy management. The meter system uses a single microcontroller to acquire mains voltage and current waveforms and calculate power parameters: RMS voltage and current, instant power, power factor and energy. These parameters are stored locally on memory card for long period standalone recording, or transmitted in real time using an IoT Long Range radio for instant readings or short period monitoring. Measurement data of electrical power usage of a typical family household and energy consumption is presented where domestic appliance patterns are identified over an operating period. These patterns enable the estimation of energy usage distribution among appliances.
