Remote power monitoring system using micro controller

Abstract

The modern world heavily relies on electricity as a primary energy source, pivotal for sustaining our social 
infrastructure and enhancing living standards. However, the rise in electricity demand also poses challenges, notably 
in detecting and preventing power theft or unauthorized consumption. Our project, the REMOTE POWER MONITORING 
SYSTEM, addresses this issue by utilizing advanced technology. Utilizing an ESP32 microcontroller along with 
specialized sensors such as the ZMPT101B AC Voltage Sensor Module and SCT-013-030 Non-invasive AC Current 
Sensor, our system enables real-time monitoring of power parameters. These sensors provide accurate measurements 
of voltage, current, and power consumption. Through integration with the Blynk IoT platform, users can remotely 
monitor these parameters via a smartphone application. The system continuously collects data and sends it to the 
Blynk app, allowing users to track power consumption trends and detect anomalies. Moreover, our system facilitates 
centralized monitoring through a PC connected to multiple energy meters deployed across various locations. Each 
energy meter communicates wirelessly with the central PC, transmitting power data upon request. This centralized 
approach enables efficient management of energy resources and helps in identifying unauthorized usage. Overall, 
our REMOTE POWER MONITORING SYSTEM offers a comprehensive solution for tackling power theft and enhancing 
energy management, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient electricity distribution network. Our project 
aims to revolutionize power consumption monitoring through the integration of cutting-edge hardware and IoT 
technology.
