Abstract

The Smart Energy Meter System Using Mobile App is an advanced energy monitoring and management system designed to measure electricity consumption accurately and provide real-time information to users through a mobile application. The main objective of this project is to help consumers monitor their energy usage, reduce electricity wastage, and promote efficient energy management. The system consists of a smart energy meter integrated with a microcontroller, current and voltage sensors, and a wireless communication module. The energy consumption data collected by the meter is transmitted to a mobile application through the Internet. Users can view real-time energy usage, electricity cost, historical consumption records, and receive alerts for excessive power consumption. The mobile application provides a user-friendly interface for monitoring and controlling energy usage from anywhere. The proposed system improves transparency in electricity consumption and encourages users to adopt energy-saving practices. It also reduces the need for manual meter reading and enables efficient energy management for residential and commercial applications. The Hybrid Solar Smart Switching System is an intelligent energy management solution developed to optimize the utilization of solar energy while ensuring a continuous and reliable power supply. With the increasing demand for electricity and the growing need for sustainable energy resources, the system aims to reduce dependency on conventional grid electricity, lower energy costs, and promote the effective use of renewable energy. The primary objective of this project is to automatically manage and switch between available power sources based on real-time operating conditions, thereby improving energy efficiency and ensuring uninterrupted operation of connected electrical loads. The proposed system integrates multiple modern technologies, including solar photovoltaic (PV) energy generation, battery energy storage, embedded systems, Internet of Things (IoT), automation, and intelligent control mechanisms. Solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy, which is utilized to power electrical loads and charge a backup battery system. An ESP32/Arduino microcontroller serves as the central processing unit of the system and continuously monitors various parameters such as solar panel output voltage, battery charge level, load demand, and grid power availability through connected sensors. Based on the collected data, the controller makes intelligent decisions and operates relay modules to switch automatically between solar power and grid electricity.
