A SINGLE PHASE MICROCONTROLLER BASED ENERGY METER

ABSTRACT:
Embedded system is the combination of software and hardware. Here
the software is encapsulated in the hardware. In embedded system entire hardware
is monitored and controlled by the software which is developed by the
programmer/user. This technology reduces the cost and size of the devices. It also
reduces the manual operation; finally it gives the automation products such as
Home Appliances, Security systems, Satellite, Industrial Automation and etc,
Now a days to improve the efficiency of the embedded products, people
uses some new technologies, like RTOS (Real Time Operating System which gives
deterministic and multitasking facilities), PROTOCOLs (such as I2C, SPI, CAN,
LIN and TCP/IP which increase the speed of the process).
In this project one can monitor and control the device from power
failure tragedy. Here the each phase is monitored by the controller where the
requirement of the power for that device is not satisfied then that device is
automatically switched OFF, and that device is automatically turned ON when the
required power is available.

DISCRIPTION:
In our project “A SINGLE PHASE
MICROCONTROLLER BASED ENERGY METER” Microcontroller
plays a vital role to control and safeguard the system. It monitors the voltage
availability in each phase. According to the requirement of the phase needed for
each device, it ON/OFF voltage given to that device by means of relay unit.
Embedded controller receives the information about phase status
from energy meter. If we get three phase means three phase appliances will be
work properly otherwise it will get damage. In order to overcome this problem we
can use this project to save our appliances. Here the Embedded controller monitor
the phase status .If the embedded controller receives two or one phase means while
particular home appliances will be OFF automatically such as Air collar,
refrigirator, PC and etc., due to this we can prevent our home appliances. When the
Embedded controller gets three phase properly while it ON the home appliances
which is in OFF due to insufficient power.
