A Web-based Automatic Meter Reading for Electric Power Monitoring

Abstract

Power monitoring of electrical appliances can be an effort for energy efficiency. Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) is a technology that commonly used to automatically read the electrical parameters (current, voltage, phase, etc.), diagnostic and status from the power metering. The on-site monitoring process needs the user to visit the place where the power meter is installed thus making the process less efficient. A web-based monitoring system is proposed in this paper. By TCP/IP communication protocol, the power meter can transmit the data through internet connection making the monitoring and control process is remotely possible. To support wide range of web-enabled devices, a responsive web interface design is implemented.
