Abstract:
The increasing electricity billing cost factors had been determined where most
of the users are not aware of their total power consumption. When they are not
aware of the total power used, they will tend to waste their electricity therefore
leading to increasing of billing cost. This proposal describes about the
Development of Energy Consumption Device. In general, this device is used
to measure the power of energy consumed by the single phase AC load and
to convert it to Ringgit Malaysia. This device is low in cost, suitable for domestic
usage, and user friendly. For some applications, this device can measure the
energy used by any electrical home appliances such as television, fan, heater,
refrigerator and many more. In this project, there is liquid crystallizes display
(LCD) to display readings, buttons for the navigation of the menu. All the
buttons are labelled accordingly to the function. The plug and socket uses are
also with SIRIM approval. This device uses Arduino UNO to convert the power
consumption to the exact price. Simulation using ISIS Proteus Professional
software will be performed.
