Abstract
This thesis reports the design, development and analysis of a multipurpose smart meter (MONITER). The existing smart meter did enable the consumer to see the usage detail, however, the access is not quite easy. So, the project is to make the access easier, and at the same time, adding extra feature which is the usage for each appliance, and the data privacy. The project aims to solve this problem and can be applied in any common house unit. Therefore, in the project, a main data collector which collects usage data from selected appliance and store it in microSD card and is able to transmit the data via Wi-Fi Direct to smartphone is designed. In order to obtain the electrical usage, a measurement unit that measure usage for selected appliance and able to send the data to the main device via power-line communication is designed as well. With the Wi-Fi Direct from the main data collector, the electrical usage data can be accessed from any Wi-Fi-enabled device through any web browser by the user. The MONITER system will make the user able to identify which appliance consume more power, and which appliance consume less. Thus, the user can take appropriate step to lessen their electrical usage significantly.
