Design and Implementation of AMI System of Electric and Water Meter

Abstract:

The energy demand is increasing worldwide. This event is due to population growth and industrial development. That is why having a more precise idea of energy consumption improves its efficiency, thus reducing system failures, as well as excessive and unnecessary expenses. At present, there are major developments in smart meter technology, both electrical and water. This article presents a proposal for an AMI system comprised of an intelligent meter that measures electricity and water consumption and transmits this data to ThingSpeak, a free IoT platform, for real-time monitoring and diagnosis by end-users via Ethernet communication. In addition, it offers notifications when the signal obtained is outside a previously specified range. The results obtained during the tests of both smart meters were good, with errors of <2% in each of the sensors. Similarly, the graphical interface is easy to use, with illustrations of the most important variables for users.
