3. INTRODUCTION
Smart Metering is not a new concept in the scientific community today.
Meters capable of automatic reading and bidirectional communication have been present for over a decade now.
However, with recent growth in Renewable Energy sector, and a growing demand for real-time complex data (IoT) requires meters today to be even smarter.
Hardware-based metering limits capability and customizability, at an ever increasing cost.
This creates the need for a unified software-based solution that integrates all needs of a modern power metering system.

4. Conventional System

5. Objective
’’ We aim to establish an infrastructure which will integrate all of today’s metering needs in a single software-based solution, while still being commercially feasible.”

6. Proposed Solution Proposed Solution
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) provides:
Bi-directional Metering
Power Quality Analysis (PQA)
Bi-directional Communication through PLCC
Anti-theft
Remote Control
Cloud Database

9. COMPONENTS DAQ USB 6009 Card Intel Stick w5 pro CT-SCT 013
Step Down Transformer
PLCC Module Kq330
5-inch touch display

10. Ct-sct 013
Current transformers (CTs) are sensors that are used for measuring alternating current. The CT will measure the level of current and feed the data to the controller.
Input Current: 0~100A AC
Output Mode: 0~50mA
Non-linearity: ±3%
Turn Ratio: 100A:0.05A
Resistance Grade: Grade B
Work Temp: -25℃ ~ 70℃
Leading Wire in Length: 1m
Open Size: 13mm x 13mm

11. Step down transformer 220v-9v
A step down transformer is needed to convert 220V from the supply to 9V as required by the DAQ.

12. DAQ usb 6009
card
DAQ is used for data acquisition. Data is acquired and fed to LabView for power calculation and processing.
USB‑6009 is a low-cost, multifunction DAQ device.
8 analog inputs (14-bit, 48 kS/s)
2 analog outputs (12-bit, 150 S/s)
12 digital I/O
32-bit counter
Bus-powered design for convenience; 34-pin connector for easy integration

13. Intel Stick w5 pro
The Intel Stick W5 Pro is a complete PC available in a compact, inexpensive package. It contains the LabView program and processes data from the DAQ card connected to it.

14. PLCC module
Kq330
The PLC can transmit data via power line. The module is used for:
Bi-directional communication
Detecting faults and tampering in the communication line.
NC/RST
MODE TX RX
5.5V
GND
7.5 – 12V
AC-P
AC-N

15. 5-inch touch display
All of the data and output will be available on a 5 inch LCD module display.

Labview
OVERVIEW
Current Smart meters don’t have integrated support for
Power Quality Analysis (PQA).
National Instruments Power Quality Analyzer costs over
1,000 USD.
There is a built-in power quality analysis function in LabView.

Power Quality Analyzer
Results
Accurate Power Quality results can be obtained in LabView.

21. Power Line Carrier Communication
PLCC is deployed using a KQ-330 module. It utilizes Frequency Shift Key Modulation. It is a half-duplex link, allowing bidirectional communication, but not simultaneously.

22. Anti-Theft
PLCC detects signal interruption to find power theft. Every data packet on the power line has a signature, which is corrupted in event of line tampering. Hence line theft can be easily localized.

23. IoT database
All the data is sent from the meter to the Utility Provider, and then stored in a cloud database. This allows individual consumers to monitor and improve their power usage patterns, and limit peak usage and overall usage.

24. Difference in Methodology Data Capturing Transmission
Labview instead of metering IC
PLCC instead of GPRS/GSM
