Microcontroller Based Talking Energy Meter

In current years, the electricity demand has augmented in households with the usage of different appliances. This increases a worry to many developed and developing nations with the demand in instant rise of electricity. Consumers are unconscious of energy used up by various appliances. The total amount of energy used up by various appliances is calculated by an electricity meter device. The major disadvantage of earlier old-style electricity meters are they do not give information to the consumers about how much energy is consumed. To overcome this a novel electricity meter called talking energy meter is accomplished. As consumption of the power is raising day by day there should be more attention on understanding consumption patterns. Outmoded electromechanical energy meters are now substituted by electronic meters in all types of applications such as domestic and commercial applications. In this paper, aims to design a circuit which helps the consumer in taking care of the electrical energy consumption. This system helps the users by notifying them about the billing status and unit consumption.
