The Problem and Its Setting
1.1 Background of the Study

As predicted, the Philippines are heading into a summer power crisis. One peculiarity of
the widespread use of English in the Philippines is the mismatch between seasonal names and the
months of the year. The Philippine term for this period is literally time of heat but among English
speakers this is summer, rather to the bemusement of Americans who associate that term with
June through August. Energy crisis is a major problem being faced by the government,
researchers and Engineers in the Philippines and other countries in the world. Since it is a
necessity to human and animals, we cannot ignore this issue as it will massively affect the lives,
operations on daily basis and life supports of all the living things in an area particularly in the
Philippines. Introducing a new kind of renewable energy resources would serve as a big hand not
only to make peoples lives easier but also to mold the situation of the future in all terms:
Technological, agriculture, industrial operations, scientific knowledge or information and any
other aspects that may relate.
The main response to the predicted shortages has been the Interruptible Load Program
(ILP). This enrolls large establishments who have their own generators (shopping malls, office
buildings, factories) to voluntarily interrupt their power from the main grid and start running

their generators when a shortage is predicted. The concept is that if an outage occurred they
would have to do so anyway, so it is more socially and economically beneficial to do this in a
planned fashion. Though the details of compensation its source and amount have not been
finalized, many firms have signed up. Some private sector economists feel this will be sufficient.
Others are not so sanguine, including the governments Department of Energy. Thus, last year,
the administration of President Noynoy Aquino requested a joint congressional resolution
granting him emergency powers for a limited time period to fast-track contracts for new power
generation. The proposal was controversial naturally the political opposition was suspicious of
increased presidential powers; some felt that since the ILP was in place it was not necessary, and
others recalled the Ramos example as yielding high-priced power. [S. Rood, 2015, J. Prsha,
2011]
The Philippines high electricity rates have not only hurt ordinary consumers, but have
also served as among the biggest barriers against investments in the country. Analysts say that
what the Philippines needs the most is not more privatization and economic liberalization which
have actually exacerbated rather than ameliorated the country's structural economic weaknesses
since the 1990s. What the country needs is a stronger state that (a) can bust oligarchic collusion,
and (b) protect the interest of the consumers and productive sectors of the economy.
This feeds into the discourse about a power shortage of another kind the allegedly
waning power of President Aquino. Last year there were controversies about pork barrel funding
through legislative-executive collaboration, and a flexible executive budgetary process
(the Disbursement Acceleration Program), both of which were declared unconstitutional by the

Supreme Court. Many warned that without these political tools the presidents influence over the
legislative. [S. Rood, 2015, J. Prsha, 2011]
What we see today in the Philippines is more a country that has come to confront its
internal demons than an emerging market firmly placed on an inexorable tiger road. Nothing
underscores this complex picture more than the latest uproar over an alleged collusion among
power-generating companies to introduce a further hike in electricity prices. To put things into
perspective, the Philippines already has Asia's most expensive electricity rates, even higher than
post-Fukushima Japan. Such prohibitive rates have not only hurt ordinary consumers, but have
also served as among the strongest disincentives against manufacturing investments in the
country. [R. J. Heydarian, 2014]
But there is a deeper lesson to draw from the Philippines' power-generation predicament.
Contrary to the conventional analysis forwarded by most analysts, including Karen Brooks, what
the Philippines needs the most is not more privatization and economic liberalization per se -which have actually exacerbated rather than ameliorated the country's structural economic
weaknesses since the 1990s -- but instead a stronger state that (a) can bust oligarchic collusion,
and (b) protect the interest of the consumers and productive sectors of the economy. And we
won't have a dramatic turnabout in the Philippines' economic fortunes unless the Aquino
administration and its successors fully internalize the indispensable role of the state, which
ranges from ensuring the rule of law to protecting strategic sectors of the economy against
special interest, even in an era of economic globalization. [R. J. Heydarian, 2014]

The Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM), on the other hand, which commenced
its Visayas WESM in early 2011. By October 2012, the integrated WESM had a total of 124
participants comprised of 54 generating companies and 47 customer trading participants
comprised of six Private Distribution Utilities (PDUs), 26 Electric Cooperatives (ECs), 13 bulk
end-users and seven wholesale aggregators. Approximately 2,636GWH, translating to 9.2
percent of the total energy consumed in the Luzon and Visayas regions, were traded in the
WESM from October 2011 to April 2012, while the remaining 90.8 percent of the total volume
was transacted and settled outside the market. [R. G. Manabat, 2013-2014]
Our shortage of electricity is a real, serious problem that we cannot downplay. But if we
focus exclusively on it, we run the risk of seeing just the trees and not the forest. That was what
then energy undersecretary Rufino Bomasang told participants of a media briefing on business
and economics reporting convened by the Press Foundation of Asia at Los Baos, Laguna almost
two decades ago. Today, the scenario has not changed. In an article which appeared in Business
Mirror, Adam Jones wrote: As it stands, the (Philippines) relies heavily on outside sources of
energy, which account for roughly 65 percent of its energy needs. However, despite slowing
industrial demand for power, some industry insiders still believe the country could face a power
shortage of 3000 megawatts by 2012. Speaking in London in June 1997, then British
environment minister Michael Meacher said: Energy policies should be designed to promote
cleaner, more efficient energy use and production. We want a new and strong drive to develop
renewable energy sources. Doing so will create jobs, win exports and protect the environment.

Jones agrees. As the Philippines continue to pursue a path of global competitiveness, it is
becoming evident that securing an adequate energy supply will be ever more critical to its
growing industries. Harnessing renewable energy will surely play a larger role in the years to
come. The practice of converting resources into electrical energy arose for many reasons. In
some cases, it was not possible to make effective use of certain energy sources except by
converting them to electricity.[ J. V. Capuno, 2011]
As for our project, the load power control, it can manipulate the on and off system of
each appliances that are connected to the device via text message using GSM module. This
project can help out in terms of power saving or power consumption because it limits the
allowable power to distribute in every load, it also make sure that no load will overheat. Occur
because all of the load that are connected to device can virtually control and tend to shut down
once it detects overload s and high power consumption than the allowable power to use. The user
can send message to the device according to its code and the device connected on a particular
outlet to turn on or off. On the other hand the device can also send message to the user to inform
that the power consumption is high.

1.2 Introduction
Why do we use alternating current (AC) power? Why dont power companies just distribute
direct current (DC) power, since the first thing we normally do with modern appliances is
convert the AC to DC? The answer to those questions dates back to Thomas Edisons efforts to
promote his incandescent lamp and electrify New York.
Edisons generators produced DC power, which worked fine for local distribution, but required
either very large cables to supply loads more than a few blocks away, or a power station every
few blocks. This is because, at voltages practical for end use, large currents were required to
electrify more than just a small area. Enter Nikola Tesla, backed by George Westinghouse, who
promoted high-voltage AC transmission lines with a low voltage substation every few blocks for
local distribution. The important difference was the substation only required a transformer, while
the DC solution required a complete steam-powered power plant. [J. V. Capuno, 2011]
Ultimately, Westinghouse settled the war that ensued when he built a hydroelectric plant
at Niagra Falls that was able to supply loads hundreds of miles away. However, in the few
extremely long, point-to-point transmission lines, the balance tips back toward very high voltage
DC transmission lines (e.g., the power line from Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State to Los
Angeles).

AC power enabled many other inventions key to industrialization, from the induction motor and
gas discharge lamp ballasts to light dimmers and electric shavers. But part of the dark side of AC
power is this notion of power factor. The voltage for DC power is constant, so there is no phase
associated with it; AC power is (ideally) sinusoidal, with the voltage and current crossing 0 V at
120 times a second (twice per 60 Hz cycle). If the load (or even the power line) is slightly
inductive or capacitive, the current will either lag or lead the voltage.[S. Rood, 2015, J. Prsha,
2011]
Power electronics is the technology of processing and controlling the flow of electric
power by modifying and supplying the voltage and current in a form that is best suitable to the
customer at the load end. Power electronics is more concerned with the electronics principles
in the situations that are related at a power level than at the signal level. This area of
electronics originated from the silicon-controlled Rectifier Evolution in 1956 by Bell Laboratory.
SCR technology led the breakthrough in power-handling capability of electronic devices by
making minor changes in the structure of signal electronics devices. This led to highperformance semiconductor devices with better voltage and current-handling capability which
are currently used in different applications such as in blowers, fans, AC, battery chargers,
refrigerators, dryers, HVDC transmissions, pf correction with static compensators, static circuit
breakers, relays, UPS, etc. Power electronics amalgamates three major areas of electrical
engineering: power, electronics, and control. [S. Rood, 2015, J. Prsha, 2011]

The power source to the PE system may be a DC or AC supply, depending upon the application
or condition of that location. The output of the PE system may be a variable AC or DC voltage or
may be a variable voltage and frequency. Thus, the power needs to be processed in between the
source and load. This is done with the help of a converter.
A failure in the converter affects the users, and the loss in the converter is the loss in the overall
system. A converter must be reliable and must be made of components having a negligible loss
such as semiconductor switches. The feedback component measures the parameters of the load
and compares it with a command signal. The difference of the two serves as a basis for the turnon and turn-off commands of the power electronics device. [S. Rood, 2015, J. Prsha, 2011]
Monitoring the load on the motor that is driving a machine or process can give you
valuable information since this motor reflects the changes that are going on. On a mixer or
agitator, for example, as the viscosity increases, it will take more power to stir the mixture and
when it thins the load goes down. When cutting metal, as a tool gets dull, it takes more power to
make the cut. And, when a pump runs dry, the load drops off sharply.
The purpose of this paper is to explore the conceptual requirements and opportunities to
develop load control schemes that are competitive with conventional generation based
approaches to providing power system control services. In principle, practically any measure that

can be taken by generating units (i.e., the supply side) to ensure that electricity generation and
load are equal has an equivalent countermeasure that can be taken by loads (the demand side).
The primary characteristic of load control that distinguishes it from conventional generationbased approaches is that it must deliver a reliable resource to the power system while
simultaneously maintaining a level of service commensurate with customer expectations. These
two objectives are often in competition, and one of the greatest technical challenges to the
competitiveness of engaging loads in power system services is to develop approaches that
balance these objectives. In order to balance systemic and local control objectives, we believe
load control schemes must meet the dual goals of being both fully responsive and non-disruptive.
In this context, we define fully responsive as enabling high-resolution system-level control
across multiple time scales. This is desirable for load control competitiveness because
conventional generation based approaches is they fully responsive. Furthermore, we define nondisruptive control as having an imperceptible effect on end-use performance [such as building
temperature, lighting levels, pump speeds, and electric vehicle state of charge (SoC)]. No
disruptiveness underpins the reliability and cost of providing load control: strategies that are
disruptive run the risk of frustrating customers to the point where they withdraw from the
program or demand higher payments to participate. Though we will discuss price response in this
paper, we will focus on direct load control and how organizations such as distribution utilities or
third-party companies might aggregate loads to achieve a desired response, possibly for
integration into electricity markets. [A. Hiskens]

1.3 Conceptual Framework
This study presents an innovated Wireless Load power Control Device using GSM
module. The device is consists of PIC16f877a, GSM Module, relay circuit, current transformer
and LCD. PIC16f877a is used as a microcontroller to process the received data from the power
reading circuit, so that the user can decide whether to limit the load or not by sending a text
message to the GSM module attach in the device and then the output signal is sent for on/off
relay switch. The users can check out the meter reading in two ways, either on the LCD screen in
the device or through sms feedback from the GSM module. The device can control three loads
and the current status of each load is displayed on the LCD.

1.4 Theoretical Framework
1. A framework for load control in 3rd generation CDMA networks

- In this paper we present a theoretical framework for load control in thirdgeneration CDMA systems and discuss its application with a few examples.
Starting with the general transmission model we derive a unified description of
resource consumption and system load for the uplink and for the downlink. The
basic resources in a CDMA system are the total received power in the uplink and
the total transmitted power in the downlink. It turns out that very similar relations
can be found for the uplink and for the downlink. In addition to the well-known
formulation of the uplink noise rise we introduce the novel concept of downlink
power rise to define the system load in the downlink. The impacts of intrinsic
system attributes such as loss of orthogonality in the downlink and variable data
rate transmission are studied. Moreover, it is shown how the load control theory
can be applied to admission control, random access control and dynamic
scheduling the UMTS. [P.E. Battaiotto, F. Valenciaga, IEEE Transactions on
Energy Conversion . 01/2004]

2. Power Control of a Solar/Wind Generation System without Wind Measurement:

Passivity/Sliding Mode Approach
- This paper deals with the control of the output power of a solar/wind stand-alone
system. The control system regulates the generation of the wind subsystem in
order to satisfy, jointly with the photovoltaic generation subsystem, the load and
battery charge power demand. The controller is designed using a theoretical
framework that unifies passivity and sliding mode techniques. The resultant
control law does not need wind measurement and only relies on rotational speed
and current measurements. An analysis of the acceleration estimate error is carried
out and a countermeasure to compensate its effects is proposed. Finally, the
performance of the controller is assessed through computer simulation, using a
comprehensive nonlinear model of the plant. [P.E. Battaiotto, F. Valenciaga, IEEE
Transactions on Energy Conversion . 01/2004]
3. Achieving Controllability of Electric Loads

- This paper discusses theoretical frameworks for actively involving highly
distributed loads in power system control actions. The context for load control is
established by providing an overview of system control objectives, including
economic dispatch, automatic generation control, and spinning reserve. The paper

then reviews existing initiatives that seek to develop load control programs for the
provision of power system services. We then discuss some of the challenges to
achieving a load control scheme that balances device-level objectives with power
system-level objectives. One of the central premises of the paper is that, in order
to achieve full responsiveness, direct load control (as opposed to price response)
is required to enable fast time scale, predictable control opportunities, especially
for the provision of ancillary services such as regulation and contingency
reserves. Centralized, hierarchical, and distributed control architectures are
discussed along with benefits and disadvantages, especially in relation to
integration with the legacy power system control architecture. Implications for the
supporting communications infrastructure are also considered. Fully responsive
load control is illustrated in the context of thermostatically. [Lucent Technol. Bell
Labs., Nuremberg]
4. Reactive Power Control and Voltage Stability Methods in Power System Network
- The intent of this paper is to present an analysis of reactive power control and
voltage stability in power systems. It identifies a new model used to enhance
voltage stability and exposes several key issues that had remained as research
challenges in this area. The steady state voltage and reactive power control in
distribution systems can be properly controlled by coordinating the available
voltage and reactive power control equipment, such as on-load tap-changers,

substation shunt capacitors and feeder shunt capacitors. It began with an overview
of reactive power and voltage stability in transmission, distribution and load, and
the importance of providing reactive power locally. The description of selected
control features of shunt power systems such as SVC (Static Var Compensator)
static compensators of reactive power, STATCOM-type systems (Static
Compensator), static reactive power generators and systems that combine both
these solutions, which are referred to as SVC based on STATCOM were not left
out. It explains the need to improve the voltage stability of Power system, as well
as the increasing requirements for energy quality and security. It also discusses the
techniques that were adopted in controlling and monitoring of the rate of power
flow in the entire power system topology. This investigates the system to an
optimal level in order to reduce losses and ensures sufficiency of reactive power
control during normal and emergency conditions and to prevent voltage collapse.

5. Distorted and Unbalanced Systems Compensation within Instantaneous Reactive

Power Framework.
- Theory has been widely used to control active power filters since its formulation
in 1983. The compensation strategy used by the theory has not suffered
modification; so it used the constant power compensation strategy. In this way, the
supply instantaneous power after compensation is constant. This kind of

compensation strategy presents good results in the case of balanced and sinusoidal
voltages; however, it is not appropriate in the case of unbalanced or nonsinusoidal voltages. This paper extends the theory to get control strategies which
allow attacking the unity power factor compensation. [ Lucent Technol. Bell
Labs., Nuremberg]

commands and then communicate the status of a given appliances or device back to the cellular
phone.
1.7 Significance of the Study

Everything today is almost wirelessly controlled started from television via infrared
remote controller, speakers, air conditioners, and so many more. Even though it is controlled in
short range only, it plays very important role on our industry and society. The reason why this
study is vital can be explained in some aspects.
First, the findings of this research will rebound to the benefit of the society especially for
the parents usually away from their houses and live their children freely operating their home
appliances. This can operate everywhere you are as long as you have your cellular phone. Even
when you are working away from your home, everything plug unto this device can be control by
the users which can prevent over usage that can cause fire and ends one life.

emissions, and also to reduce air pollution. This device has a technology that can monitor power

consumption of anything plug unto it and limits its consumption, for that it will help to save
energy.
Lastly, this study will help find much innovated load power control device, and to make
our student think and explore their mind by the help of the concept of this study.

Review A Related Concept
2.1 Foreign Literature

According in [S. Ouitrakul, S. Watanasophon] the paper presents Wireless Load Control Device
(WLCD) using GSM module. The WLCD consists of PIC18F4550, GSM Module, relay circuit,
keypad, and LCD. PIC18F4550 is used as a microcontroller to process the received data and then
the output signal is sent for on/off relay switch. The users can on/off load in two ways, either
keypad or short message service (SMS). The WLCD can control three loads and the current
status of each load is displayed on the LCD. A working prototype of WLCD was built to
demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of on/off load control through the GSM network.
In [R. G. Sarangle, U. P. Khot, J. Modi] the present system of energy billing is error prone and
also time and labor consuming. Errors get introduced at every stage of energy billing like errors
with electro-mechanical meters, human errors while noting down the meter reading, and errors
while processing the paid bills and the due bills. The home appliances which consume more
power cause an increase in the payment of excessive bills. The remedy for all these problems
GPMC (GSM based power meter and control system) is developed which consist of the
integration of a single phase Class 1, IEC61036, standard compliance digital kWh power meter.
It will keep track of the meter reading of each day and the reading with the user identification

number send it to the user as well as to the electricity department and Electricity e-Billing system
associated with electricity department will keep the track of each SMS meter reading and the
appropriate bill get generated at the last day of the month and the bill is forwarded to user from
the server. So there is no chance of confusion to the user for paying the bill. The GPMC also
feature distribution control system which controls the power of the appliances remotely.
In [T. Ismail , D. karki , Z. Mollick , S. D. , M. Deka] the remote power distribution system using
GSM aims to design and implement efficient and cost effective solution for replacing the manual
process of power cut/load shedding from a centralized location. It consists of two GSM modems,
one at the control station and the other one connected to the transformer from where the
electricity is divided into certain branches in an area. Here the control station modem utilizes
GSM network to turn a branch line of a transformer either on/off. It also consists of a LCD
display which displays the state of the channel/branches of the transformer as either on/off. In
case of network failure, a set of manual switches are also there to turn on/off the channels
manually. Electromagnetic relays are used as circuit breakers.
In [A. A. Uddin, K. M. Shahriar, A. Mohammed, R. M. Mahbubur] the application of computer

interfaced controlling devices increasingly rapidly in modem age. Analogous wired systems are
substituted by computer interfaced system alternatives in growing number of industries. Such
control systems had been developed with complex and critical high-end stuffs. In this paper, we
developed an automated system that controls the switching of electric feeder power supply

featuring the existing GSM technology. The target is to operate the device according to a preset
sequence of on-off mode for three feeders after a particular time interval and to monitor the
running condition. The device sends short message updating the status of every action. It also
warms the consumers about load shedding using GSM module via sending message. Controlling
the gate pulse of a MOSFET that operates the relay, it executes on-off operation of the circuit
breaker of the respective feeders. Since GSM technology is used worldwide for communication,
third world countries that are still struggling to meet the power demand can use this technology
to operate and monitor the condition of power distribution. To operate the GSM device, AT
command of GSM location operation for SIM900 is used. This paper targets to improve the
power distributing system in developing countries like India, Bangladesh, Nepal where power
crisis load shedding quite a common phenomenon.
In [S. Sukhumar, P. M. Aravind, L. Manivannan , P. N. Kumar and N. Su. Vanitha] this paper
presents the development of Automatic Trip Control System for Energy Management using
GSM. The proposed system monitors the usage level of electricity of every consumer at all the
time. During excess of electrical energy used by consumer, the system will give the alerts
through an alarm circuit. After the alarm circuit, the consumer has to take an alternative solution
to cut-off excess supply from the Electricity Board (EB) to stop alarming. Otherwise, the circuit
breaker will come into OFF position and the supply will be tripping-off coming from EB. The
information about the particular consumer will be sent to EB through GSM (Global System for
Mobile Communication Network).Then, the consumer has to give the requisition to EB for
making the circuit breaker coming into normal with the help of PIC microcontroller, which is

programmed to monitor the parameters of electrical energy. This system helps for illegal usage of
electricity, monitoring the energy, maintaining data on tariff etc. The implementation and
demonstration of the system were made.
In [M. Sarsamba ,P. Sangulagi, R. Yanamshetty] the load monitoring and protection on electrical
power lines are important factors in Electricity Field. The Paper proposes a monitoring of Load
and Power lines using SMS based GSM Technology. The Proposed methodology is designed and
implemented using mobile embedded system to monitor and record load fluctuations with
respect to current and voltage in electric power lines and it also controls the same when line
breaks during high load. The proposed on-line monitoring system integrates a Global Service
Mobile (GSM) Modem; withstand along single chip microcontroller and sensor packages. It is
installed at the site and above mentioned parameter are recorded using -in -8-channel analog to
digital convert (ADC) of the embedded system .The acquired parameters are processed and
recorded in the system memory. If there is any abnormality according to some predefined
instruction and policies that are stored on the embedded system EEPROM then GSM alerts to
concerned control room immediately. This mobile system will help the utilities to optimally
utilize the protection of power line and identify problems before any catastrophic failure. This
system provides flexible control of load parameters accurately and also provides effective means
for rectification of faults if any abnormality occurs in power lines using SMS through GSM
network.

In [A. Sachan] this project is also designed to protect the electrical circuitry by operating an
Electromagnetic Relay. This Relay gets activated whenever the electrical parameters exceed the
predefined values. The Relay can be used to operate a Circuit Breaker to switch off the main
electrical supply. User can send commands in the form of SMS messages to read the remote
electrical parameters. This system also can automatically send the real time electrical parameters
periodically (based on time settings) in the form of SMS. This system can be designed to send
SMS alerts whenever the Circuit Breaker trips or whenever the Voltage or Current exceeds the
predefined limits. This project makes use of an onboard computer which is commonly termed as
microcontroller. This onboard computer can efficiently communicate with the different sensors
being used. The controller is provided with some internal memory to hold the code. This memory
is used to dump some set of assembly instructions into the controller. And the functioning of the
controller is dependent on these assembly instructions. The controller is programmed using
Embedded C language.
In [K. P. Satheyamoorthy Dean] the Modern world intelligent control is adopted in every field,
although the service provider for energy are still uses the conventional methods for getting the
energy consumed by the customer. The conventional method is very time consuming and
expensive which may also lead to human error. Our proposed method will automatically send the
data of the digital energy meter to the service provider with the help of the GSM modem once in
a day and hence the system will generate a report and send to the service provider once in a day
through SMS. The same system can be used to check the last reading consumed by the consumer,
when the demand request send by the user through the same methodology. It can also be used to

control the load from both the ends with the help of relay circuit. An LCD display is provided to
display the readings and to update the consumers informations such as tariff change or sudden
power cut.
In [H. S. Praveenkumar, B. S. Rakesh, P. S. Preetha] Electrical energy is very important form of

energy source in present day to day life. It should be used very practical expediency for its
proper utilization. But in India we have lot of position where we have a more than necessary of
production of supply for the electricity; still many areas do not have the electrical supply for
utilization. Distribution of electrical energy are also responsible for encouragement of utilization
because we are still not able to correctly estimate our exact requirements of load by consumers
and still power theft existing at a particular time. Consumers are also not satisfied with the
service providing by the power companies. Most of Consumers have complaints regarding
Energy meter errors in their monthly bills. Energy theft is a major problem for the Electricity
board, by this Technology implementation the energy Theft completely eliminated. Through
GSM metering we can get the Energy consumed every weekly. The purpose of this project is to
Remote Network Monitoring and control of the Energy meter. The Electricity Department has
the authority to read the meter readings whenever they need without a human being visiting each
and every house. This type of energy meter reading is done by the microcontroller unit; the micro
controller continuously monitors and records the Energy Meter readings in its non-volatile
memory location in the micro controller unit. In this Project we are using of a GSM modem for
remote monitoring and control of Energy Meter by sending a SMS to the unit.

In [M. Rangwala, I. Bhabay, V. S. Sharma] these days the electricity department has to send
employees for taking meter reading every month, which is an expensive and time consuming job.
This project provides a convenient and efficient method to avoid this problem. The electricity
office can take the readings of consumers using GSM at their place. The desired number is auto
saved on the microcontroller over a missed call. The main objective of the project is to develop a
wireless based energy meter reading system. Also the loads can be controlled GSM using this
project. The microcontroller takes the reading from the energy meter and displays the reading on
the LCD. The reading of the energy meter is also sent to the control room by a message via GSM
modem. This GSM modem also receives commands from any cell phone to control the electrical
loads.
It
uses
standard
energy
meter
that
delivers
output pulses for microcontroller to do counting for necessary action. On receiving command it
can even switch ON/OFF the load. The power supply consists of a step down transformer
230/12V, which steps down the voltage to 12V AC. This is converted to DC using a Bridge
rectifier. The ripples are removed using a capacitive filter and it is then regulated to +5V using a
voltage regulator 7805 which is required for the operation of the microcontroller and other
components.
2.2 Local Literature

According to [http://meijielectric.ph/transformers/] the Business Dictionary, a transformer is a
device that converts an alternating (A/C) current of a certain voltage to an alternating current of
different voltage, without change of frequency, by electromagnetic induction. A step up
transformer receives a low voltage and converts into a higher voltage, and a step down
transformer does just the reverse.
Transformers allow you to use your 110V of appliance and 220V-240V.
The highest power of transformer 50w-750w with plastic handles. Also, it has a fuse as a
protective device for over voltage. This will be the initial warning as it blows to inform you or
the user that the ampere rating being used is more than the allowable. It also protects your
appliance against short circuits and other dangerous faults to avoid accidents like fire. We also
have a convenient switch for easier turn-on and shut-off without the need of pulling the plug
from your wall outlet.
In [R. N. Dita, P. P. C. Martinez , C. A. S Miranda] this study aims to develop an automatic water
meter reading system that will enhance the Analog water meter data collection by utilizing
wireless technology using GSM module system for data transmission to increase the range of
data transmission. It consists of the hardware and the software design. The hardware involves the
analog meter, the GSM module, the differential pressure sensor, and a desktop or a laptop. While
the software is developed in order to receive and to store data transmitted from the GSM module
into the database and output graphically. T-test will be used to conduct and to verify if the
readings from the design are comparable to the actual volume measured from the analog meter.

In [A. C. Lagula, M. Latina, A. Te, Charmaine] Home monitoring system is an effective way to
prevent many household accidents that may occur whether we are aware or not. There are a lot of
home control devices which were developed in the past. Take fire hazards for example, there are
a lot of ways for house fire to occur like over heating appliances. Fire imposes a big hazard in
our homes but there is a device that was built to lessen the probability of this from occurring or
at least lessen the damage done. The fire alarm works whenever there is enough smoke that goes
in the detector. It will automatically make a sound to alarm the people inside the house, some
home systems has a built-in sprinklers that works when the fire alarm activates preventing
further property destruction. There are a lot of ways of designing a home control system but at
these times, the design must be adaptable and adaptive to majority of people. Global System for
Mobile Communication (GSM) is a means of wireless communication between people. It can
also be used to communicate with devices such that it functions even if a user is not physically
present in the vicinity of the device. GSM is the most adaptable medium since it has a further
range of communication compared to Bluetooth and infrared. Moreover, it is also more
accessible than Wi-Fi since it is more widely available. A home monitoring system interfaced
with GSM poses a great advantage and convenience to the public. The user can be updated
regarding the status (ON or OFF) of his appliances which can prevent future damage. It will also
be able to alarm the user of any irregular activities of the appliances immediately even if the user
is at another place.
