Abstract
India is currently experiencing a large-scale electricity crisis. This project introduces an active and reactive power monitoring system based on a Wi-Fi module. Energy data gathering systems are becoming an important aspect of research and development. If any consumers are consuming reactive power, their energy usage behaviour can be easily identified, and their bills can be decreased. This paper describes a Wi-Fi-based smart energy meter method for reducing electricity theft and determining reactive power usage in the absence of a customer by connecting a smart energy meter in the office. There are numerous approaches for putting together energy detail usage. The project's main purpose is to begin reducing reactive power consumption by IOT base, microcontroller, and LDR sensors. Single phase induction motors consume reactive power and have a current transformer (CT) that creates a large amount of current. This data, sensor data, is fed into the microcontroller, which then sends it to the Wi-Fi module to let the user know how much power they are using. Finally, on the LCD, display all energy statistics, unit utilization, reactive power, and penalty factor (power factor).
