Introduction

Introduction
Electricity in the community are almost
have been established and the way that
measures power consumption is traditional
meter reading and billing
Where is actually done by a utility worker
from one household to household and
building to building.
A house is typically one of the places
where many electronic devices are left on
standby.

Introduction

The goal of this project is to design a device

that will provide efficient power meter reading
and reduce billing error and operational costs.
This can be achieved through Automatic Meter
Reading (AMR) system or automating the
process of reading data through digital
communication techniques.
Access to a Web Based System can be gained
from any location as long as the user has
access to a web browser and an internet
connection.

Objectiv
es
of the
Study

Objectives of the Study

develop a system that records data and

compute the billing of the consumers
power consumption;
design a device that directly reads and
submits the power consumption of the
consumer to the power providers
database wirelessly;
design a device that submits the billing
information to the consumers personal
web page account;
develop a system that secures all
operations and consumers records;
evaluate the effectiveness in terms of
accuracy of the output generated by the
device.

Scope &
Limitations
of the Study

Scope
The device
will
automaticall
y read the
power
consumption
of the
consumer &
directly
sends the
data
collected to
the electric
power
providers
database.

The
database
will have an
update
every
minute and
the billing
process will
be
computed.

Billing
information
will display
to the
consumers
web page
account. The
household
consumer
has its own
web page
account.

Scope
The
household
consumer
has the
capability to
print & view
the previous
and present
billing
information
in order to
have a
personal
copy.

A secured
system is
included to
ensure that
only
authorized
person can
interact in
the system
especially
that
information
in the
database
records.

The record
system can
add, save,
update, and
delete
consumers
record,
contacts, and
other
important
data.

Limitation
s
Only one
device is
intended for
the household
consumer. The
device doesnt
have auto
disconnect and
reconnect
feature.

Payments of
bill are not
included in the
system. The
system will
only compute
the bill of the
household
consumer on
the records
from the
database.

Place and Time of the

Study

Place and Time of the

Study

The development of the design project

will be conducted at the Brgy. Poblacion,
Kabacan, Cotabato.
The evaluation of the design project will
be in the College of Engineering and
Computing, University Southern
Mindanao, Kabacan, Cotabato.
The design project will be implemented
on the second semester, school year
2015-2016.

Conceptual Framework
of the Study

Fig. 1 shows the problem, solution, and results consider in the study.
Problem

Solution

Manual Energy meter reading:

Utilize huge number of

utility worker and long
working hour to achieve
complete area data
reading and billing;
Is prone to human error
(e.g. mistake in reading
data);

Result

Systematic
recording
&
computing of power
consumption
Design and Develop
a Web-based
Household Power
Consumption
Monitoring System

Could be delayed by
bad weather condition;
Requires
high
operational costs (e.g.
transportation)

Fig.1 Conceptual framework of the study.

Billing information
can be viewed and
printed
Data collection will
not be delayed
Secures records
and operations
Accurate result of
the device

METHODOLOGY

Research Design
The study will use the descriptive
research design.
The effectiveness of the web-based
power consumption monitoring
system will be determine through
the use of data gathering tool.

Research Instrument
The research instrument that will be used is t-test
trial basis.
The data that will be collected on the device by
the researcher are going to compare between the
Electric Power Companys data using a t-test.
It underway a series of observation, correction
and validation.

Data Gathering Procedure

The data to be gathered

is the output wattage. It
will be collected on a
daily for atleast 10 days.

Statistical Treatment
The data will be analyze and interpret through the
following terms of measures.

T- Test = t
