Development of smart energy meter in LabVIEW for power distribution systems

In this paper a smart energy meter is developed for domestic/industrial consumer. The proposed smart energy meter is developed in LabVIEW. The developed prototype accounts electricity consumption in multi-tariff structure, computes power quality measures, generates monthly electricity bill for the consumer along with incentives provided and penalties levied for power quality measures accordingly and establishes communication between the consumer and utility. The developed prototype is experimentally verified for sample input voltage and current waveforms.
