Abstract

A digital energy meter was developed at UPLB and tested at Meter Division of Energy Regulatory Commission (FRC). the meter was hosed on Al)E7756 meter IC and AT90S8515 microcontroller the meter displays kilowatt hour on the with a precision of three decimal places. The average accuracy of the meter based from measurements in different load condition was measured to be 95.55%. A powerline modem was also developed and implemented. The frequencies used in the powerline modem were 112 kHz and 125 kit/. These values were selected so that the modem follows the regulations for powerline communication applications. A communication protocol based on Scale able Node Address Protocol (SNAP) was programmed. It is necessary to assure that the data transmitted over the powerline is correct. Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system originated from other countries and is slightly introduced in the Philippines. This study provides a good start and a good reference of building an AMR system in the Philippines.
