WIRELESS SMART ENERGY METER

Abstract

Electricity transmission, distribution, and billing via wireless automation have reached maturity. The energy information of consumers cannot be easily retrieved using traditional metering techniques. Time, resource, and labour billing are the most common method of strength billing. This project allows that the design and implementation of a GSM based operation of an energy meter, which provides the solution for auto billing and labour discounts in power distribution and control. The problem is when customer tries to skip meter devices, thereby paying much less than what is truly consumed or the case of overbilling by the power company as is the case in many homes. This challenge aims to simplify the size of power usage and its associated billing system. The methods and materials used here employ a microcontroller unit which typically monitors the meter and interfaced with a GSM MODEM with SEM for remote operation. The idea of serial communication working with embedded structures is the strategy used to complete this aim. The meter displays relevant billing data on LCD screen, and the data that is shown to you in your meter is sent straight to your electric billing company. In other words, the billing company representative who always came to read your meter at the end of each month won't be coming. Instead, the work will be done efficiently through GSM, and the electric company will deliver a physical copy of your bill to your door.
