2015 International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Information Communication Technology (ICEEICT), 2015

Every management system is trying to make automatic, portable and remote control. This work presents a novel smart energy meter for an automatic and superior metering and billing system. The integration of the Arduino and GSM Short Message Service (SMS) provide the meter reading system with some automatic functions that are predefined. Firstly, we have simulated the project in PROTEUS 8.0 then successfully implemented on the circuit board in laboratory. The proposed energy meter system can incorporate with embedded controller and GSM modem to transmit the data like consumed energy in kWh, generated bill, security services (line Cut/On) over GSM mobile network such as data can be then fed and integrated into existing energy management systems located at power companies or organizations to provide the services among the customers without man-power. Our implemented project is able to provide all required services remotely for metering and billing with high fidelity.

GSM Based Automatic Energy Meter Reading

The technology of e-metering (Electronic Metering) has gone through rapid technological advancements and there is increased demand for a reliable and efficient Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system. This paper presents the design of a simple low cost wireless GSM energy meter and its associated web interface, for automated messaging and managing the collected data globally. The proposed system replaces traditional meter reading methods and enables remote access of existing energy meter by the energy provider. Also they can monitor the meter readings regularly without the person visiting each house. A GSM based wireless communication module is integrated with electronic energy meter of each entity to have remote access over the uses of electricity. Live meter reading from the GSM enabled energy meter is sent back to this billing point periodically and these details are updated in a central database. A new interactive, user friendly graphical user interface is developed using AVR visual studio and C programming. With proper authentication, users can access the developed web page details from anywhere in the world. The complete monthly usage and due bill is messaged back to the customer after processing the data.

GSM based Energy Meter Reading and Billing

In present world almost all industrial systems are based on wireless communication, as it has many advantages. The development of a fully Automated Energy Meter which is having capabilities like remote monitoring and controlling of energy meter will lead to transparency in the energy meter reading and billing system. Automatic Meter Reading system (AMR) will continuously monitors the energy meter and sends data on to a server system of service provider through wireless communication where data will be stored as well. Later the bill details will be sent to the customer through SMS. It saves huge human labor. Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) technology is used to communicate between the service provider and the customer. This system avoids the human intervention in power management. If the customer does not pay the bill in time, the user is informed through SMS system using GSM. If still customer does not pay the bill then as per designed late consideration, one alert message will be sent then automatically the power connection is disconnected from the remote server. This developed system provides efficient monitoring of energy meter reading, power control mechanism, avoids the billing error and also reduces the cost of maintenance.

IJERT-Live Energy Meter Reading and Billing System through GPRS

International Journal of Engineering Research and Technology (IJERT), 2015

https://www.ijert.org/live-energy-meter-reading-and-billing-system-through-gprs https://www.ijert.org/live-energy-meter-reading-and-billing-system-through-gprs The current electric meter doesn't have provision to monitor our electricity consumption. Also, the provision for generating bills automatically is limited and inefficient. Until now, Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system uses SMS as the medium to transfer data to the server. But, the designed energy meter uploads the reading periodically to a central public server through GPRS. GPRS is more cost effective than SMS and is very useful in frequent update. There is no need for a person to visit every home at the end of every month for checking the reading. The bills are generated automatically at the start of every month. In recent years, the number of smart phone users have increased drastically. The users can view their current Energy meter reading and also pay their Electric bills through mobile application. The users can also monitor their Energy meter on-line and they are also given an option of paying the bill on-line. By using this system, the users will be aware of the electricity usage in his/her home. With slight modifications to the system, it can be used by corporate companies to monitor their power consumption and help them reduce the power wastage to a greater scale.
