These instructions give you guidelines for preparing papers for an existence without electricity can't be thought of since it turns into an integral part of human life. In a developing country, people use postpaid electricity for their own purposes. Be that as it may, they do not know the amount of electricity they have consumed and how much cost they have done likewise till they receive the consumption bill at the end of the month. Also, in prepaid meters, to see consumption details, people have to go in front of the meter. In this research, a system has been designed based on GSM technology to solve this problem. The prepaid meter must be recharged; as a result, clients can use the electricity. The system alerts the client for any kind of emergency. Besides, when the client is away from the house, he can easily switch off the supply of electricity by sending an SMS. This project will support both society and country because it helps to reduce the wastage of electricity and to check electricity consumption and bill from remote distances.

The measurement of the energy consumed by residential and commercial buildings by utility provider is important in billing, control and monitoring of the usage of energy. Traditional metering techniques used for the measurement of energy are not convenient and is prone to different forms of irregularities. These irregularities include inaccuracies in billing due to human error, energy theft, loss of revenue due to corruption and so on. This research study proposed the design and construction of a microcontroller based electric energy metering system using the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) network. This system provides solution to the irregularities posed by the traditional metering technique by allowing the utility provider have access to remote monitoring capabilities, full control over consumer load, and remote power disconnection in the case of energy theft. Proteus simulation software was used to model the system hardware and the software was obtained by using emb...

Automatic Energy Meter Reading System Using GSM Technology

Automatic Energy Meter Reading system (AEMR) regularly read the energy meter and calculate total amount of bill at the set dead line and sends the message to service provider. From energy meter received data i.e. user name, meter ID, total units with paying amount this message maintained at database server which located at service provider department. By using this system save the time required for conventional billing system and minimized human work load. User and service provider both are get correct reading and bill amount. AEMR System can provide message at hourly, daily and monthly by the request. This technology reduced the man power, reading collection time, theft of electricity also avoids late bill payment. By apply this system data security improve. And improve customer and service provider services. Due to this system service provider quickly find out illegal and late bill paying customer by accessing database. So GSM based AEMR system is more efficient that conventional billing system.

This system consists of GSM digital power meter installed in every consumer unit. A GSM modem is connected to the energy meter. Each modem will be having its own sim.The sim card used is implemented in energy meter and it sends a message to the user about the due bill. A LCD is used in the hardware module for the user interface. The LCD displays the current usage and units consumed. Here the system operates in two modes. First mode is depends up on the time and the second mode is depends up on the usage of power. For every 30 days the information is sends to the electricity board office regarding the units by using GSM. The user can pay the amount just by knowing the given code which is fed in the meter. If that consumer does not payed the bill then from the EB(ELECTRICITY BOARD) office the power is switched off. `After paying the bill only the power is connected to that consumer by sending a command from the EB(ELECTRICITY BOARD) office. If in case the required units usages have achieved within 30 days then the power will be shut down and immediately and the SMS is sent to the EB(ELECTRICITY BOARD) office.
