Automatic cut out two- -way energy billing system using power line communication (original) (raw)

*Corresponding-There are many problems in distribution, metering and billing processes facing the power distribution utilities and the metering billing processes which are considered complex problems. In Nige types of meter in use. The system Automatic communications used for the transfer of data between consumer and utility. The aim of this project is to measure and monitor the electricity consumed by consumers in a locality and transmitting the measured reading between the consumer and electricity provider. The auth matter the advantages and disadvantages. The design carefully used two units which are linked together using PLC method, one is installed at the provider premises and the other at the of the two units are shown, the software design on how the system works is illustrated by the flow chart for the provider unit and the user unit. The construction of the hardware and the results of the testing are shown in the pictures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The results shows that the system worked perfectly displaying the reading of the energy parameters and once any attempt to temper, the system automatically cut out the supply to the userThere are many problems in distribution, metering and billing processes facing the power distribution utilities and the metering and billing processes are considered complex problems. The existent classical method to retrieve energy meter data and billing each consumer and manually take the reading of that meter then return to the electricity distribution office to issue the bill for each customer. In addition, these collected data from software billing system for issuing bills. These classical method are suffering many problems. The main problems are the non sometimes at their houses which leading the meter reader to retry the process of meter reading and sometimes because of the lack of integrity and credibility of some of the meter readers, they do not retry meter reading they estimate the meter reading [1]. There are type Energy meter, Electronic Energy meters and in use are the kilowatt-hour meters (kWA)and the pre houses, offices, and factories, etc. Meter readers go to the place which is generally situated inside the house and take the meter reading. Most of the time the owner gives some extra money to the meter reader person t less meter reading. As a result, corruptions occur and actual payment is not received by the service provider. So, the provider faces a huge amount of loss in every Increasingly residents are getting tired of paying excess electricity bills. for their electricity upfront, before they use it. The benefit of this is that you don't have any surprise bills at the end of the month and can budget for your is the remote collection of consumption data from customers' utility like Electric meters using radio frequency, telephony, power-line or satellite communications technologies and process th concept of Power Line Communication is used for the transfer of data between consumer and utility. Power Line Communication uses a high-power line for communication. The data is transmitted at a higher frequency than that of the transmission frequency. The main advantage of this method is that no additional transmission line is required for the transmission of data. This project is mainly implemented for the purpose of getting a fully automatic electricity billing system. The aim of this project is to measure and monitor the electricity consumed by consumers in a locality The *Corresponding author: Tyowuah, Michael ngumom-ABSTRACT-There are many problems in distribution, metering and billing processes facing the power distribution utilities and the metering billing processes which are considered complex problems. In Nigeria there are two common system Automatic cut out two-way energy billing system using power line used for the transfer of data between consumer and utility. The aim of this project is to measure and monitor the electricity consumed by consumers in a locality and transmitting the measured reading between the consumer and electricity provider. The author reviewed other related works on the subject matter the advantages and disadvantages. The design carefully used two units which are linked together using at the provider premises and the other at the user's premises. The bloc of the two units are shown, the software design on how the system works is illustrated by the flow chart for the provider unit and the user unit. The construction of the hardware and the results of the testing are shown in the and 5. The results shows that the system worked perfectly displaying the reading of the energy parameters and once any attempt to temper, the system automatically cut out the supply to the user Automatic Meter Reading, Power Line communication, Arduino microcontroller, Electricity
