Abstract:
The present systems of energy billing are error prone, time and labour consuming. This
project present a design of GSM–based metering system for electricity utilities; to
remotely connect/disconnect power supply through meter, to provide utilities access
through a network application and to provide a display unit remotely from the meter itself.
To implement this system an ARM controller or PLC based board is used. The energy
meter has a LED which blinks for a specific number of times to indicate the energy
consumed. These pulses are fed to the ARM base system which is programmed to count
these pulses. The proposed system is only for single phase users which provides
information to both the service provider and the consumer, bill payment through online or
through mobile automatically using E-billing techniques.
