Abstract
Every system is trying to make automatic, portable and remote control. This work presents a smart energy meter for an automatic and higher level metering and billing system. The integration of the Arduino and GSM provide communication through short message service the meter reading system with some automatic functions that are predefined. The proposed smart energy meter system can incorporate with embedded controller and GSM to transmit the data like consumed energy in kWh, generated bill, security services over GSM mobile network and comparison of two days data on meter such as data could be then fed and integrating into existing energy management systems located at power companies to provide the services among the customers. Our project is able to provide all required services casually for metering and billing with high fidelity.
The main objective and goal of the project is to produce a GSM based energy meter reading system through short message service (SMS). The electricity department and the consumer can get the readings of the energy meter of consumers by SMS.This type of data is also given to the department of electrical engineering using Globel system for mobiles (GSM) technology for electricity billing purposes. Due to high electricity cost these days it becomes arsenical for the users to know as to how much electric Arduino input is actually connected to an integrated circuit smart energy meter and displays the reading calculated on an LCD screen. The reading of the energy meter is also sent to the control room by SMS via GSM modem SIM loaded. The project is designed to read the electrical energy consumed by users in units and rupees for displaying on a screen liquid crystal display (LCD) to the user.Metering is used to control electricity to save their money for bill within his income or budget. In this assumed system, the user will gain his real time data on the of energy consumption show on a LCD. The same data is sent through GSM modem to the electricity metering department and also to customer end by SMS. Arduino is interfaced to the smart energy metering integrated Circuit to get the Watt Hour pulses. The Arduino then procedure these pulses or signal related to the program written in it, and to calculate the units and bill used and cost involved for the user. Further it gives command to the subscriber identity for mobiles SIM in GSM modem for giving the data to the electricity metering department by short message service SMS. Also, the electricity metering department can send the daily, weekly and monthly bill amount over SMS to the receiving unit for consumer information.
