Design and Development of GSM based Energy Meter
[attachment=66830]
ABSTRACT
Traditional metering method for retrieving the energy data is
not convenient and the cost of the data logging systems is
high. So this paper presents of design and development of
Automatic meter reading (AMR) system. AMR system is a
boom for remote monitoring and control domestic energy
meter. AMR system give the information of meter reading,
power cut, total load used, power disconnect and tempering
on request or regularly in particular interval through SMS.
This information is being sent and received by concerned
energy Provider Company with the help of Global system for
mobile communication (GSM) network. Energy provider
receives the meter reading within a second without visiting
person. AMR minimize the number of traditional visits
required by employs of energy Provider Company. This
system not only reduces the labor cost but also increase meter
reading accuracy and save hugs amount of time.
. INTRODUCTION
An energy meter is a device which is used to measures the
consumption of energy of any residence or other industrial
establishment. In Conventional metering system to measure
electricity consumption the energy provider company hire
persons who visit each house and record the meter reading
manually. These meter readings are used for electricity bill
calculation and this bill sent to consumer house by post. This
is only a sluggish and laborious. In Conventionally metering
system people try to manipulate meter reading by adopting
various corrupt practices such as current reversal or CT
reverse tampers, partial earth fault condition, bypass meter,
magnetic interference etc . There is a stark amount of revenue
loss being incurred by our country. This metering system
becomes very difficult especially in rainy season. If any
consumer did not pay the bill, the electricity worker needs to
go to their houses to disconnect the power supply. It is
inefficient way for measuring power consumption. Power line
communication and Zigbee technology also use for meter
reading. The stability and reliability of meter reading data are
low of power line communication because the carrier wave
signal (power/telephone line) is very easily disturbed by noise
[1]. The ZigBee devices are extremely limited in resources
including processing, memory, and power, short operating
range [2]. GSM based automatic meter reading system is a
succor. AMR eliminates any possibility of electricity theft.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS
Figure 1 shows the complete system description. In this
system each and every meter is provided a particular ID
number. This ID number is provided according to SIM card
unique service number. This system continuously monitors
every meter reading daily, weekly, monthly or on request and
sends to central server of energy Provider Company. The
meter reading is stored in database server through SMS
gateway. After billing calculation a bill is issued by energy
Provider Company which can be sent either by email, by web
account or by post. Customers can pay the bill using net
banking. AMR also sends the information of power cut and
power consumption through SMS. This SIM card service
number is used to identify and retrieve customers detail for
billing and identification purpose.
7 Temper detection unit
Today energy theft is a serious problem due to energy theft
heavy revenue losses are incurred by country. A tempering
unit used for stop of this energy theft that sent the alert to
energy provider company when tempering occurs. If any
person tries to tempering (such as current reversal or CT
reverse tampers, partial earth fault condition, bypassing meter,
magnetic interference, phase or neutral wire swapped, external
tempers etc.) with energy meter the tempering unit will be
activated and as SMS alert send central server of the energy
provider company.
4.8 GSM modem
Quad-band intelligent GSM/GPRS modem suitable for long
duration data transmission. To implement AMR system a
GSM modem is connected to a microcontroller which would
transmits data from a meter to cell phone and also receive
commend from cell phone to energy meter. The modem will
send unit or pulses (power consumption) on a regular interval
or on a request. AT commands set which stands for attention
terminal are used by energy meter to communicate with the
GSM Modem.
CONCLUSION
GSM based energy meter is easy to installation and beneficial
for both energy provider and consumer. AMR is not only
solve the problem of manual meter reading but also provide
additional feature such as power disconnect due to
outstanding dues, power reconnect after pay dues, power cut
alert, tempering alert. AMR also gives the information of total
load used in a house on request at any time. It sends a SMS
alert to energy provider company whether a person using
more than specify limit of load. The statistical load used and
profile can help customer manage their energy consumption.
This system is secure and reliable because it can be accessed
only by an authorized person. If any un-authorized person
tries to access the system this system send an alert to energy
provider and also give warning of that unauthorized person.
This device has the capability to revolutionize the energy
meter market and will become help to country revenue by
stopping the current theft and punishing the dishonest
customers
