Smart and Intelligent GSM based Automatic Meter Reading System Seminar Report
[attachment=66733]
Abstract
This paper presents the development of a fully
Automated Energy Meter which is having
capabilities like remote monitoring and
controlling of energy meter. Automatic Meter
Reading system (AMR) continuously monitors
the energy meter and sends data on request of
service provider through SMS. It saves huge
human labour. The data received from an
energy meter has been stored in database server
which was located at electricity Board station
through SMS gate way for further processing
by energy provider. Energy provider sends
electricity bill either by e-mail, SMS or by post.
This system allows to the customers to pay bill
online either by credit card, debit card or by net
banking. This system provides freedom to
electricity companies to take action against
lenient customers who have outstanding dues,
otherwise companies can disconnect the power
of customer .Companies can re-connect the
power after deposition of dues. This system
also gives the power cut information and
tempering alert. So GSM based AMR system is
more efficient apropos convention billing
system
Introduction
At present, most of the houses in India have
the traditional mechanical watt hour meters and
the billing system is not automated [1]. At the
end of each month a person from the electricity
board goes to every house and takes the meter
reading manually. These meter readings are
used for electricity bill calculation and this bill
sent to consumer house by post. Customer goes
to electricity department for paying this bill
amount. But in this technique we are required
great number of persons for reading the meters.
The procedures of sending the bills to customer
are very laborious and cumbersome. But a new
technology is named Automatic Meter Reading
System is discuses. Apart from being a boom,
AMR wipes out all the cons of conventional
systems. Automatic Meter Reading System is a
sophisticated system which allows companies
to collect the reading without visiting the
site.AMR include various technology for data
collection such as power line communication,
Zig-bee, Radio Frequency (RF Method) and
GSM network but GSM network is best among
this technology. So this paper will discuss only
GSM based AMR system. Automatic meter
reading system helps the customer and energy
service provider to access the accurate and
updated data from the energy meter.AMR
System can send energy consumption in hourly,
monthly or on request
Comparison between Automatic Meter Reading System and Conventional Metering System
Table 1. Succinctly spouts out comparison
between Automatic Meter Reading System and
Conventional Metering System. Using AMR
Technology we can control and monitor any
energy meter located anywhere in the world
.GSM based energy meter or AMR are provide
tempering alert, auto disconnect feature, power
cut facility. Automatic meter reading system is
access to real time data and received customer
complaints. So costs for meter reading will be
reduced. AMR system avoids meter reading
error and reading data automatically. It’s also
provides increased security of data
Flow Diagram of AMR
Flow diagram succinctly shows that Energy
provider installs the system in particular
house. The meter constantly gives the rise in
meter reading and no. of units consumed.
Electricity department will be requiring data
for processing and bill calculation so they send
a message for required data .When an interrupt
occurs it means microcontroller unit receive a
message through GSM modem .So
microcontroller read the message and also read
message received number and check the
authentication .If the number is authenticate
,then it read current data from EPROM and
send the data to authenticated number.GSM
based AMR sends a SMS alert to energy
provider , if system access mobile number is
not authenticated. This SMS alert has a detail
of un-authenticated numbers but have not data.
Fig.2 is working according to programmed
written in Embedded C. It also provides the
facility of power disconnect to customer that
have large outstanding dues. Electricity
department sends a code to the energy meter
that has large outstanding dues. Microcontroller
has a program of matching of this code to
power disconnect code. If this code is match
then power disconnect to respective meter .It
also provide a facility to power re-connect due
to deposit the large outstanding previous bill
amount. Again Electricity department sent a
code to the energy meter that de
System Implementation and Result
In fig.3 shows a complete set up of GSM based
energy meter .Microcontroller interfaced with
GSM module and energy meter .Pulse and unit
in energy meter are continuously increment
according to power consumption. For
implementation of AMR a SIM card is required
for the GSM modem of energy meter .A
Identification (ID) number allotted according to
SIM contact number. According to requirement
of data electricity department sent a message to
particular energy meter. When microcontroller
received a message its respective port bit are
high and an interrupt signal occur.
Microcontroller starts to execute to the interrupt
service subroutine until it reaches last
instruction of the subroutine. After executing of
RET instruction microcontroller return to main
program that is increment of pulse program.
After Every one month data will be received by
the electricity company automatically and
Electricity Company can be access the system
at any time on request.
Conclusion
The development of GSM based energy meter
demonstrates the concept and implementation of
new power metering system. GSM based AMR
have low infrastructure cost, low operating costs,
more data security and less man power required. It
not only solve the problem of manual meter reading
but also provide additional feature such as power
disconnect, power connect , power cut alert and
tempering alert customer can also pay bill via online
login on authenticated web. Data base server can
stored the current month data and also all previous
month data for future use. So it saves a lot amount
of time and energy.
