PREPAID ENERGY METER

ABSTRACT

A majority of energy providers in India are still using the traditional

method of energy meter billing which is obsolete and inefficient. It requires
considerable manual work, consumes time and resources. Conventional energy
metering systems lack bidirectional communication. The technology of energy
metering has undergone several advancements however it still has many
problems such as theft of electricity, inadequate last mile connectivity, no
electricity connection, distribution, and consumer-level losses, etc. This paper
demonstrates the use of an innovative system which will bridge the gap between
the consumer and energy provider. It includes designing a web portal providing
access to the billing information. The system is a wireless Global System for
Mobile communication (GSM) based energy meter which has a web interface,
Internet of Things (IoT) is used for displaying details of real-time energy
consumption. The proposed system does not replace the traditional meters and it
can be easily interfaced with the existing energy meters. Additionally, it acts as
a substitute for the former reading methods and allows global access of a
present energy meter to the energy supplier and customer.
