Gprs Based Automatic Energy Meter Reading System with Gps Tracking

Abstract

The technology of e-metering (Electronic Metering) has gone through rapid technological advancements and there is increased demand for a reliable and efficient Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system. The proposed system replaces traditional meter reading methods. It enables remote access of existing energy meter by the energy provider. A GPRS based wireless communication module is integrated with electronic energy meter of each entity to have remote access over the usage of electricity. A PC with a GPRS receiver at the other end, which contains the database acts as the billing point. Live meter reading from the GPRS enabled energy meter is sent back to this billing point periodically and these details are updated in a central database. Authentically, users can access the developed web page details from anywhere in the world. The complete monthly usage and due bill is messaged back to the customer after processing this data. So GPRS based wireless AMR system is more effective approach for convention of billing system. This system also provide authority to electricity companies to take actions against lenient customers who have outstanding dues, otherwise company has right to disconnect the power supply and also it can reconnect power supply after deposition of dues.
