Smart Electricity Meter

Abstract

Today there is a requirement of smart energy meter in market. hence Nowadays the system will use ZigBee system for communication protocol. The ZigBee is used since the application need high speed data rate, need to be low powered and low cost. In this project presenting the remote wireless Energy Meter Reading   System. This aims at resolving the shortcomings of the technology of the traditional Energy Meter Reading, by combining the characteristics of the ZigBee technology with AVR Microcontroller ATMega16 The automatic metering system is designed to make the prevailing electricity billing system simpler and efficient. The conventional metering system is done manually. An employee of the Electricity Board will be coming to take the reading and enter in the card. There are more chances of manual error, delay in processing, tampering of the meter and misusage of the Electricity by other sources. It requires so many workers, one set of workers to note down the reading and other set to cut the power if the payment is not paid at the right time and we have very poor servicing.
