Automatic Meter Reading of Electric Energy Meter

Abstract

In this research project, we describe a Global System for Mobile Communications-based self-sufficient remote meter-reading system (GSM). Because this paper is so useful, meter readers do not need to visit each customer's location in person to obtain energy consumption information. Using a microcontroller, it is possible to monitor and maintain track of the meter readings. It is unnecessary for the electricity company to dispatch personnel to physically disconnect a delinquent client. Using short messaging service (SMS), the energy supplier may temporarily disconnect and then reconnect a customer's service (SMS). In addition, the client may monitor the load (the power condition) from any location. GSM is used in this case for the transfer of data from energy meters.
