A smart meter system using GSM and Wi-Fi module with instant billing

The technology of Electronic Metering has gone through rapid technological advancements and there is increased demand for a reliable and efficient Automatic Meter Reading system. This system presents the design of a simple low cost wireless GSM energy meter. The proposed system replaces traditional meter reading methods and enables remote access of existing energy meter by the energy provider and also it offers additional functionality including real-time reading, power usage notification etc. Also they can observe the meter readings frequently without the person visiting each house. The accurate functioning of electric meter is controlled by a specially designed IC called ASIC. Usually Person will come from the MSCB office and take the readings from meter and then analyses the reading, generate the bill. This process will take more time as compare to smart meter system. To reduce the time smart meter system is used. In this proposed system the time required to generate the bill is reduced. The measurement system is an ARM7 based wireless technology that incorporates with disconnecting meter via esp8266 web page application & alert via SMS network. This system is time saving and work reducing.
