Modeling of Arduino-Based Prepaid Energy Meter Using GSM Technology

This document discusses modeling an Arduino-based prepaid energy meter using GSM technology. The proposed system uses an Arduino Uno microcontroller interfaced with an energy meter to read energy consumption. It displays readings on an LCD screen and sends data via SMS through a GSM modem. This provides an advancement over conventional energy meters by enabling consumers to effectively manage electricity usage through prepaid billing to eliminate unpaid bills and human errors in meter readings.

MODELING OF ARDUINO-BASED PREPAID ENERGY METER USING GSM

TECHNOLOGY
ABSTRACT

It is realized that one of the defective subsystems adding to the tremendous budgetary loss in
Power Supply Company is the conventional metering and charging framework. Mistakes get
presented at each phase of charging the energy rates, similar to blunders with conventional
meters, reading errors by human while noticing the consumed energy; and blunder during the
preparation of paid and the due bills. The solution for this downside is a prepaid charging or
billing framework of consumed energy. Most of the developing countries are shifting their
conventional energy management practices to the modern one by replacing the old and
conventional energy meters with the smart meters outfitted with the prepaid facility to
quantify the power consumption so as to decrease the income deficits looked by utilities
because of customer unwillingness to make consumed energy payments on time. Our
proposed design embedded with Arduino and GSM technology is advancement over
conventional energy meter, which enables consumer to effectively manage their electricity
usage. The system performance is good with the acquired results. An earlier charging will
undoubtedly get rid of the issues of unpaid bills and human mistakes in meter readings, along
these lines guaranteeing justified income for the utility.

The energy meter is interfaced to a microcontroller of ATMEGA family Arduino-Uno. The


energy meter readings are also read by the Arduino-Uno and displayed on an LCD Screen,
this data is also sent via SMS through a GSM modem interfaced to the Arduino-Uno.
