Design and Implementation of an Efficient Smart Digital Energy Meter

Abstract

In this research, the development of digital prepaid energy meters for homes and businesses that use GSM technology is discussed. The reduction of billing cost electricity wastage is the primary goal of prototype development. The GSM module is used to receive short messaging service (SMS) from the user's mobile phone, which automatically enables the controller to take any further action, such as to help the consumer save money by using prepaid energy meter systems offered by power generation and distribution companies. Embedded C is used to integrate the system's microcontroller and GSM network interface. The integration was carried out using Easy EDA software. When the balance on the energy meter falls too low, the system sends the consumer an SMS. Consumer research is then lacking, leaving power without. After getting the SMS command, the Consumer then balances his or her investigation. Therefore, each item facilitates the usage of electrical power in homes and businesses. The prepaid energy meter is then turned ON or OFF by the microcontroller unit, which subsequently automatically controls the electrical power to homes and businesses. In other words, it responds to the message it receives by reading it from the cell phone and controlling the equipment accordingly.
