Abstract


This paper presents the Prepaid Energy Meter with 8051 Microcontroller using GSM for prepaid billing of electricity used in house. Today in India, the present energy billing system is manual which increases processing time and becomes labor consuming. The manual billing system makes data reading and processing errors which may occur at every stage of energy billing. The aim of this system is to minimize the errors by introducing a new system of Prepaid Energy Metering using GSM. Also using this system, it reduces the queue at the electricity billing counters and to restrict the usage of electricity inevitably, if the bill is not paid. The GSM expertise is used so that the consumer would get messages about the consumption of power (in watts) and if it touches the minimum amount, it would automatically alert the consumer to recharge. The GSM module affords a mode of communication among the user and service provider. So, the user can recharge his/her electricity account from phone while sitting at home. The implementation of this system will help in better energy management, conservation of energy and automatic and authentic billing system. The automated billing system will keep track of the real time consumption.

Keywords: energy meter, GSM, microcontroller, prepaid billing system, SMS
