Abstract

Energy meter reading is a tedious and an expensive affair. The meter reader has to go and take the reading manually to issue the bill, which will later be entered in the software to automate the billing and payment system. This paper proposes a new technology for energy meter reading by IOT technology and web server along with the existing meters. An IOT modem will be integrated with electronic energy meter to read the parameter such as voltage, current, frequency and uploaded on server or website. Energy meter deliver the reading details and it is uploaded on the website instantly. This communication system is further useful for electricity regional/sub-regional office, who can monitor the power consumption, and they can identify the problems such as overload and power theft. Moreover, this problem is identified by using same website which is used for monitoring. In this project each customer is differentiated using address or ID, this ID are used for identification by the consumer and as well as by office to monitor the reading and payment details. An additional feature is provided to the user for controlling the power supply during in terms of emergency case.
