Abstract

In this project deals with automatic meter reading and theft control system that measures and transmits the total energy consumption by GPRS technology provided by GSM network. Current Sensor is used to measure the total power consumption for house or industrial purpose. For transmitting the reading of energy meter GSM module is used. The GSM module provides a mode of communication between the user/meter and the EB Station. The GSM module will also get real time electricity rates and enable the utility to keep a check on electricity theft. To avoid theft, infrared sensor is placed in the screw portion of energy meter seal. Any human error is placed on the load a message is sent to the electricity board. The measuring of energy meter and monitoring of IR sensor is done with a ARDUINO microcontroller. It also present how the meter reading, disconnection and reconnection can be controlled from server end. This model reduces the manual manipulation work and theft control.
