Prepaid Energy Meter
- 1. Ronak Rathod Divya Shah Aarsh Pathak 1
- 2. The concept of Electronic Energy meters are introduced in the power sector to effectively Monitor the billing faults and minimize the losses Prepaid Energy meter is a multipurpose project which can integrate all the functions like billing and automatic message response to user 2
- 3. Motivation Objectives Project Work Scope of project 3

- 5. UP is the country’s biggest center for the country’s most inefficient power sector failures The state is also blamed for overdrawing electricity from the national grid through illegal means According to the World Bank estimates, ignoring bill payement reduces India’s GDP by around 1.5% (Smith, 2012) 5
- 6. A study by NDTV also concluded that 40% of the electricity in India is unpaid Of all the power generated in the country, around 1/4th is either stolen or lost in transmission Level of electricity losses and the economic growth rate are inversely related. 6
- 7. Developing energy meter that informs consumption Informing consumption via SMS Prepaid paying of electricity bills Minimize losses 7
- 9. 9
- 10. Making a proper billing system-from shifting post paying into pre-paying system Device would help notify amount of power consumed LCD screen displays the power consumed and remaining balance Inform user about prepaid recharge Load would cutoff when balance is null 10

- 17. Narrow operating voltage: 1-16V. Low current consumption: 3-100mA 17
- 18. Supply voltage; 5V (4.7V – 5.3V) Vcc Contrast adjustment; through a variable resistor 18
- 19. The term GSM usually means the GSM standard and protocols in the frequency spectrum around 900MHz The MS is the physical equipment used by a subscriber, most often a normal hand-held cellular telephone The BTS comprises the radio transmission and reception devices, and also manages the signal processing related to the air interface 19
- 20. This project could also be used for water usage management These projects will help cut technical and commercial losses and improve collection efficiency It would reduce human efforts 20
