Abstract: This paper focuses on developing a smart energy meter which eases the work of human. In early days this metering technology was fully analog. Due to rapid technological developments nowadays it has become digital but not fully automatic it too needed a huge human work force. The above mentioned two techniques have a lot of drawbacks like erroneous and needed a lot of time for repair, gives faulty unit readings ,the second one gives readings digitally with some accuracy but cannot be sent to the billing point directly . It needed a lot of human work force regularly to take readings. The GSM technology introduced here eliminates all the above mentioned drawbacks by fully automating the energy meter .i.e. the meter readings are taken and sensed automatically and sensed units are regularly sent to the billing point using the GSM and corresponding bills are calculated and sent to the user at the correct time. It reduces the time, it reduces the human work force, will give accurate readings. This system replaces traditional energy meter reading methods and enables remote accessing of existing energy meter by the energy provider. They can monitor the readings regularly without visiting the person’s house.
Keywords: Smart energy meter, GSM technology and Automation.Â
