INTRODUCTION PROPOSED SYSTEM EXISTING SYSTEM FEATURES
The project entitled “mart Energy Meter Using
Android Devi e . This system controls automated
Energy Meter which is having capabilities like remote
monitoring and controlling of energy meter. Automatic
meter reading monitors the energy meter and sends
data on request of service provider through internet.
The application sends electricity bill by online. It helps
electricity companies who have outstanding dues,
otherwise electricity board can disconnect the
electricity of customer. Companies can re-connect the
power after deposition of dues. The system also gives
the power cut information and tempering alert.
The cost efficient transmission of readings ensures that
power consumption values can be transmitted more
frequently to a remote station. The implication of being
able to transmit readings more often are that energy
utilities will be able to generate timely bills, better
understand energy demand patterns for network
dimensioning and Demand Side Management (DSM) ,
maintain meter failures more efficiently and manage
fraud better .The entire system can be cost effective
and significant amounts of time and money can be
saved, by implementing automated system, as opposed
to one involving the human element. The system also
poses much less of a safety risk since human interaction
has been minimized.
The project is developed on the basis of PHP as front
end tool and MYSQL as back end tool. And some of the
JQUERY features also included in the design process.
PHP is used for the designing, coding and it is slight
variance of HTML. MYSQL is used as the database, it is
used to storing and retrieving data. There are several
coding for connecting the database as well as storing
Data. JAVA codings is used for android device purpose
The traditional electro-mechanical meters, still widely
used today, are prone to drift over temperature and
time as a result of the analogue and mechanical nature
of the components in these meters. Collection of meter
readings also inefficient, because a meter reader has to
physically be on-site to take the readings. This method
of collecting of meter readings becomes more
problematic and costly when readings have to be
collected from vast, and often scattered rural areas.
Meter readers are reluctant to make the effort to travel
to such areas and will often submit inaccurate
estimations of amount of electricity consumed.
Electronic meters display the energy used on an LCD or
LED display, and some can also transmit readings to
remote places. In addition to measuring energy used,
electronic meters can also record other parameters of
the load and supply such as instantaneous and
maximum rate of usage demands, voltages, power
factor and reactive power used etc. They can also
support time-of-day billing, for example, recording the
amount of energy used during on-peak and off-peak
hours.
DISADVANTAGES
The main commercial problems faced by power
conventional consumption meters are as follows.
•Debt from the client.
•Meter tampering by clients.
•Dishonesty and bribery of visiting meter readers.
•Stealing of power by clients.
•Security and environment for where the meters are
installed
The android based meters developed have a dual
digital display, by LED and numerical wheel display,
which is managed remotely by admin based on GSM.
Automatic current reading based on specified interval
and it automatically load on the remote electricity
oard’s server.
ADVANTAGES
• Fast process.
•Data security is high.
•Communication is expense is very low.
•Control from remote location.
•Data gathering is fast.
•Schedule power cut depending on the usage.
•Able to disconnect and reconnect from office.
•Alerts and complaints can make remedial action as
soon possible.
