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.
