Proposal

This document describes the development of a pre-paid energy meter system that aims to improve billing services for both energy suppliers and consumers in Pakistan. The system uses a microcontroller-based energy meter connected to a GSM modem and card reader. Consumers can purchase prepaid smart cards containing credit that is deducted based on energy usage. When credit runs low, an alarm sounds. The meter automatically shuts off power when credit is depleted. The system aims to reduce power theft, streamline billing processes, and provide flexibility to consumers.

PRE-PAID ENERGY METER

Objective
To understand, analyze, design and develop pre-paid energy meter which provides both the suppliers and the consumers with better services regarding meter billing and payment.

Introduction Pakistan has been facing electricity problems since last a few years; this led the people of Pakistan to frustration and miseries. The one of the causes of power crisis in our country is the corruption in the form of power theft. To combat the corruption we come up with the idea of pre-paidly used energy meters. The traditional revenue collection (billing) systems of Pakistan Electric supply companies (IESCO, KESC, etc) are inaccurate, costly, slow, and lack flexibility as well as reliability. Therefore, several attempts were made to automate the billing systems. Even though accurate and fast readings are obtained, bill payment is still performed based on the old billing procedure (long queues at Banks). Electric supply companies require an individual/agent to physically come and take down the energy meter readings and report to house hold/office the amount one has to pay. So we have decided to develop a new scheme of Electric billing system called

"PREPAID ENERGY METER WITH TARIFF UPDATE"


can facilitate in improved cash flow management in energy utilities and can reduces problem associated with billing consumer living in isolated area and reduces deployment of manpower for taking meter readings. The meter can be recharge by sending SMS to a GSM modem connected to the meter like as(easy loading a mobile phone) OR Every consumer can buy a memory card (is nothing but an EEPROM IC) with a password stored inside it using a MC program. The memory card is available at various ranges (i.e. Rs 50, Rs 100, Rs 200 etc).In our project we have given the name for memory card as smart card. When the consumer inserts a smart card into the card reader which is connected kit. Then the card reader will read the stored information and delete the information from the EEPROM IC (smart card) using the MC program. So that the smart card cannot be reused by others. Suppose if a consumer buys a card for Rs.50/- he / she can insert this amount through the card reader so that prepaid energy meter with tariff indicator kit will be activated. According to the power consumption the amount will be reduced. When the amount is over, the relay will automatically shutdown the whole system. In our project we also have a provision to give an alarm sound to consumer before the whole amount is reduced.
