Prepaid Electricity Billing Meter

The document describes a proposed prepaid electricity billing meter system. The system allows users to prepay for a certain amount of electricity using a rechargeable account. Once the account balance reaches zero, the system cuts off the power supply. Users can remotely recharge their accounts using SMS messages. This proposed system provides a more customized billing approach than traditional monthly/quarterly billing, while also eliminating manual meter reading tasks.

Prepaid Electricity Billing Meter

Most of the energy meters are designed to bill as per the units of energy
consumed. These meters need to be manually read by people in order to provide
monthly/quarterly bills. We here propose a prepaid energy billing meter. The system
is designed to allow amount of energy to be used as long as the account has
balance pending. It also allows the operator to recharge the user account using
GSM.

The system first accepts account recharge and allows to use only limited units of
energy as per recharge and then cuts off the supply. The prepaid electricity billing
meter could be widely used to provide a new more customized electricity billing
system, where users may recharge when they intend to use that facility. It also
consists of a GSM modem that allows the operator to recharge the meter remotely
using am SMS message. This puts forward an innovative electricity billing and “use
as needed” electricity usage scheme. It also eliminates the need for manual
electricity meter reading tasks.
