WIRELESS ENERGY THEFT METER USING GSM

This paper deals with Energy meters are replacing conventional energy meters (electro Postpaid mechanical energy meters) throughout the world power systems. They have outperformed the electromechanical meters in terms of functionality and performance. The manufacturing investment, the measurement accuracy and quality, and fault tolerant billing are each unquestionably superior to the traditional electromechanical meter design. The electronic energy meter have built in microcontroller based technology that makes it accurate, more reliable, tamperproof and with future enhancing prospect the most preferable over electromechanical meter. Electromechanical meters have been the standard for metering electricity since billing began. Today’s electricity companies are demanding more information from meters in the residential sector, where metering has typically been limited to kilowatt-hours. New features such as multi-tariff billing, reactive energy measurement and power quality monitoring are desirable to improve generation, distribution, customer service and billing. Postpaid energy meters are mainly uses to restrict the energy theft, especially in urban & rural areas. 8051 microcontroller & Energy Metering IC ADE7751 along with other circuit are used in this project.
