Smart Energy Metering and Billing System using Arduino

It has become a trend to integrate automatic systems via wireless applications and remote control over the network. This paper represents an automatic and flexible smart energy metering and billing system. Using the Arduino circuit along with GSM & Wi-Fi Shield provide the meter reading system with some automatic functions that are predefined and used in this system. The proposed energy metering system can be implemented with the help of Open Source Hardware like Arduino and GSM Shield for transmission of data over the network, which consumes energy in the form of kWh. It also provides security services and calculates bill over the Internet. Now a day, a wide variety of solutions has been proposed for the transmission of data and remote measurement. In this paper, architecture of a real-time smart energy meter along with billing system is presented which provides several Smart Meters, that continuously monitor loads and can communicate with Arduino with the help of CAN bus.
