Implementation of a GSM based smart energy meter

Abstract

Traditional energy meter needs manual effort to collect the energy usage data from households and then the bill is sent to the customers at the end of the month. This process may lead to possible human errors. To increase the accuracy of the billing systems from utility providers by preventing human errors, an Arduino and GSM based automatic billing system is implemented in this project. The implemented system measures the energy usage and bill accurately and also notifies the billing information to the users via mobile phone SMS on a daily and monthly basis. The implemented system increases energy awareness and provides hassle-free service to utility customers.
