Energy Metering by using Power Line Communication

Everywhere automation is needed to reduce the work. We decided to put in to practice the meter reading using power line communication. It can be measure real time and also save the time. It had better user interface and digital data analysis. Data was send over existing carrier by using power line that's minimizes the complexity and cost of system. Energy meter reading was a monotonous and costly work. The meter reader people run through each meter and catch the meter reading manually to issue the bill which will later be entered in the billing software for payment automation. If the manual meter reading and bill data entry process can be automated then it minimizes the hard task and financial wastage system. It was used for data collecting from the meter and processing the collected data for billing and other decision purposes. We had proposed an automatic meter reading system which was low cost, high performance and cover highest coverage area. In the data receiving and processing unit meter reading was collected from the transceiver which controlled by another microcontroller. There was computer application that will take the data from the microcontroller. This was help to avoid any tampering or break down of energy. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.15027
