The traditional electro-mechanical meter, still widely used today collection of meter readings is also inefficient, because a meter reader has to physically be on site to take the reading. This method of collecting of meter readings becomes more problematic and cost when readings have to be collected from vast.
In addition there are different new types of KWH meters and efficient ways for readings KWH meters (energy consumption).
In our country almost people use electro-mechanical KWH meter, so it’s difficult and cost to replace these KWH meters by a new types.
We look for more efficient way than replacing meter, our idea in this project talk about to eliminate the need for the meter reader to enter the home by making some improvements on traditional meters, to send data (energy consumption) automatically.
Also, in this project we will try to overcome the problem of non-technical losses.
The metering module consists of a microcontroller and GSM/GPRS modem, connected with a computer server.
