Zigbee Based Electric Meter Reading System

The hardware implementation was designed and then analyzed the use cases for electric meter.

Zigbee based electric meter reading system.

Amr eliminates any possibility of electricity theft. We will take example of zigbee display which works with zigbee smart meter meant to read electricity consumption. In this propose system zigbee module will be attached to the meter by using interface board and the data collector will be connected to. Let us see how this works.

The system is a combination of zigbee and gsm technology. Gsm based automatic meter reading system is a succor. An amr system based on cc2420 is designed. In this propose system zigbee module will be attached to the meter by using interface board and the data collector will be connected to the central computer by using gsm.

Base station is composed of a computer with zigbee module. This technology mainly saves utility providers the expense of periodic trips to each physical location to read a meter. Abstract a networked wireless amr automatic meter reading system based on wireless sensor networks and zigbee technology is presented in this paper for solving the problems existed in the existing meter reading system. Presenting the remote wireless electric meter reading system this aims at resolving the shortcomings of the technology of the traditional electric meter reading combining the characteristics of the zigbee technology and ieee802 15 4 standard.

The smart meter based on zigbee is not limited to just meter reading but it has many applications. Today electric meter water meter gas meter are available based on zigbee technology. Automatic meter reading amr is the technology of automatically collecting consumption diagnostic and status data from water meter or energy metering devices gas electric and transferring that data to a central database for billing troubleshooting and analyzing. Meter reading is wirelessly transmitted to base station.

The system is suitable with malaysian environment which was already implemented gsm based amr in lpc. In the present work zigbee based automatic meter reading amr unit is designed to continuously monitor the meter reading and to shut down the power supply remotely whenever the consumer fails to pay the bill.
