NTP Based Smart Energy Meter

Abstract — The fast advancing mobile communication technology and the decrease in costs make it possible to incorporate mobile technology into MSEB automation systems. The traditional approach for collection of energy consumption data is that the representatives of MSEB monthly comes and visit every residential and corporate and manually reads the consumption data from the meter. The data is recorded on a piece of paper along with a snap shot of the meter and finally submitted to the local MSEB office. There after the officials reads the snap shot and readings of the meter and then feed it to the local software for bill generation. Finally the bills are dispatched. Human resources are wasted and many other problems do occur.In this propose system, energy meter collects the consumed energy reading from residential and corporate zones, encrypt it and send it directly to the central Server. Every Energy consumption meter will be attached to a microcontroller unit that will scan the meter reading after every one month, encrypt the data to be send and then it will transmitted wirelessly to the local server along with the meter number. This data will be processed by the server and generates the bill automatically. Once the bill is generated an SMS alert will be send to the customer’s mobile number and it will be also mailed on the customer’s registered email ID
