Wireless Sensor Network for Electric Meter Handling

Abstract

The technology called wireless sensor network is the most efficient technology which can be used in various applications because of its low power consumption, simple to use, cheaper communication network. In this paper we present a model which is used for collecting and make billing of our monthly used electricity by using wireless sensor network. WSN is a network used to collection of widely distributed sensors which monitors energy used at each home or meter and cooperatively passes their data through the network to a centre location. It is a current most interesting topic of automation system. This system consists of meters, relay, a ZigBee operated wireless sensor network and GSM. GSM module used in this system is used to advance its characteristics such as sending bills, sending notices, due dates of payments to users. This system performs tasks such as taking meter reading, distribution of bills, sending notice, disconnection and reconnection of energy automatically. This model can lead to great deal of costs saving in electricity metering.
