Design and Construction of a GSM Based Energy Meter Reader and Load Control System

Abstract

Electricity provides a very convenient form of energy for lighting, heating, cooling, motive power for driving various types of loads and power for a number of utilization applications. Its advantages in modern world are ease of control and cleanliness. This project report is focused on the design and construction of a GSM Based Energy meter reader and load control system. This smart meter has been proposed as an innovation solution aimed at facilitating afford ability and reducing the cost of utilities. This project sought to replace the existing manual reading of electricity meters installed throughout the country (home, agricultural and industrial). The designed GSM Based Energy meter reader and load control system circuit were designed using computer languages of HTML, CSS and Javascript and simple circuitry materials. The GSM based meter was then subjected to Proteus version 8 software for accuracy. Results obtained showed that the resultant design was a sustainable and suitable upgrade from our conventional energy systems. The system will cut costs and improve transparency to a very large extent. Any failure or inconveniences on the customer side can be easily detected and rectified. The electricity board can monitor each individual meter in the network. The server would provide a complete solution for the same, so there would be constant monitoring of the meter reading regularly without the person visiting each house.
