Design a Model of Smart Metering System for Light Load Consumer

Smart meter is solid state device based instrument that collect electricity consumption to monitor real time electricity consumption means hour to hour or less and communicates the data at least daily, back to the utility for monitor, control and billing purpose. Smart meter is a digital electronic meter which provides real time communication which means any mode of telecommunication in which all users can exchange information instantly or with negligible response time between the consumer and the utility which makes complete system profitable. Complication such as calculation of meter reading and billing, demand requirement, cheating, unauthorized connection etc. can be cleared up through smart metering. This paper proposes the design and fabrication of smart meter. The overall consumption of any consumer which is real time data communicates to smart meter via radio frequency link. In house display system, which requires confirmation to interact with smart meter also offers consumer to set consumption limit with SMS alerts and turn ON/OFF the supply of electric energy. The whole consumption details of each appliance are also sent to utility with consumption date and time via SMS for billing purpose. The utility also has access to the smart meter for power cut off in case of bills not being paid.
