Author Name : Radhey Panchal, Manish Thakker

Synopsis :

Conventional energy metering system in developing country like India follows manual system which requires lots of travelling, manual calculation of reading of electrical energy metering. This conventional metering system is highly person dependent. It doesn’t give any information about energy theft as well as it is very difficult to use individual energy data for optimization of electrical energy load management as all the manual data need to enter in to the system. The proposed automated energy metering system uses GSM/GPRS based smart energy meter which are able to transmit online electrical consumption to server periodically. It also provides energy security by providing alarming system during energy theft which is calculated based on average consumption load. In this paper the authors are also describing implementation concept of this system using LabVIEW software.
