“GSM BASED ENERGY METER MONITORING AND LOAD CONTROL” Mr. Darshit S. Patel, Vadodara Institute of Engineering, Vadodara, India. Mr. H.B. Patel, Vadodara Institute of Engineering, Vadodara, India. ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract:The main aim of our Article is to make the job II. Block diagram: of electricity board easy and less time consuming, in respect to the monitoring and load control of the consumers’ energy meter. As we all know that the ELECTRICITY BOARD use to send the employees to the consumer side for taking the load readings or the consumption readings at the end month or two months, usually this whole process is used to be contracted by the electricity board with the sub-authorities. Hence the employees from the sub-authority will fetch the reading from the consumer houses and use to deliver this data to the board, after which the respective BILLS are issued. Fig.1: Block diagram But unfortunately this whole process is full of errors and The basic implementation theory includes the step by defects. Yet behalf of all this tedious work, we could step processes that should mentioned in the chronical make it very easy and simple with the application of the order; the major working parts that should be covered project GSM BASED ENERGY METER MONITORING AND in order for the completion of the project are as LOAD CONTROL. In which just by sending the required mentioned below; massage to the specified number we can get the desired Making of the basic microcontroller kit. feedback within the fraction of seconds. This Making of the power circuit for the communication is based on GSM communication system microcontroller kit. for fast feedback.

Our Article mainly deals in the channel between the electricity provider and the consumer. Usually the electricity board use to send the employees to the consumer side for taking the meter reading at the end of particular instant. Normally these employees are made on short-term contract basis or are provided from sub authorities on the contract basis only. This job becomes difficult and time consuming because sometimes there may arises the clashes between one or more authorities due to which the misplace of data takes place. These data, which is acquired by the employees, are conveyed to the electricity board and then the final bills are issued and distributed among the consumers. Yet this whole process works effectively but it needs some of the modification as it is so time consuming, costlier, as well as the tedious job. Moreover there are many difficulties for the employees to reach at some of the places depending on the various atmospheric as well as the geographical conditions.

III. How to take the pulses from the energy meter Since we have used the STATIC ENERGY METER for the project purpose, in that we have to take the pulses out for the calculation of the consumption by the loads. We have coupled the static energy meter with the microcontroller using the OPT coupler, the Cal led of the meter is replaced by the optcoupler’s led and hence the blinking of the CAL. Led is projected on the transistor of opt coupler.
