SMART PREPAID ELECTRICITY SYSTEM
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryIn the course of recent years, smart devices have accomplished a developing acknowledgment as an effective instrument for security, recognizable proof, and approval. As of late, with the tremendous change we are seeing a great development in the quantity of web based smart devices and mobile devices, including smart telephones, remote PDAs and different virtual worlds empower electronic type of equipments. Proficient and smart prepaid meters are likewise being utilized to give dependable metering and billing system. By doing so it disposes of various security and duty related issues. Number of countries such as USA, UK, Belgium, Germany and Iran and so forth are utilizing such meters for gas and power utilization. With a specific end goal to wipe out the need of month to month charging, billing collection and to make the conventional metering system more effective smart prepaid metering system is being proposed.
In smart metering every user needs to introduce carefully composed meter which is associated through GSM module in their home, office or industry. In light of the power use, the credit will be deducted consequently from the prepaid meter the consumer must recharge the energy meter in case of low credit to run the power. The proposed framework utilizes an IP-based controller what's more of a power meter, giving productive online control of the measure of power consumed by the user. The customer will be advised if his credit adjust goes beneath certain edge. In prepaid charging framework, the buyer will be constantly cognizant about the rest of the credit and in this way attempt to utilize power precisely and stop its abuse. The correspondence between the meter and the consumer is built up through a GSM module so physical usage is conceivable in relatively every area of Pakistan. Also, for each user LCD is introduced to demonstrate the client about the units expended and remaining units.
Project ObjectivesThe main objectives and outcomes of this project is to design, implement and build a low cost and efficient smart prepaid energy metering system with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth device. There are several objectives that are needed to be done in order to successfully achieve our goal. These are stated below:
- Measuring power consumption accurately.
- Balancing system load and tracking meter balance.
- Cutting off power temporarily when the balance of the system becomes zero without human aid.
- Restoring power when the balance of the system is greater than zero without human aid.
- To ensure and identify the benefits of the prepaid metering system to the corporation.
- To ascertain the benefits of prepaid metering system to customer.
The energy charging framework which is currently being utilized is more inclined to mistake and tedious. There is no legitimate method to know the shopper's greatest request and use subtle elements. The current charging framework which is utilized as a part of our nation is tedious and furthermore there is more prominent chance of mistake in it. Likewise the work cost for gathering billing information and exchanging information is troublesome and more inclined to error. Since the most recent many years of the previous century, researchers, scientists and power providing organizations all through the world are attempting to lessen the energy utilization. Individuals spend considerably more power than what they actually need and this result in enormous loss of energy. In addition, the consistent increment in the all-inclusive energy costs has brought about an immense increase in the overall billing.
The costs for metering, charging and gathering information ended up perplexing as power is provided to huge number of consumers situated in far zones bringing about high cost per unit. Numerous power providing organizations throughout the world are focusing to enhance their position throughout the years. They came up with the idea to enhance their income gathering and control electricity theft and non-installment of month to month bills. One of the real and effective method was to introduce programmed meter readingand remove the process of regular credit meters .So as noted, there is a request in building a efficient framework that has a low working expense and can play out all these defects in systematic way. Pakistan particularly lacks in mechanized field and no such work has been done previously. A ton of research has been done to learn the factors influencing income accumulation in associations and suggestions have being given on approaches to enhance income gathering. One of these proposals is the utilization of the paid ahead of time metering framework. In this way, such a framework can be utilized as a part of development project for the greater good.
Benefits of the ProjectThe main advantages and outcomes of this project is to design, implement and build a low cost and efficient smart prepaid energy metering system with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth device. There are several objectives that are needed to be done in order to successfully achieve our goal. These are stated below:
- Measuring power consumption accurately.
- Balancing system load and tracking meter balance.
- Cutting off power temporarily when the balance of the system becomes zero without human aid.
- Restoring power when the balance of the system is greater than zero without human aid.
- To ensure and identify the benefits of the prepaid metering system to the corporation.
- To ascertain the benefits of prepaid metering system to customer.
This project will help the consumers pay for their electrical consumption in a quick and simple manner. Consumers using this system will no longer receive any electric bill, and they can easily remember how much they have to pay since the prepaid cards would have certain denominations that will suit their needs and budget.
