This document describes a smart electricity metering system that uses an e-wallet payment system. The system uses an Arduino board connected to current sensors and a GSM modem to automatically read electricity meters and send readings to the utility provider. It also allows customers to pay electricity bills through an e-wallet on their phone. The system aims to reduce workload for meter readers and provide a more convenient digital payment process for customers.

To overcome this problem new meters came which is still used since like from 2000. One thing was sure no one was able to freeze the reading meter installed in the current electricity meter. Thus it is a successful prototype. But we still have a problem with this meter, i.e. there is unusual work load on people who come to collect the reading of the electricity meter. Also no new paying system is generated. There is payment done online but after when a person checks the reading at the month end and our bill is generated. To overcome this we made this prototype called as Smart Electricity Meter. In which we added some extra features and also implemented IoT (Internet of Things). In our module we installed Arduino board which is like the brain of this meter handles the transaction and messaging functions. The Smart Electricity Meter helps us to reduce unusual workload on workers of the MSEB. Thus saving time and money. It has a unique system which calculates themoney and energy and generates a bill which is then sent through message to MSEB and to the OWNER of the meter. 1 Introduction With the great developments in the field of Internet and technologies, everything has become digital. Internet has become an important part of our lives. A new technologyhas entered into this picture known as Internet of Things (IoT). Internet of Things is a network comprisesofmanyelectronic devices and sensors which are connected together to exchange some information over the web. The devicesbased on IoT seem talking and sharing data with each other. Smart Meter is one of the applications of IoT. It records the consumption and sends the readings to the utility office on regular basis for monitoring and billing. For a long time, traditional electromechanical metershave been used.Meter readings were noted down on the monthly basis. But now with the evolution of smart electricity meters, things are changing In this project we will be using the sensor which is fixed in the meter and the details of the units will be stored in the cloud and from the cloud the message will be send to the MSEB and to the user on the daily basis, and then the user can pay the bill by using the e-payment. By using this system the user can know how much light the particular device consumes in his or her home. Also we add one more feature in it The Prepaid Energy Meter which allowsuser to useprepaidenergymeter functionality. Using this functionality user will able to pay in advance and use the exact amount of energy. The system starts with GSM modemConnectionand first configures the user number and gives authority to that number. The system is made up of AVR Microcontroller, current sensors, GSM modem, LCD display,energymeterand loads. 1.1 Objective The main objective is to automate the manual process of taking readings, calculating bills and then handing them to the user. All the process from calculating the exact use of electricity to paying the Billsto MSEB is made digitalandcan be automated. The main objective is to make the work of MSEB easier and hustle free. 1.2 Literature Survey The paper titled Internet of Things based Smart Electricity Meters proposes a system for smart meter. This paper proposes a new smart meter which need to be replaced. Thus all the old meters need to be replaced with this new meter. This is main drawback of the system. Another research paper titled Smart Electricity Meter Data Intelligence for Future Energy Systems: A Survey presented the current smart-metering space as the smart-metering landscape, and then, a framework has been established to relate smart meter data to stakeholders and applications created by their needs and the analyticstoolsandtechniques required to achieve the stakeholder needs. In the existing system the particular person checks the meter units by manually going there clickingthephotoofthe meter and then calculating the amount according to the units, then they will send the bill to the user by post/by hand. So this whole process is so much lengthy and consumes a lot of time. The proposed system not only automates the meter readings but also provide the user with facility of prepaid electricity bill payment. Thus it is more user friendly. Also the existing system need not to be replaced just the additional hardware needsto be installed in existingmeters. 2. Scope of the project  The system will be used to provide bill to consumer both asan SMS along with other in-built featuressuch as tamper proof, fault detection.  The proposed energy meter utilizes a GSM module to transfer energy consumed to the authority side.

Conclusions The complete working model of a smart energy meter was built which usesexisting GSM system And E-Walletfacilityto recharge your meter. The model will satisfactorilyworkwith home appliances. Automatic meter readingandbillingcanbe explained well using the system. Financial losses of electricity board can be minimized. Labor charges and effort can be reduced. The error, time delay that occurs due to manual metering can be avoided to a great extent. Electrical line fault detection has been made easy for the electricity board. Finally but not the least this type of meter supports remote metering which is the future of energy meters. The smart meters will be part of a much wider IoT in the future integrating multiple aspects of human needs and servicesto satisfy such needs, and the analyticsrequirementsdiscussed, such as big data, real time analytics, stream analytics, will need to be built into the processes and workflows for diagnostics in real time. 4 Screenshot
