Prepaid Electric Meter With Theft Alert

The study emphasizes pre-payment metering system, which would reduce the time and effort consumed by meter reading, bill processing, power transmission, and payment processing, making the power utilities to enhance the effectiveness of revenue collection in order to provide consumers with the greatest service possible. This paper introduces prepaid electricity systems to automatically limit electricity usage if the bill is unpaid and eliminate queues at electricity billing counters. The proposed model uses a message-sending module to establish a connection with authority. This smart wireless technology-driven model does not require a prepaid card to be installed, also it not only shows automated meter reading (AMR) but also opposes theft. Monitoring of pulse rate, total units consumed, and Energy is possible. The Meter parameters are discussed and the pulse power rate has been calculated. 1.04 watts is consumed in each pulse in the proposed model. The suggested approach prevents billing errors, late payments from customers, meter manipulation, and bypassing. The average home may lower their energy use by between 5 to 10% by utilizing prepaid electric meters.
