Design and implementation of remotely located energy meter monitoring with load control and mobile billing system through GSM

Electricity, the most usable form of energy is used widely through the whole world. With the evolution of modern technology, the usage of electricity is escalating gradually. But the production of electricity is confined due to deficiency of resources. So power must be used in a concise way. In many countries, electrical energy is measured by energy meter which is inspected by a human. According to their inspection, the electric bills are prepared and most often these are prepared on the basis of assumption which could be inaccurate, costly, time-consuming as well as error prone. Due to the absence of regular monitoring system, sometimes consumer use electrical energy month after month without paying any bill. Energy meter monitoring and digital billing system is a kind of system which would be able to avoid traditional meter reading, save human resources, improve the accuracy and prevent the power theft. In this paper, a remote monitoring of energy meter and digital billing system is inaugurated through GSM 900. For monitoring server, major programming languages had been introduced to relate the methodologies, execute logical functions, store data in a database and send the monthly bill to the consumer cell phone number and finally disconnect the unpaid consumer.
