Synopsis: Major Project
Prepaid Energy Meter
Motivation: .
As we know that today time is important and everyone wants to be out of the long billing queues as everyone is in hurry so we bring scheme of recharging meter just as we charge our cellular mobiles. In this system the consumers are required to purchase the electricity before consuming it. One gets a “token” in exchange. The token is used to “credit” the meter with “units of electricity” or “money value”. After the energy at credit is exhausted, the power is switched off to the consumer.
Problem Statement:
Basically we want to make a hardware system in which one can use the electricity until one is having the credit with the units of electricity in terms of token. The meter has a built in disconnecting device .and so the Consumption is restricted to payment. Automatic disconnection of the meter takes place on expiry of credit. The device is based on 8051 microcontroller. It uses IC-AT89S52 of 8051 family. The project is being made with the intention of getting into the practical application.
Overview of Method:
Prepaid meter is essentially an energy recorder cum controller. Controller in the sense that, after the energy at credit is exhausted, the power is switched off to the consumer. In this system the consumers are required to purchase the electricity before consuming it. Prepaid Metering Policy forms part of debt recovery and retailing. They also help the Corporation in managing its level of
