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

    Additionally, this electrical smart-grid allows customers to monitor their individual power use reducing household usage by up to 30% in some cases, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction. Although this may lead to a decrease in revenue for Xcel Energy, the smart-grid system enables integration of renewable generation, an increase in overall system efficiency, a more robust electrical system and an ability to recover under-utilized and wasted energy. We can’t say for sure, but this may actually benefit Xcel Energy in the long-run as they will recover lost revenue through their decreased operational costs using the smart-grid electrical system.…

    The ideal system for homeowner is the grid connected system in which excess power can be produced than be sold back to the industry and reduces the immediate debt of the system, making it extremely convenient and satisfying for homeowners that are skeptical of investing in any of these solar-capturing devices, because of the potential for these devices to be effective and justifiable over time, however arranging for grid interconnection can be tedious and difficult. On the other hand with standalone systems, they are proven to be more cost efficient than power lines. However, with standalone, surplus power gained would be wasted or be preserved in a battery that the system runs on, following this further, standalone systems are also dependent on a battery source to operate during the night, and in standalone systems like the Hybrid we see the need for other and more additional sources of energy like wind or diesel, that ultimately defeat the purpose to the development and use of these solar capturing devices.…

    1 Communication Module Cover It protects the communication module of the meter, and provides easy access for technician during maintenance. 2 Nameplate Label Gives the basic technical information about the meter and its serial number. Each meter is assigned a unique individual serial number, and the first four digits are the meter code followed by a six digit serial number. 3 LCD This is the display which shows the total electricity consumption, and for the smart power tariff, it will also display the electricity consumption of the different tariff rates. The meter is also programmed to display the time and date. 4 Test LEDs (Wh and VArh) The light (LED) will pulse (on & off) when electricity is being used, and these pulses get faster as electricity consumption increases. 5 Phase Indicators These indicate the active voltage presents of each phase.

    These devices are the “brains” of the smart grid system. They create a virtual energy network – collecting data from “smart meters” installed at the end user locations as well as data from other digital equipment on the power lines, then send it over a wireless network back to Duke Energy and then back to the customer. The “smart meters” installed at the end user locations give the communication nodes, installed on the transformers, something to talk about. Valuable data about a home or business usage is in constant streaming mode to Duke Energy. This data allows Duke to lower or raise production during high or low usage times. Without the Smart Grid, Duke’s output is at best a guessing game, and in fact during the day, up to 30% of electricity produced by Duke can go…

    Smart Grid Summary

    • 296 Words
    • 2 Pages

    It is a reality that existing traditional model of electricity generation and distribution is very old and not efficient. Technological advances applied in every sector nowadays but not in electricity generation model. As a result of high demand, the traditional model has become too costly, and now oil costs increased, and especially coal-fired generation has contributed to environmental pollution. And traditional model has big problems in terms of security since some big horrendous experiences with electricity deregulations and blackouts. A Smart Model is defined as distributed generation, renewable energy, renewable portfolio standards and the Smart Grid. This model responds to concerns about energy, environment and security. Distributed Generation aims to make production locally instead of large regional heavy grids for transmission and distribution. Solar cells and wind tribunes will take the place. The goal in changing the production type to small scale is, economic efficiencies by removing producers from the grid, environmental benefits , energy efficiencies , energy security advantages from terroristic attack, catastrophic accidents.. Article also put emphasis on pricing electricity. Traditional model is based on an average cost of electric generation no matter using it in a peak demand time or a regular time. Peak time electric generation cost is more expensive than regular hours because existing system has older and inefficient generation plants which are normally not used but being used to fulfill high demand in peak hours and also distribution cost is high because of high demand for electricity creates transmission congestion. Smart pricing provides marginal cost will give a more comfortable using style to consumer and help to conservation of energy. In last part of the article express with mathematical calculations that installation of smart meters is highly cost-effective than adding new generation and transmission capacity to existing electrical…

    What is a prepaid water meter? www.apf.org.za states that there are several types of prepaid water meters but the idea behind them is the same. If you cannot pay upfront, you are unable to access water. Water from prepaid water meters typically cost more than water billed from the utility. As a result, those in most need are denied access to water. www.apf.org.za goes on to say, that in the United States, the typical prepaid water meter is used in areas without access to water infrastructure. The users are poor, often immigrant workers, who travel long distances to collect water from the meters. To get water you drop quarters into the slot and place your bucket at the faucet.…
