meters in India have dominantly been electromechanical in nature but are gradually being replaced by more sophisticated and accurate digital and electronic meters. A high percentage of electricity revenue is lost to power theft‚ incorrect meter reading and billing‚ and reluctance of consumers towards paying electricity bills on time. Considerable amount of revenue losses can be reduced by using Prepaid Energy Meters. A prepaid energy meter enables power utilities to collect energy bills from the

1. INTRODUCTION The project “Automated Electricity Meter” aims to move away from the traditional method of manual reading of electricity meters in which an individual has to physically record the reading. Instead the project proposes to successfully be able to take the meter reading automatically without having a person be physically present while taking the reading‚ thereby reducing manpower requirement. This system helps the users by alerting them about the peak loads (max energy consumption)

Electricity’s impact on Society Electricity has had multiple impacts on society both positve and negative. Electricity has had an effect on everyone in the world‚ even though some people have no understanding or have no use for electricity. For example‚ there are tribes in the Amazon who have never seen a lightbulb who have never beared witness too the heracy of Big brother and yet they are still effected by electricity. The chainsaws which cut down their beloved forests are designed by a man called

Submitted by Umesh Kumar Proposed Title Merchant Opportunities for power plants in India Abstract The concept was merchant power plant was introduced in India in 2003. With an existing huge demand supply gap of electricity in India‚ MPPs are considered to be panacea in the long run. Though the government has targeted capacity addition of 88‚000 MW in the 12th FYP it seems faltering purely basis the trend of delays observed in project commissioning and the after effects of economic slowdown

Electrostatic Field • An electrostatic field is a phenomenon that is very similar to a magnetic field. When an object is electrically charged‚ it creates an electrostatic field. If an object has an excess of electrons‚ then it’s considered to have a negative charge. If an object has fewer electrons than its surrounding environment‚ though‚ it’s considered to be positively charged. Just like with magnetic fields‚ two objects that are oppositely charged will attract each other. This scientific

Electricity Crisis (Load shedding) in Nepal INTRODUCTION Nepal is being ravaged by the electricity crisis. The electricity crisis of this millennium began in 2006. Nepal saw the last electricity crisis of the last millennium in 1999 and‚ with the commissioning of Khimti project in 2000‚ there was no load shedding through till 2005. Nepal was grappling with the problem of flood in the first week of August 2008‚ with resultant loss of life and limb as well as property in the hilly areas and
