This paper deals with automatic meter reading and theft control system in energy meter. Current transformer is used to measure the total power consumption for house or industrial purpose. This recorded reading is transmitted to the electricity board for every 60 days once. For transmitting the reading of energy meter GSM module is used. To avoid theft, infrared sensor is placed in the screw por...

Objectives: To present a Smart Energy Meter (SEM) that reduces errors effectively while generating the electricity bill. Methods: This SEM confluence of modern technology and existing electrical architecture, yet it is low-cost device suitable for Indian environment. The proposed only incorporated with current sensor other associated circuitry. Findings: A quantitative comparison between our SE...

Reading a rotary dial utility meter can be difficult and, more importantly, inaccurate. This paper has developed a computationally efficient method to read a rotary dial utility meter via image processing. The method has been developed as an algorithm with the ultimate goal of implementing the system with a microprocessor and inexpensive camera. The algorithm registers successive dial images, s...
