A Review on Digitalized Electricity Billing System Using ZIGBEE

Abstract

This paper present a developed Automatic Meter Reading system for Energy Management using
ZIGBEE. The proposed system monitors the amount of electricity of every consumer at all the time. This digital energy
management system will overcome the current old method of electricity billing process. It will eliminate the need for
employing Electricity Board meter readers and this set of employees can be used elsewhere. In the case of any un payment
of billing the system will give the alerts through an alarm circuit. After the alarm circuit, the consumer has to take an
alternative solution to pay bill. Otherwise, the circuit breaker will come into OFF position and the supply will be trippingoff coming from EB. The information about the particular consumer will be sent to EB through GSM (Global System for
Mobile Communication Network).Then, the consumer has to give the requisition to EB for making the circuit breaker
coming into normal with the help of AMR microcontroller, which is programmed to monitor the parameters of electrical
energy. This system helps to avoid illegal usage of electricity, monitoring the energy. The implementation and
demonstration of the system were made.
