Abstract - Our project is a working model which
incorporates sensors to measure parameters like Voltage
and current. An Arduino microcontroller board is used for
analyzing the inputs from the LED bulb. This project
provides a device which will continuously monitor the
vital parameters to be monitored for a Energy Metering.
This is very useful for future analysis and review of energy
metering condition. For more applications, this project can
be improvised, by incorporating node mcu sensors and IoT
technology systems, thereby making it useful in electrical
industry as a very efficient and dedicated energy metering
system. IoT is becoming a major platform for many
services & applications, also using Node MCU not just as a
sensor node but also a controller here. Paper proposes a
Smart energy metering system as a step forward to the
progress made in this department till now.
Key Words: Arduino UNO, GSM, Node MCU, IOT, Smart
energy.
1. INTRODUCTION
With the developing populace of India and its growing
electric powered strength needs, the strength gadget has
grown swiftly over beyond 50 years. At present, on the
quit of each month someone from power board is going to
each residence and take the meter readings manually that
are used for power invoice calculations, that is a gradual
and hard process. In this traditional billing gadget humans
attempt to control the meter analyzing with the aid of
using adopting diverse corrupt practices together with
bypassing supply, magnetic interference etc. Thus the
traditional billing technique is inaccurate, costlier, time
eating and has loss of transparency, for this reason that is
inflicting a stark quantity of sales loss to the distribution
companies. Therefore, numerous tries had been made to
triumph over a lot of these drawbacks of traditional billing
gadget. Even aleven though the meters are made digital,
the method of billing is same. Therefore the scope of this
paper is to layout and broaden a clever strength meter
that gives each the providers and customers with
consumer pleasant services.
1.1 Aim and Objective:
Aim:
The aim of the project is to transfer the EB bill
automatically through mobile phone by using GSM
technology and IOT concept without any employees and
has a additional feature of storing data and monitoring
them over the cloud.
Objective:
 To make energy consumption prepaid.
 To centralize the control of all energy meters.
 To prevent power thefts at consumer premises.
 To reduce cost of man power for billing
2. Literature Review
For Communication, to the server, many alternatives are
there as wi-fi or stressed inclusive of cable networks, and
the special GSM modules, which can be recognized via way
of means of researchers. Different Countries Trying to put
into force this idea. From the special papers, we've got
special studies paintings concerning our new concept. In
paper [1] (2014) Pradip Kulkarni and Manisha Shinde
have posted a paper on the automation of the strength
billing technique in that new structure that the strength
board has a guide technique and to cast off that technique
they added a module wherein information is amassed
from the energy, water and switch to the centralized
station from the billing purpose. The information has
accrued the usage of an unmarried digital digicam, this
means that the digital digicam is located in the front of the
meter of everyone’s residence and the digital digicam will
seize a photo of the meter and the server will immediately
fetch that information from every residence in order that
human interplay is definitely avoided. ARM7-LPC 2138 is
used because of the interface among the devices. After
that, the photo will attain the server and undergoes the
special processing thru Matlab, in order that each month's
analysis is saved withinside the database of the strength
board. So the era used on this paper turned into photo
segmentation and the AMR, Zigbee, so the blessings of this

era had been this era is used properly, and the downside
for this structure turned into that it's far costly. In
paper[2](2015) R.G.Yadawad has posted on sensible
strength billing and the renovation gadget wherein new
manner of billing technique there had been many mistakes
withinside the special fashions which had been added in
advance so on this paper the version used turned into thru
cell agents. This paper tells us the how the brand new
structure is greater viable for the usage of cell agents
3. Scope of the Project
 Better management of total energy usage and get
details about the amount and timing of your
energy use, so we can adjust accordingly and save
money.
 Advanced meter data can be used to compare
costs between competing utilities and to arrange
for bulk-rate purchasing.
 Identify and implement operational strategies to
control load factor, peak load requirements and
reduce energy waste and understand the
consumption patterns.
4. Microcontroller
A micro-controller is a small pc on a single integrated
circuit containing a processor core, memory, and
programmable input/ output peripherals The vital
component for us is that amicro-controller incorporates
the processor (which all computer systems have) and
memory, and a few input/output pins that you may
control. (regularly known as GPIO - General Purpose Input
Output Pins).
ATmega328P
We will be using the Arduino Uno board. This combines a
micro-controller along with all of the extras to make it
easy for you to build and debug your projects. The Uno is a
microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P.
5. GSM Modem
Global device for molecular communication (GSM) is a
globally set up style for virtual cell communication. GSM is
the selection of a standardization corporation mounted in
1982 to create a common vicinity of European molecular
cell smartphone present day that could formulate specs
for a pan-European molecular cellular radio device
working at 900 MHz.
GSM gives recommendations, no longer necessities. The
GSM specs outline the competencies and interface
necessities in elements however now do now no longer
deal with the hardware. The motive for that is to restrict
the designers as low as viable however although to make it
viable for the operators to shop for devices from precise
suppliers. The GSM community is broken up into 3 crucial
systems: the switching device (SS), the bottom station
device (BSS), and the operation and aid device (OSS). The
primary GSM community factors are proven in the below
figure.
GSM Network Element
5. Arduino IDE
The Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
is Software to increase the coding withinside the
environment. The Coding is advanced after which execute
the process The all of the modules strolling in Embedded C
software program coding.

Program 1
Program 2
7. Working of autonomous billing system
The above two progarm is used to calculate the power by
using formula power=voltage*current. The voltage and
current received by Arduino UNO form current tranformer
and power transformer.The power is converted into unit
by using unit=power/1000.Then calculate the total
amount for power consumed. the amount per unit is 5Rs
so total amount is total unit*amount per unit.then this
information transfer to GSM modul it transfer the EB bill
through mobile as SMS and also it as additional future like
store the information in cloud for consumer verfication in
future.
8. Analysis of results & discussion
GSM transfer the bill to mobile
Data stored in cloud
The advantages of this Model are:
 Automation of all features including
communication from the EB meter to the
customer and EB office.
 Saves data using node MCU in cloud.
 It includes much less fee to communicate. This
device will increase productivity.

9. Conclusion
By implementation of this project, the metering system is
totally enhanced with modern technology. The whole
process of operation can be centralized and can be
extended to long distances by GSM modem. This project is
quite time saving and provides user friendly services. This
proposed Automated EB model includes an prototype
module which has a Arduino Microcontroller. This module
is used to make notice of the quantity of energy fed on via
way of means of the consumer This EB workplace module
calculates the facts and sends it to the consumer. The
consumer additionally receives information of the invoice
on his cell phone
