Abstract :
Electricity is one of the basic requirements of human beings, which is widely used for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes. There is a great demand for electricity and in spite of very well developed alternate sources for electricity, there are lot of problems in connection with distribution and metering. The traditional electro-mechanical meters, still widely used today are prone to drift over temperature and time as a result of mechanical nature of the components in the meter. The problem worsens further in collecting the meter readings and generating the bill. In this paper we suggest a method where we utilize telecommunication systems for automated transmission of data to facilitate bill generation and payment of the same at the customerspsila place.
