In the present scenario, electronic metering technology has gone through rapid technological advancements and there is an increased demand for a reliable and efficient automatic meter reading system. The objective of this research article is to design a simple low cost wireless Zigbee energy meter and its associated user interface for managing the collected data globally. The proposed system replaces traditional meter reading methods and enables remote access of existing energy meter by the energy provider. Also the meter readings can be monitored regularly without the person visiting each industrial unit area. A Zigbee based wireless communication module is integrated with electronic energy meter of each entity to have remote access over the usage of electricity. Live meter reading from the Zigbee enabled energy meter is sent back to this reading periodically and these details are updated in a central database. It is concluded that, our proposed system helped in saving cost and time as compared to the conventional method of getting the meter reading.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.24327/ijcar.2017.7033.1066
