The conventional mechanical energy meter is based on the phenomenon of “Magnetic Induction”. It has a rotating aluminum Wheel called Ferriwheel and many toothed wheels. Based on the flow of current, the Ferriwheel rotates which makes rotation of other wheels.

In addition to ASIC, analogue circuits, Voltage transformer, Current transformer etc are also present in EEM to “Sample” current and voltage. The ‘Input Data’ (Voltage) is compared with a programmed “Reference Data’ (Voltage) and finally a ‘Voltage Rate’ will be given to the output. This output is then converted into ‘Digital Data’ by the AD Converters (Analogue- Digital converter) present in the ASIC
Since IOT is cost effective compared to SMS, monitoring of energy meters at lower cost is made possible. Daily consumption reports are generated which can be monitored through Android application and/or web portal. Also, android users can pay their electric bills from their android application .
Non-android users can monitor and pay their bills online. The system is more reliable and accurate reading values are collected from energy meters.
The prepaid electricity billing meter could be widely used to provide a new more customized electricity billing system, where users may recharge when they intend to use that facility. It also consists of a GSM modem that allows the operator to recharge the meter remotely using am SMS message. This puts forward an innovative electricity billing and “use as needed” electricity usage scheme. It also eliminates the need for manual electricity meter reading tasks.
