As per the central electricity authority of India, more than 27% of all power produced is either lost due to power theft or unpaid electricity bills. This paper proposes a smart meter that deals with the issue of power theft and pending bills. In the proposed system GSM module is used for establishing a Bi-directional communication between utility and consumer. Microcontroller controls the supply to the consumer by sending commands to solid state relay (SSR). In the proposed system energy meter IC is used for calculating the power consumption by the load. This data is stored in EEPROM of microcontroller. The proposed system has the provision of sending SMS to the user at the end of every billing cycle. Consumer can also connect and disconnect the power supply with just a SMS. Proposed meter in this paper is developed with a power theft logic that not only detects the power theft but also immediately disconnects the power supply of that particular consumer and also alerts the distribution company by sending a SMS. The energy meter proposed in this paper eliminates the disadvantages of conventional billing by eliminating human errors and proposes a prepaid energy billing system that is more accurate, reliable and user friendly.
