Development of a Smart Power Meter for AMI Based on ZigBee

Communication

The wireless communicationnetwork can be utilized for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure(AMI). Therefore, this paper tries to use the new wireless communication technologies to design and implement a ZigBee-based smart power meter. An outage recording system is also designed and embedded into the smart meter. The microcontroller of Microchip AtmeL89S52 series is used to develop the proposed smart power meter.

A ZigBee system is then deigned and integrated into the proposed power meter, and used to transmit the detailed power consumption data and outage event data to rear-end processing system.

Abstract:

While most of the power meters are still mechanical ones without digitization. An AMI consists of smart meter, communication technology, meter data management, and associated software and hardware

ZigBee, a low-speed LR-WPAN (Low-Rate Wireless Area Personal Network) based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard, is one of them.

The microcontroller of Microchip ATMEL89S52 series is used to develop a smart power meter.

Introduction

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) refers to systems that measure, collect and analyses energy usage, and interact with advanced devices such as electricity meters, gas meters, heat meters, and water meters, through various communication media either on request (on-demand) or on pre-defined schedules

AMI

AMI differs from traditional Automatic meter reading (AMR) in that it enables two-way communications with the meter.

Systems only capable of meter readings do not qualify as AMI systems.

IN old method they used GSM communication

system for transmitting the readings.

EXISTING

In this we are using AMI(Advanced metering infrastructure) for calculating the readings.

By using zigBee communication for transmitting the data’s

The microcontroller of microchip ATMEL89S52 series is used to develop the smart power meter
