Abstract

Power utilities in different countries especially in the developing ones are incurring huge losses due to electricity theft. This paper proposes a prepaid energy metering system to control electricity theft. In this system a smart energy meter is installed in every consumer unit and a server is maintained at the service provider side. Both the meter and the server are equipped with GSM module which facilitates bidirectional communication between the two ends using the existing GSM infrastructure. Consumers can easily recharge their energy meter by sending a PIN number hidden in a scratch card to the server using SMS. This paper presents some measures to control meter bypassing and tampering. The bidirectional GSM communication using SMS ensures the effectiveness of these measures. Pilferage of electricity can be substantially reduced by incorporating the proposed measures along with the prepaid metering scheme. Legal actions against dishonest consumers can also be taken in this system.

智能预付费能源计量系统,控制电力盗窃
各国特别是发展中国家的电力设施因电力盗窃而遭受巨大损失。本文提出了一种控制盗电的预付费电能计量系统。在这个系统中,智能电能表安装在每个用户单元中,服务器维护在服务提供商端。仪表和服务器均配备GSM模块,利用现有的GSM基础设施实现两端的双向通信。消费者可以通过短信将隐藏在刮刮卡中的个人识别码发送给服务器,从而轻松地为电能表充值。本文介绍了控制仪表旁通和篡改的一些措施。采用短信的双向GSM通信保证了这些措施的有效性。把建议的措施与预付电表计划结合起来,可大大减少盗电现象。对不诚实的消费者也可以采取法律行动。
