1. ABSTRACT
In this system, the hardware consists of Peripheral Interface Controller, power meter, transmission technique (GSM) and an output display, the software consists of programs that is user for the working of the system usually written in embedded C. Our new system is designed to attach with the existing K W meter in our house. This K W meter measures the consumption of electricity and interrupts the microcontroller. The microcontroller counts these interrupts and saves it in a nonvolatile memory and it also displays these counts and units on the LCD. Wireless module is used to communicate with the server. When server sends a request to client through these module. The microcontroller reads this request and sends back the current reading through the same media. When server sends the corresponding bill, it will display on the LCD with alarm.

3. INTRODUCTION
The Project entitled ‘Intelligent Power Meter’ refers to as it is a system that it helps to make a proper communication between the electricity board and customers. This system works on the principle of Embedded System.
3.1 EMBEDDED SYSTEM
Embedded system can be divided into two,
1. HARDWARE
2. SOFTWARE
In this system, the hardware consists of Peripheral Interface Controller, power meter, transmission technique (GSM) and an output display, the software consists of programs that is user for the working of the system usually written in embedded C
The main advantage of the system is to help the customers by an online contact with the electricity board by getting the correct bill for the corresponding readings from the meter.
Our new system is designed to attach with the existing K W meter in our house. This K W meter measures the consumption of electricity and interrupts the microcontroller. The microcontroller counts these interrupts and saves it in a nonvolatile memory and it also displays these counts and units on the LCD. Wireless module is used to communicate with the server. When server sends a request to client through these module. The microcontroller reads this request and sends back the current reading through the same media. When server sends the corresponding bill, it will display on the LCD with alarm.
On the server side, An application program on java / VB frequently sends the requests to the clients , and whenever it gets the reply ,it calculate s the bill and sends it back to the corresponding user. Here we are using GSM module as the wireless module
4. OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
Our aim is to develop a wireless duplex communication system between the consumer & the Electricity Board at minimum expenditure and maximum efficiency.
4.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
‘Intelligent Powered Meter’ is a micro controller based project designed for wireless communication purpose between client and server. This system is used for duplex transmission of data .The data (units used) is accepted as a count by the PIC. The input to the PIC is the pulse received from the Electronic meter. This count and unit is transmitted to a server as when a requested by the server. The server processes this information and sends it back to the consumer. Thus the consumer is updated on his energy usages instantly. The project uses GSM transmission protocol to establish the connection between client and server.
