 OBJECTIVE
To detect the power theft
To ensure wireless electricity billing
 ABSTRACT
Electricity theft detection and wireless billing
system
The person need not have to go home to note
down the meter readings
The energy consumption details of each house
can be transmitted to electricity board using
GSM module
Power theft in each line will be regularly
monitored at substation
 INTRODUCTION
In India nearly 32% of electricity is consumed
illegally
Electricity is indispensible to domestic and
industrial development
The system can be used to detect the theft of
electricity
Every year electricity companies fare the line
losses at an average of 20-30%

GSM Module
Energy meter
LCD(24*4)
RTC
 MICROCONTROLLER
PIC16F877A
40 pin IC
5 I/O ports
Inbuilt EEPROM
 RELAY

SPST RELAY
10A 12V
RELAY
 GSM
 Uses the extremely popular SIM300 GSM
module
 interface for easy connection to computers
and other devices
 Can be used for GSM based Voice
communications, Data/Fax, SMS,GPRS and
TCP/IP stack
 Contd…
 Comes with an onboard wire antenna
 The SIM300 allows an adjustable serial baud
rate from 1200 to 115200 bps
 Operating Voltage: 7-15V AC or DC,0.25 -1A
 ENERGY METER
The energy meter is an electrical measuring
device
It is used to record electrical energy
consumed over a specified period of time in
terms of units.
Induction type energy meter has higher
efficiency
 Measures instantaneous volts and amperes.
 RTC

Real time clock

8 pin IC
To set time period
