Design of Printed Circuit Board for Retrofit Kit of Smart Energy Meters

In the present electricity billing framework the distribution organizations can't monitor the changing demands of the consumers. The consumer is confronting issues like accepting due bills for charges that have just been paid and in addition poor reliability of power supply and quality regardless of whether bills are paid consistently. The solution for every one of these issues is to monitor the consumers load on real-time basis, which will be held to guarantee precise amount charging, track the most extreme request and detect the threshold value. In this paper, we propose a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design of a retrofit kit attached with the conventional electricity meter to make it smart and address the issues faced by both the consumers and the distribution organizations. The retrofit kit incorporates two wireless technologies i.e. Global System for Mobile (GSM) and Wi-Fi for data transfer ubiquitously. The resulted in smart energy meter (SEM) is robust and reliable one.
