6LoWPAN based wireless electricity meter reading module

6LoWPAN protocol based wirelessCommunication module as low cost alternativefor GPRS based Smart Energy meters

Introdcution

• Energy saved is energy produced!

• Energy management can result in huge savings and paybacks.

• Government of India is promoting smart energy management system across the country.

• Presently smart electrical energy meters are based on GPRS technology which are costly and have recurring cost.

Advantages of SMART Metering

• 80-100 % improvement in billing efficiency

• Gives consumers better access to information and enables them to make more informed decisions on the use of electricity in their homes.

• Can immediately control AT&C losses, due to power pilferage, bypassing meters, defective meters, or errors in meter reading.

• Every kilowatt of power drawn from the grid is thus accounted for – and billed, thereby reviving DISCOM revenues

• Remote Disconnections feature may be present in case power bills are unpaid.

Solution : Our Idea

• 6LoWPAN protocol based wireless add on module

• To be installed on existing non smart energy meters.

• These add on modules can form a wireless network among themselves and can exchange data wirelessly.

• One of such add on module will have SIM-card based GPRS hardware with GPRS connectivity.

• One GPRS 6LoWPAN module connects all 6LoWPAN optical modules to internet.

• One Sim Card can serve 50 energy meters within its range.
