A SMART PREPAID ENERGY METERING SYSTEM TO
CONTROL ELECTRICITY THEFT
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.
