CHAPTER
(Hardware Modelling)
Main features of the prototype
The features of the developed prototype are:
LCD display (showing the unit and balance)
Communication between user and provider
Prepaid recharge of energy meter.
Intimation for low balance.
Power cut occur if there is insufficient balance
Cost effective
Overview of the Project
The working of the project is described in the fig. At first the GSM module is
initialized and it establishes a network for communicating with the user. After
initialization the controller checks the balance if it is above optimum balance then
the load is turned on. If the balance is below a certain value then the controller will
send a SMS for recharging the energy account.
