RFID BASED ENERGY METER

INTRODUCTION
A scheme of Electricity billing system called "PREPAID ENERGY
METER " can facilitate in improved cash flow management in energy
utilities and can reduces problem associated with billing consumer living
in isolated area and reduces deployment of manpower for taking meter
readings. Every consumer can recharge RFID tag assigned and recharge
its meter at various ranges (ie. Rs 50, Rs 100, Rs 200 etc).In our project
we have given the name for RFID tag card smart card. Consumer can
check its balance in LCD attached with the module and be prepare for
the next recharge in advance.

AN INTRODUCTION TO 8051
MICROCONTROLLER:

When we have to learn about a new computer we have to

familiarize about the machine capability we are using, and we can do it
by studying the internal hardware design (devices architecture), and also
to know about the size, number and the size of the registers.
A microcontroller is a single chip that contains the processor (the
CPU), non-volatile memory for the program (ROM or flash), volatile

memory for input and output (RAM), a clock and an I/O control unit.
Also called a "computer on a chip," billions of microcontroller units
(MCUs) are embedded each year in a myriad of products from toys to
appliances to automobiles. For example, a single vehicle can use 70 or
more microcontrollers. The following picture describes a general block
diagram of microcontroller.

INTRODUCTION TO RFID

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification

method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices
called RFID tags or transponders. The technology requires some extent
of cooperation of an RFID reader and an RFID tag.
An RFID tag is an object that can be applied to or incorporated into a
product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification and tracking
using radio waves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and
beyond the line of sight of the reader.

What is RFID?
A basic RFID system consists of three components:
a) An antenna or coil
b) A transceiver (with decoder)
c) A transponder (RF tag)

Electronically programmed with unique information. There are many

different types of RFID systems out in the market. They are categorized
according to their frequency ranges. Some of the most commonly used
RFID kits are as follows:

1) Low-frequency (30 KHz to 500 KHz)

2) Mid-Frequency (900KHz to 1500MHz)
3) High Frequency (2.4GHz to 2.5GHz)

These frequency ranges mostly tell the RF ranges of the tags from low
frequency tag ranging from 3m to 5m, mid-frequency ranging from 5m

to 17m and high frequency ranging from 5ft to 90ft. The cost of the
system is based according to their ranges with low-frequency system
ranging from a few hundred dollars to a high-frequency system ranging
somewhere near 5000 dollars.

Typical Applications for RFID
