Abstract
As a part of measure to make electricity accessible to every
indian, to overcome the problem of overbilling,
Meter tempering and to ensure a cost effective operation,
we have introduced the prepaid electricity system. The user
receives message on their mobile phones about the units
they purchased via GSM technology. When the units
purchased became equal to the units consumed, the relay
performed its function by switching off the electricity
system. The warning message was sent to user mobile
through GSM technology before the disconnection of
electricity. Hardware model is also designed using GSM
module.
 Existing System
 In Olden Days The Production Was Stopped When The
Power Generation Is Lower Than The Threshold Level.
Afterwards They Introduced Manual Switching Circuit
Breakers. Till Today We Are Using A Postpaid Connections
For Electricity Without Any Power Thefting Security.
 Proposed System
 Here We Are Proposing A New System To Avoid
The Thefting Of Current With Current Meters
And To Implement The Prepaid Billing Systems.
With This System We Can Give Specific Amount
Of Current Based On Their Prepaid Amount.
Advantages Of Proposed
System
 To Prevent The Current Thefting

 To Limit The Power Usage By Using The

Prepaid Billing System.

Working
 This system how to work, you have an ac power
supply connected through your meter. then your meter
should be connected to the 8051 microcontroller
which will use its PWM to count the pulse where you
will base your balance and the amount of KW/H.
 The Energy Meter is Connected to a load passing
through a relay .
 A GSM Module is also in use for loading balance and
activating the on of switch of the system.
 An LCD display to show the balance loaded to the
system and how much KW is left to consume

2. 8051 MICROCONTROLLER:

 8051 microcontroller is designed by Intel in

1981. It is an 8-bit microcontroller. It is built with
40 pins DIP (dual inline package), 4kb of ROM
storage and 128 bytes of RAM storage, 2 16-bit
timers. It consists of are four parallel 8-bit ports,
which are programmable as well as
addressable as per the requirement. An on-
chip crystal oscillator is integrated in the
microcontroller having crystal frequency of 12
MHz.

 Liquid crystal display is very important device in

embedded system. It offers high flexibility to user
as he can display the required data on it. A liquid
crystal display (LCD) is a thin, flat electronic
visual display that uses the light modulating
properties of liquid crystals (LCs). LCs do not
emit light directly. LCDs therefore need a light
source and are classified as "passive" displays.
Here the lcd has different memories to display
data, those are discussed below.
4. RELAYS :
 A relay is an electrically operated switch. These are
remote control electrical switches that are controlled
by another switch, such as a horn switch or a computer
as in a power train control module, devices in
industries, home based applications. Relays allow a
small current pin, 4-pin, 5-pin, and 6-pin, single switch
or dual switches. Relays are used throughout the
automobile. Relays which come in assorted sizes,
ratings, and applications, are used as remote control
switches. A typical vehicle can have 20 relays or more.
5.GSM:
Definition of GSM:
 GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) is an
open, digital cellular technology used for transmitting mobile
voice and data services.
 GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) is a digital
mobile telephone system that is widely used in Europe and
other parts of the world. GSM uses a variation of Time
Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and is the most widely
used of the three digital wireless telephone technologies
(TDMA, GSM, and CDMA). GSM digitizes and compresses
data, then sends it down a channel with two other streams of
user data, each in its own time slot. It operates at either the
900 MHz or 1,800 MHz frequency band. It supports voice
calls and data transfer speeds of up to 9.6 kbit/s, together
with the transmission of SMS (Short Message Service).
6. Current Sensor
 Measuring a voltage in any system is a “passive” activity as
it can be done easily at any point in the system without
affecting the system performance. However, current
measurement is “intrusive” as it demands insertion of some
type of sensor which introduces a risk of affecting system
performance.
 Current measurement is of vital importance in many power
and instrumentation systems. Traditionally, current sensing
was primarily for circuit protection and control. However,
with the advancement in technology, current sensing has
emerged as a method to monitor and enhance performance.

Conclusion
 The project Prepaid electricity meter with theft
detection has been implemented successfully and
has applications in households especially in rural
areas. This system can be adopted widely because of
its low cost and also because it stops revenue
leakage to the already burdened electricity boards
because of electricity theft. The main advantage of
this project is its low cost solution for prepaid
metering of electricity usage and also stops theft of
electricity at household level. The facility of tamper
detection stops any intrusions by the user into the
electricity meter to alter or stop the calculation of
units being consumed.
