| description | Utility metering system refers to mete
ring devices installed in almost every
building throughout the country, such as k
ilowatt-hour meter, water meter and gas
meter in some places in Malaysia. Through meter reading, the utility offices are able
to measure the amount of power, water and gas consumptions per month and collect
respective charges. However, manual mete
r reading is both time consuming and
ineffective.
This project consists of two parts: to
explore different methods of remote
meter reading, using either
wireless or communication
over power line technology;
and to develop the most effective remote
metering system suitable for local market.
Remote meter reading also refers to
automated meter reading (AMR) in some
countries.
This paper studies the fundamentals a
nd characteristic of
different meter
reading acquisitions systems, in order to
develop the most suitable system for local
applications. Apart from data acquisition, the paper also discusses the fundamentals
of power, water and gas metering system
. Advantages and di
sadvantages of both
wireless and power line communication are
compared and the most effective meter
reading system for local
market is developed. |
