The
development of an Automatic Power Meter Reading (APMR) system is presented in this paper. The APMR system is consists of Digital Power meters installed in every substation. The Digital Power meter (DPM) is a single phase digital kWh power meter with embedded ZIGBEE modem which utilizes the ZIGBEE network to send its power usage reading wirelessly. At the receiver side an LCD displays the current and voltage readings and the power along with power loss, update the database.
This
project aims at wireless communication between substations using ZIGBEE module. Automatic meter reading (APMR) is an effective means of data collection that allow substantial saving through the reduction of meter re-read , greater data accuracy. With the advent of digital technology analog electro-mechanical meter is continuously replaced by digital electronic meter. ZAPMR has wide coverage and retrieve meter reading back wirelessly. The most important of these are performance and reliability

The
operation of power supply circuits built using filters, rectifiers, and then voltage regulators. Starting with an AC voltage, a steady DC voltage is obtained by rectifying the AC voltage, Then filtering to a DC level, and finally, regulating to obtain a desired fixed DC voltage. The regulation is usually obtained from an IC voltage regulator Unit, which takes a DC voltage and provides a somewhat lower DC voltage, Which remains the same even if the input DC voltage varies, or the output Load connected to the DC voltage changes.

TX RX
PTs
or VTs are the most common devices used. These devices are conventional transformers with two or three windings (one primary with one or two secondary). They have an iron core and magnetically couple the primary and secondary. The high side winding is constructed with more copper turns than the secondary(ies), and any voltage impressed on the primary winding is reflected on the secondary windings in direct proportion to the turns ratio or PT ratio.
current transformer (CT) is a type of instrument transformer designed to provide a current in its secondary winding proportional to the alternating current flowing in its primary. They are commonly used in metering and protective relaying in the electrical power industry where they facilitate the safe measurement of large currents, often in the presence of high voltages. The current transformer safely isolates measurement and control circuitry from the high voltages typically present on the circuit being measured.
PIC microcontroller and write the code to initialize the USART and use it to send and receive data Data you need to transmit and it will do the rest. It transmits data at standard speeds of 9600,19200 bps etc The advantage of hardware USART is that you just need to write the data to one of the registers of USART and your done, you are free to do other things while USART is transmitting the byte. USART automatically senses the start of transmission of RX line and then inputs the whole byte and when it has the byte it informs you(CPU) to read that data from one of its registers
RS232 standard is an asynchronous serial communication method. The word serial means, that the information is sent one bit at a time. Asynchronous tells us that the information is not sent in predefined time slots. Data transfer can start at any given time and it is the task of the receiver to detect when a message starts and ends.
The
USART always transmits data on pin RC6/TX The USART always receives data on pin RC7/RX The RS-232 standard defines lots of other signals other than TX and RX used for handshaking.
relay is an electrical switch that opens and closes under the control of another electrical circuit. In the original form, the switch is operated by an electromagnet to open or close one or many sets of contacts.
Diagram that a relay uses an electromagnet. This is a device consisting of a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. When electricity is applied to the coil of wire it becomes magnetic, hence the term electromagnet. The A B and C terminals are an SPDT switch controlled by the electromagnet. When electricity is applied to V1 and V2, the electromagnet acts upon the SPDT switch so that the B and C terminals are connected. When the electricity is disconnected, then the A and C terminals are connected. It is important to note that the electromagnet is magnetically linked to the switch but the two are NOT linked electrically
ZigBee

Low in cost ,complexity & power consumption as compared to competing technologies. Intended to network inexpensive devices Data rates touch 250Kbps for 2.45Ghz ,40 Kbps 915Mhz and 20Kbps for 868Mhz band.
The HD44780U dot-matrix liquid crystal display controller and driver LSI displays alphanumeric, Japanese kana characters, and symbols. It can be configured to drive a dot-matrix liquid crystal display under the control of a 4or 8-bit microprocessor. Since all the functions such as display RAM, character generator, and liquid crystal driver, required for driving a dot-matrix liquid crystal display are internally provided on one chip, a minimal system can be interfaced with this controller/driver A single HD44780U can display up to one 8-character line or two 8-character lines The low power supply (2.7V to 5.5V) of the HD44780U is suitable for any portable battery-driven product requiring low power dissipation

Using
zigbee accurate values is being taken for nearly two substations and is being transmitted to the administrative office. In this external load is being added . Loads can be varied by using potentiometer. Since data logging is done it is very useful to get back all the data. Automatic power shut down is done in case of high input given.

Utility
In this paper we have shown the updated power readings and the way of detecting power loss. Traditional meter reading for electricity consumption is done by human operator from station to station. This requires huge number of labor operators and long working hour to achieve complete area data reading. Human being may make errors while noting so to overcome all those problems we have introduced ZIGBEE a wireless modem The development of a ZIGBEE Automatic Power Meter Reading (APMR) system is presented in this paper. So by using ZIGBEE huge work is reduced and also labors. It is a wireless modem through which readings are displayed and can be monitored without any effort and also readings are data logged for future reference. At the receiver side the meter reading , updated database is obtained.
It
is useful to check for power loss and safe guard circuit from damage. WIFI can be used to cover a maximum area.
