Prepaid Energy Meter (AT89S52)
A scheme of Electricity billing system called "PREPAID ENERGY METER WITH TARIFF INDICATOR" 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 buy a memory card (is nothing but an EEPROM IC) with a password stored inside it using a MC program. The memory card is available at various ranges (ie. Rs 50, Rs 100, Rs 200 etc).In our project we have given the name for memory card as smart card.

When the consumer insert a smart card into the card reader which is connected kit.Then the card reader will read the stored information and delete the information from the EEPROM IC(smart card) using the MC program. So that the smart card cannot be reused by others. Suppose if a consumer buy a card for Rs.50/- he / she can insert this amount through the card reader so that prepaid energy meter with tariff indicator kit will be activated. According to the power consumption the amount will be reduced. When the amount is over, the relay will automatically shutdown the whole system. In our project we also have a provision to give an alarm sound to consumer before the whole amount is reduced.

You can also find the Card programmer circuit and program from the download. So that you can easily create your own cards.

Here's the procedure to create the cards.

How to program a new card.

For making a unit price card for Rs 2.50

1. Insert the card into the Programmer

2. Dial 1*0250#

Prepaid Energy Meter using GSM

INTRODUCTION:
This project is based on VTU syllabus. The proposed system is based on ATMEL 89S52 µcontroller which is in our syllabus.
For doing this project we use some of the software like v Embedded C for programming the application software to the microcontroller. v Protel schematic software is used for designing the circuit diagram for this project. v Express PCB software is used for designing the PCB for this project.
(Since PCB making is a big process and involves lot of machineries which are expensive, we are going to outsource this to the manufacturer.)
ABSTRACT:
Every month we can see a person standing in front of our house from Electricity board or water Board whose duty is to read the energy meter/water meter and handover the bills (electric or water) to the owner of that house . This is nothing but meter reading. According to that reading we have to pay the bills. The main drawback of this system is that person has to go area by area and he has to read the meter of every house and handover the bills. The Electricity board and Water authority has to give privileges for these people to do their duty monthly. The thing is, Government will not appoint any particular persons for this duty. The people working in these boards will go on a particular day and do their duty leaving all their pending works. Due to this, their work will be delayed and this is great loss for government. To overcome this drawback we have come up with an idea and this idea will help the government and it will save the time of the employees working in these boards.
The aim of the project is to automate the prepaid billing of energy meter and water meter. In this project the front end is User friendly and the employees can work on this software with minimum knowledge of Computers. Employees can read the meter by sitting in the Office. For front end designing Java is used.
COMPONENTS USED: v Microcontroller : AT89C51 v Real Time Clock : DS1307 v EEPROM Memory : AT24C04 (4K) v LCD : 2×16 characters v Power Supply : 5v DC v GSM modem : 900/1800 MHz
SOFTWARES USED: v Embedded v KEIL m-vision
WORKING PRINCIPLE:
This project is useful for billing purpose in Electricity board and in water authority. Instead of going to every house & taking the readings, in this project by just sending an SMS we can receive the readings of the house and we can recharge the electric bill. This system uses Java Basics software, which is designed as the application platform to send or receive SMS using the Modem, then process and stores the data. Java software has two main functions 1) to interact with Modem and read the COM port 2) maintain the database.
In this project the micro controller & the GSM unit is interfaced with the Energy meter/water meter of each house. Every house has a separate number, which is given by the corresponding authority. The GSM unit is fixed in the energy meter/water meter.
The amount of consumption is stored in memory authority as SMS. Using this software we can send the SMS through Modem to that particular number which is assigned by these authorities and wait for the response. On other end the modem will receive the data in the form of a command and informs the controller to do the readings. After the readings the controller will send data to the modem. Modem, in turn sends data to the other end. In the office the GSM unit will receive the data and the Java software will calculate the total consumption. The number assigned by the authorities is Unique. Using GSM we can get the response very fast due to which time is saved. After completion of the pulse the power will cut again consumer wants to send an SMS for recharge.
This is due to reduce illegal power using with out paying the money.

The United Energy Smart Meter Project

...United Energy Smart Meter Project At the request of the Victorian Government United Energy is currently engaging in “best efforts” to replace the analogue meters on its network with smart meters. Smart meters are an advanced energy meter that measures the energy consumption of a consumer (Depuru, Wang and Devabhaktuni 2011), they allow for demand response energy distribution based on on-peak and off-peak consumption. The benefits of Smart meters are well recognised by many counties with world-wide deployment of digital meters expected to reach 212 million units by 2014, perceived benefits include; energy efficiency, environmental benefits, more consumer choice, better services and greater market competition. (Gerwen, Jaarsma & Wilhite R 2009, Filippini, Hrovatin & Zoric 2004, Victorian Auditor General 2009) About United Energy United Energy is an energy distributor responsible for the infrastructure required to distribute energy from the power station to the consumer. There are currently 16 major distribution networks in Australia with each energy distributor maintaining a monopoly over its designated area. (AEC 2009) Energy distributors own, operate and maintain the network of infrastructure that transports electricity from the generator to the consumer. They do not work directly with the consumer and instead work with energy retailers who are responsible for managing the relationship with the consumer. Energy retailers will bulk purchase energy from an energy generator...

An Ordinary Person

...The poem An Ordinary Person by Rabindranath Tagore is about how humans do not appreciate the things around them and how they want the things that they do not have. The poem also shows how humans are constantly attracted to things that are foreign to them. The literary device allegory is very important to this poem. The poem could be seen as a poem a poem about a man simply going to the future and becoming the center of attention because he has been resurrected. However, the poem could also be interpreted as how humans do not see the extraordinary things in the world around them and how they don’t seem to care about their ordinary world. In the poem, the peasant man seems to be sent into the future, where everyone adores him. All the people, “besiege him on all sides,” and take every word from his mouth. They are eager to know everything about him because, to them, he is extraordinary. This relates to real life where humans do not see or care for the average people around them. The peasant, like everyone else, is extraordinary even though they are not usually seen as anything but normal. The poem shows the flaw in humans, where it takes a work for people to see someone in a different light. The rhythm of the poem is also important. When reading the poem, the poem first seems to starts off steady and slow. Then, near line eight, the rhythm of the poem picks up and seems more demanding. The words feel sharp and the come out very fast and emotionally. It feels as if though the...

Poetry

...The poem "Miss Consolation for Emotional Damages" by Laura Kasischke has a uneven stanzas, it was made as a free verse poem. The speaker of the poem is a dramatic persona, because Laura Kasischke in the poem she is refering to everything as an "it," eventhought the "it" could be the poet herself. For example, where it says "It had been born," this gives us a clear personification. The poet in this poem is talking about shame, of how her mother who supposed to be an example for their children she is seen by "the boy next door, who'd seem my mother drunk." But then the poet is talking how she is confused, and it seems like they went to another country where "It couldn't speak the language," she is even more confused. At the end of the poem she is lacking meaning or sense to the new language and ideas that aren't hers but the new county is lifeless and artificial. The tone of the poem is sarcasrtic. There is a social message promoted where it talks about the mother who is drunk, but it could also be a personal message. The poem "Nineteen" by Elizabeth Alexander has four stanzas, and even though she did not end each line with punctuation, each stanza ended in periods. I think this was done to let the reader know she was completing her thought. The speaker of the poem is the poet.

Hawk Roosting

...Ted Hughes poem Hawk Roosting can be interpreted in two very different ways. Firstly, it explores -on a literal level- the hawk celebrating itself and its power and control over nature. Hughes begins the poem by writing ‘I sit in the top of the wood, my eyes closed’ which comments on where the hawk sits in the food chain; at the top, and also suggests that as well as being the ruler of nature he rules blind. Further down in stanza 3 and 4 Hughes portrays the Hawk as almost godlike as he includes a link with the idea that god creates and is in control of life and death. ‘I kill where I please because it is all mine’ reveals how the Hawk believes he owns and holds everything, including life and death, in his claws. The Hawk sees himself as omniscient and everything else as its prey. Similarly, the lines ‘It took the whole of creation to produce my foot, my feather; now I hold creation in my foot’ (line12) demonstrate how he was created by nature and now he is in control of it. Again in stanza 4, we were told that the Hawk has ‘no sophistry in his body’ meaning that all his actions are justified. How it is his nature to be violent and aggressive (portrayed in the line ‘my manners are tearing of heads’) and that there is no animal above him who could challenge him (portrayed in the line ‘no arguments assert my right’), therefore he has the control to do whatever he likes with out any competition. Finally, the Hawks arrogance is demonstrated mainly in the last stanzas where...

Loss In The Poem 'One Art' By Elizabeth Bishop

...Throughout the short 1980 poem “One Art,” writer Elizabeth Bishop approaches the topic of loss with a whimsical, almost satirical mood. She speaks of lost car keys in stanza two, then we see a rapid decline in the “funniness” of the lost items. In stanza three Bishop speaks of losing names, homes, and dreams, all things that people consider dear and try hard to hold onto. In stanza four Bishop talks of losing a precious heirloom, and property that she owned. This stanza suggests that the speaker is in some sort of financial down spiral, but is still speaking with the same light intonation. Stanza six goes yet a step further, and the speaker writes that she has lost whole countries, whole realms that once belonged to her, most likely in a metaphorical...

Singapore

...In the poem “Singapore” by Mary Oliver, there is a very important lesson of social acceptance. The poet speaks of encountering a woman in an airport bathroom stall, cleaning an ashtray in the toilet, and the disgust that she first feels towards this woman and her job. The speaker does however, express that she moves past the judgment that she first feels towards the woman in the stall. She imagines parts of nature and wishes to put the woman in a beautiful place in life. In this poem, the poet uses imagery, connotation, metaphor and symbolism to describe what she is really seeing compared to what she is imagining and would like to see. Significantly, the speaker begins the poem by saying, “A darkness was ripped from my eyes” (line 2). The darkness that she is speaking of is the judgment that she places upon this woman in the stall. She first has a closed mind, a disturbed perception if you will, towards the cleaning lady. To say that it “was ripped from my eyes” (line 2) implies that she did attain a better perception of her. The speaker knew that she should not be so judgmental towards this woman and the job she is performing. It is obvious that she understands she should not feel this way when in the second stanza she states, “Disgust argued in my stomach” (line 6). For that feeling to argue, it exhibits her capability to understand. Bewilderment and dismay overcame the speaker. She feels disgusted by what most people consider such a degrading job, yet so displeased with herself...

A Lesson for This Sunday

...The growing idleness of summer grass With its frail kites of furious butterflies Requests the lemonade of simple praise In scansion gentler than my hammock swings And rituals no more upsetting than a Black maid shaking linen as she sings The plain notes of some Protestant hosanna-- Since I lie idling from the thought in things-- Or so they should, until I hear the cries Of two small children hunting yellow wings, Who break my Sabbath with the thought of sin. Brother and sister, with a common pin, Frowning like serious lepidopterists. The little surgeon pierces the thin eyes. Crouched on plump haunches, as a mantis prays She shrieks to eviscerate its abdomen. The lesson is the same. The maid removes Both prodigies from their interest in science. The girl, in lemon frock, begins to scream As the maimed, teetering thing attempts its flight. She is herself a thing of summery light, Frail as a flower in this blue August air, Not marked for some late grief that cannot speak. The mind swings inward on itself in fear Swayed towards nausea from each normal sign. Heredity of cruelty everywhere, And everywhere the frocks of summer torn, The long look back to see where choice is born, As summer grass sways to the scythe’s design. “A Lesson for This Sunday” from Collected Poems: 1948-1984 by Derek Walcott.

Beats By Dre Commercial Analysis

...bera Gabriel English 103 Tech ID 11952210 Michael Dusek Beats by Dre: The Game before the Game The Beat is the name of a popular headphone franchise owned by Apple. The advert was produced during the World Cup to boost the popularity and sales of their products worldwide. The advert started with Neymar Jr., a young Brazilian football star talking to his father as he gave him advice before he commenced playing. The advert also featured ordinary people including celebrities getting ready to watch the game around the world. Famous footballers like Luis Suarez, Robin Van Persie and many more were shown preparing for the game as each performed his startup ritual to play in the biggest football tournament in the world. It's basically showing how everyone was preparing for the game - praying, setting their TVs, wearing costumes and makeup of their national flag, and concentrating on the game. Also the footballers could be seen in the advert wearing the Beats by Dre listening to interesting and inspirational music in preparation for the biggest game of their career. The main focus of the commercial was on Neymar, and as he stepped out of the bus with his Beat, he was greeted by a huge crowd of paparazzi and the News media. He headed straight to the locker room and talked with his father who gave him inspiration and prayed with him to excel in the game. He later walked through the tunnel and emerged in the stadium for the game. No doubt, the...

What Is Poetic Merit?

...Poetic Merit is how songs could be identified as a poem without the music. A song can have poetic merit if it has end rhymes, allusions, figurative language, and many other elements. With the song that I picked, The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel, I believe it has the poetic elements of ending rhymes, personification, and how I think they wrote the song about a man accepting his depression. First off, the reason I chose to talk about end rhymes is because when people started to write poetry, it was common end the lines to rhyme with another in a stanza. In The Sound of Silence, each stanza follows a pattern of “AABBCCD.” For instance, the first stanza of the song follows the pattern by ending the lines with “friend...again...creeping...sleeping...brain...remain...silence.”...

Warned

...The poem "Warned" by Sylvia Stults, is a poetic take on the destructive nature of the human race. She uses a rhythmic pattern of the sonnet to describe the beauty of our planet along with the destructiveness that is breaking down nature. The poem is revered as sympathetic to the audience and evokes a sense of compassion and longing for change. It is devastating to hear all the ways people have polluted our once luxurious planet. This poem allows the readers to think more clearly about how to treat our environment. If the people continue this road of self destruction there may not be to much of earth left to cherish. By becoming more aware of the environment and the everlasting consequences of our actions we can begin to take the necessary steps to preserve the wilderness, protect wildlife, and create a better future. The theme of this poem is the destructiveness of the human race and the effects it is having on the earth. This poem draws the reader’s attention to the environment and how it is being ruined. Each stanza covers a different piece of the world turned bad – the white sandy beaches, blue skies, and towering abundant trees. By stating what once was so beautiful about our earth, she then refers to the damage the humans have caused— “The sands of time have rendered fear, Blue skies on high, no longer clear, Stars were bright whence they came, Now dimmed, obscured, pollution's haze” (Stults). Stults is appealing to the audiences emotions in order to persuade the...
