Design of a Wireless ARM-Based Automatic Meter Reading and Control System Chih-Hung Wu, Shun-Chien Chang and Yu-Wei Huang power parameters and control signal to reach the goal of load Abstract-- This paper implements a wireless ARM-based management and power demand control. Using automatic automatic meter reading and control system (WAMRCS) for distribution automation. The WAMRCS is designed based on a 32-bit ARM microprocessor to deal with power data processing and relay control. In order to provide a cost-effective, wireless, always-connected, two-way data link between utility company and WAMRCS, the WAMRCS sends information of utility usage, power quality and outage alarm to utility company via GPRS network. Compared with analog utility meter reading by manpower, WAMRCS is more accurate, reliable, cost-effective, quick and free from man-made errors. It can provide extra capabilities such as distribution automation, load management and time-of-use rate. Index Terms—ARM-Based System, Automatic Meter Reading, GPRS, Relay Control. I. INTRODUCTION W ith the rapid growth of population and technology, the electric power consumption and number of utility-consumers had increased quickly. In order to serve larger utility-consumers, utility company needs to employee more reading-meter workers. During the process of reading meter and writing down utility usage on record table by workers, man-made errors often happened. Therefore utility company spent cost and manpower to correct these errors for utility-consumers. Otherwise it is uneconomical for utility company to dispatch workers to record utility usage on utility-consumers-scattered wide area. Some utility-consumers as technology factories care about quality of power supply, but analog power meter can’t give enough information about power quality. When the power supply is unstable or outage occurs to utility-consumers, how the utility company knows the above status and then clears power faults quickly to decrease the util
