PLC Presents an interesting and economical solution for automatic meter reading (AMR). If an AMR system via PLC is set in a power delivery system, a detection system for illegal electricity usage may be easily added in the existing PLC network. In the detection system, the second digitally energy meter chip is used and the value of energy is stored. The recorded energy is compared with the value at the main kilowatthour meter. In the case of difference between two recorded energy data, in error signal is generated and transmitted via PLC network.

The automatic meter reading(AMR) system as become a necessity for most suppliers as deregulation, free customer choice and open market competition occur in the energy supply sector.

meters with PLC modules near the top of the power poles. Previously, it was enough to install power meters in high places, not in low places such as the house wall, to prevent users from using power illegally by connecting cables, or by using tampered meters.

AMR(AUTOMATIC REMOTE READING) automates the process of measurement of electricity used through digital communication techniques. Bring intelligence into the revenue cycle and manage it. The revenue cycle includes metering, billing operating, customer and the services.

 Every

user has two PLC modems; one is for AMR and the other is used to send the data from second energy meter chip to host PLC modem. An energy meter must be connected in the connection box between a home line and main power lines. The host PLC unit must be placed in the distribution transformer and the configuration of the addressing format of PLC signaling must be designed carefully.

 Most

economically viable technology for transferring Meter data to DCU. Uses the technique of communicating the data over existing Electrical Lines which carry LT power to the site. Since the connection point is usually in the air or at underground, it is not suitable for anyone to access, such that its control is easy. It is very economical and is reliable solution when it is compared with the economical loss caused by illegal usage.

usage of electricity may detected Once this proposed system is tried in real power lines, the distribution losses can be reduced effectively.
