Abstract :

Traditional method for meter reading forelectricity consumption and billing is done byhuman operator from building to building. This requires large number of man power and long working time to achieve complete area data reading and billing. Human operator billing may have error . This concept is to reduce the time delay ,errors and theft of electricity. .The power management system is consists of Zigbee Digital Power meters installed in every consumer unit and an Electricity e–Billing system at the energy provider side. The ZigBee is used since the application don�t need high speed data rate, need to be low powered and low cost .The Zigbee Digital Power meters utilize the Wireless sensor network to send its power usage reading using information back to the energy provider wirelessly. This wireless system is also used to overcome the theft of electricity via bypassing the energy meter and hence it also controls the revenue losses and utility of the electricity authorized agency
