The Smart Meter System Design Based On ZigBee And GPRS Communication

In the 21st century, from the industrial age, mankind has entered into the information age, information technology, biotechnology and nanotechnology fast developed and combined very well.With development of science and technology going fast, humans are toward a new era——"genes and intelligence era" advance rapidly. At present, our country is to promote the development of intelligent industry.With the development of our society and economy are highly goes up, people’s living standard is also constantly improved, Because of the requirements of citizen for life quality are become more and more higher.As the ministry proposed the comprehensive construction of the comfortable housing project planning requirements, the degree of intelligent residential district is more and more higher suspected. As a part of the intelligent residential development, the development of the smart meter system also has caused more and more attention.This article focus on the present low working efficiency of the existence of watt-hour meter, real-time and accurate billing, such as present situation, designed a smart meter system based on ZigBee and GPRS communication technology.The article on the smart meters of the whole system are completely designed.On the hardware, mainly on the main controller, measuring module, ZigBee communication module and GPRS communication module in detail.On the software, also separately from the main control program, energy metering program, ZigBee communication and GPRS communication program is introduced in detail.In this paper, the main points four modules.First of all, the article research background and meaning of the smart meter system and development present situation at home and abroad made simple introduction;Second, the relevant technical standards of smart meters and the whole structure of the smart meter demonstrates simple;Then, the article focuses on smart meters do a detailed explanation of hardware system;Finally, the article to the design of intelligent electric meter software system.The smart meter system can achieve multi-user real-time acquisition and transmission of information, can achieve high quality and high efficiency management of residential electricity situation.The innovation of the paper lies in the use of combining ZigBee communication and GPRS communication, make the smart meter system the information transfer efficiency to achieve high level.Hope that through exploration, the smart meter system can provide useful experience for future related research.
