  • Abstract
    In every aspect of life, electronics plays a vital role. Though many technological innovations are taking place in this world, existing electricity consumption billing process seems in India to be very obsolete and does not meet the latest technology available. In this paper, the above said process is totally automated and the communication is made possible entirely through the power line. This communication is bi-directional at a faster data rate through long distances. By digitizing, the currently used analog energy meter has been completely transformed to a digital one. Hence it is beneficial to the customers as the system is made very user friendly.
