Automatic Meter Reading For Smart Metering By Using QPSK Modem With PLC Channel and GSM Modem

Abstract

In ARG18 Modem using GSM/GPRS Communication for Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) applications. These AMR systems have made substantial progress over the recent years in terms of functionality, scalability, performance and openness such that they can perform remote metering applications for very demanding and complex systems. Using QPSK Modem with Power Line Carrier Communication for Smart Metering thereby implementing Smart Grid Technology for Rural Smart Micro Grids and thus simulating the design successfully using MATLAB software. Also to identify the advantages and disadvantages of using QPSK Modem with PLC (Power line Communication) Channel over the ARG18 Modem with GSM/GPRS communication.
