Abstract:
Centralized automated single server based energy meter reading systems required high-end resources, at the same time it has low efficiency benefits, low reliability and real time meter data monitoring get more complex when the connected meter base is large. Therefore objective of the research is to provide a methodological approach for energy meter reading systems to apply for the Sri Lankan context using decentralized technique. Agent based solution was implemented with Multi Agent System (MAS) to address above issues and the system is characterized de-centralized nature and self configurable nature. Low cost, high reliable, high efficient meter reading system is provided by MAS based decentralized system
