Popis: The technology of automation has brought out major changes in almost all the fields. The aim behind innovations today is to reduce the manual work and to make the process efficient as well as accurate. One of the systems that has remained conventional since a long time is the electricity bill generation. There are a number of issues that arise due to manual billing which includes incorrect computation/calculations, improper meter reading, delayed bill delivery, rounding off issues etc. Another major drawback of manual billing is the storage of the bills and maintaining a history of electricity consumption. Proposals to automate this process are being continuously made. Here we will discuss the various types of electricity billing systems and group them according to their functionality, modes of operation and payment methods. The pros and cons of these systems are studied in detail.
