As a contemporary approach, nowadays the power distribution system has been working in new regime by using IT and ICT applications, to reduce the power supply-demand gap and to increase reliability of power supply which is the challenges of present power distribution sector. To achieve these, smart meter (AMI) solution is one of the best options since real-time data can be captured from remote end through bi-directional communication using GPRS/PLCC/RF technologies. The smart meters are
