A power load management system based on ARM-7 microcontroller and GPRS is presented in this paper. The proposed system consists of electronic KWH meter, intelligent management terminal (IMT) and management centre. The intelligent terminal is sued to acquire information from KWH meter, control the energy-consuming device and communicate with management centre via GPRS network. How to implement the IMT by using ARM-7 microcontroller and GPRS telecommunication module is discussed in detail. Also the software design of the terminal with high performance embedded real-time operating system muC/OS-II is presented in this paper.
