In the recent years, E-commerce is quickly developed. In a utility, collecting bills every month is a huge routine job.
Some employees get the meter data from each customer home and calculate the price for the bill.
At a indicated date, the utility mails all bills to customers. The ways of payment is the mailing check or going to the office. If the E-commerce can be applied in this utility management system, customer check and pay the bill by credit cards on internet, the operating efficiency of the utility can be improved significantly. This project aims to set up a trial client-server query system to analyze the feasibility of this approach technically. Because electrical power can not be stored, the electrical price is based on season, time, distribution line, and other conditions.
