Smart energy monitoring system and optimization of energy consumption

Abstract

"We now place a high importance on energy efficiency, especially in light of the impending depletion of fossil resources. One way to accomplish this would be to utilize modern devices to monitor how much energy each room or building uses and to cut down on electricity waste. The designed system enables the customer to monitor their daily electricity consumption, assist them in managing their energy costs, and help them reduce their monthly electricity bill by optimizing their usage. The household’s energy consumption is measured using various sensors. Based on the remaining pre-paid electric meter balance the smart device will send notifications to the consumer’s mobile phone when the system calculates a low balance to make the user aware to recharge the meter. Additional notifications will remind them to switch off the appliances when not in use. This study shows how our designed system works on a prototype house model and compares the data obtained with an actual existing system to confirm our findings with readings from a conventional energy meter."
