A User Friendly Automated Energy Management System For Domestic Consumers to Reduce Electricity Bills
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryThe amount of energy that is being generated for everyday use of commercial and residential needs is in an incredible quantity, as we all know that electricity is a kind of energy that can’t be stored and restored. Moreover, the burden falls on the generation side to overcome the utilization demands in the peak hours and for doing so and to satisfy the customers more generators or plants have to be installed and initiated which is in direct proportion with greenhouse effect and environmental pollution. Similarly, it also increases the tariff rate that makes the electricity consumption: cost effective. For resolving the concerning issue smart grids is being used in combination with the demand side management technique. In the following technique the system logically decides the best combination of loads during the peak and off-peak hours. An algorithm is designed which specifies the loads by assuring the best possible combinations. Apparently, this research is about n number of loads and with the help of logical language (XOR and OR) combinations are designed which leads to the provision of more options and wide area of choices to the costumers to select load according to their demand.
Project ObjectivesProper management of electricity distribution.To utilize power in effective way. Escalation in energy efficiency. Eco-Friendly decreament in electricity bills up to 25%.Eventually, the load shedding rate is decreased. Decrease in CO2 generation (greenhouse effect). Best possible combinations of loads that have to be operated
Project Implementation MethodFor the validation and verification of the proposed idea, smart home prototype is modelled and a program is developed in python language with the help of heuristic technique system and later the program is burnt into raspberry pi 4. However, 10 various, yet unique from one another loads are chosen and they are powered by AC source. Moreover, relays are used for bridging purpose between loads and raspberry pi. Respectively the program generates the best possible combinations of loads which makes the whole system efficient and panic-free.
Benefits of the ProjectReduction in electricity bills will be beneficial for country’s economy.
As far as the system work efficiently there would be less power generation required.
Greenhouse effect rate will be decreased.
User convenience: as system will be automated. (Automatic load shifting)
Lastly, Reduction in load shedding rate.
Technical Details of Final DeliverablePrototype of A User Friendly Automated Energy Management System For Domestic Consumers to Reduce Electricity Bills for smart home in which load shifting will be shown.
Different modules, relays, switches, microprocessor is used to implement the prototype.
10 various loads are used which will be operated and managed by the algorithm that has been burned in raspberry pi.
