Smart monitoring and controlling system for power management in home using Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Design and development of smart monitoring and controlling system for household electrical appliances in real time is proposed. Increasing power consumption is becoming a huge problem. In this system, we propose an intelligent energy distribution system with a fixed power use of every home set from Electricity Board(EB) office. Power distribution from EB is the major issue because of shortage in power generation from renewable and non-renewable resources. We design this, in order to reduce the frequent power cut off. Moreover monitoring and controlling of home appliances is developed either manually, remotely and with the help of internet automatically. The main aim is to provide low cost and flexible operation. The goal is to develop a newly equipped well designed prototype for consumers in home to limit the usage of power. This helps users and power distribution centre to manage the power in an efficient manner. Practically applied in home and in EB unit with the help of microcontrollers and zigbee transceivers. Internet provides the data effectively, in order to manage the power by controlling the home appliances.
