Smart Manager for Energy Control

Abstract

With increasing use of electronic appliances and implementation of technologies such as IOT, the electricity consumption in urban households has increased drastically. However, these measures have certain drawbacks such as increase in air pollution by thermal power plants (thermal generation is the main source of electricity generation in INDIA), a sustained interruption in power supply & increase in cost of electricity consumed during peak hour. The system consists of a hybrid solar thermoelectric generation system and energy storage device such as a battery. During daytime the storage device can be fully charged so as to provide electricity to the household during peak hours thus reducing electricity bill. In the event of an interruption in the electricity supplied by the energy company, this system can take over and provide electricity to the household. Since the energy source is renewable with minimum pollution, the system is relatively cleaner. Remote monitoring and controlling of the system is also possible. This system could prove to be a favorable solution that reduces electricity cost of the consumer, allows energy companies to meet the demands better and also reduces the negative impact on the environment.
