Design and Implementation of a Smart Energy Metering, Monitoring and Control System

Abstract

The growing dependence on electrical appliances in modern settings has amplified concerns regarding energy efficiency, safety, and convenience. Conventional methods for monitoring and controlling appliances frequently rely on manual intervention, which can be susceptible to human error and inefficiency. Additionally, the absence of real-time insights into appliance usage patterns hinders the identification of areas for energy efficiency improvement and proactive maintenance interventions. To address these limitations, this work proposes an IoT-based monitoring and control system for electrical appliances. This system utilizes a network of sensors and relays to collect real-time data on appliance usage and control their operation remotely. This data is then transmitted to a cloud platform for comprehensive analysis and visualization. The system empowers users to monitor their appliance usage in real-time, identify areas for energy savings, and schedule appliance operations remotely, fostering a more efficient, sustainable, and convenient environment.
