Abstract

The residential sector in India, accounting for 22% of total energy produced, is one of the sector where the largest uncaptured energy productivity improvement opportunity lie. Home appliance penetration will be particularly domineering in driving residential energy demand growth in India, which is urbanizing at a rapid rate. The focus in the research community is to condense energy wastage in dwellings in order to improve global energy efficiency. Since the reserves of fossil fuels are limited, the use of alternative energy sources needs to be encouraged. This paper presents a brief overview on the various architectures and functional modules of smart home energy management system (HEMS), integration of renewable resources in smart HEMS and intelligent monitoring and control of home appliances to reduce domestic energy usage, a challenging target to mitigate energy crisis and the environmental problems. Also, we discussed future prospects and challenges for energy efficient smart home system in India.
