Abstract

Currently, in electrical energy sector, due to the population growth and the increasing energy consumption demand, the electrical grid is becoming more and more complex. This creates new challenges in term of electrical energy management. Our contribution in this area, presented in this paper, consi

Highlights

  • In the past, when the first electrical grids were implemented back to the late 1800s [1], and until the 1960s, the energy consumption demand was moderate

  • Each Monitoring Devices (MDs) has the role of measuring the voltage and the current consumed by the respective household appliance, calculating the power and energy consumption and sending this information to a local central device using a wireless Home Area Network (HAN), whereas the User Interface (UI) allows the user to monitor and control the overall monitoring system and the individual household appliances

  • We proposed a wireless monitoring and control system that allows residential customers of electrical operator services to monitor and control the individual energy consumption of a set of household appliances

Summary

Introduction

In the past, when the first electrical grids were implemented back to the late 1800s [1], and until the 1960s, the energy consumption demand was moderate. Each MD has the role of measuring the voltage and the current consumed by the respective household appliance, calculating the power and energy consumption and sending this information to a local central device using a wireless Home Area Network (HAN), whereas the UI allows the user to monitor and control the overall monitoring system and the individual household appliances. Ahsan et al [13] discuss the advantages of the distributed processing for home energy management system compared to centralized system Their application is dedicated for smart grid, so it depends mainly of the electricity operator. In [13], Ahsan et al discuss the advantages of the distributed processing in the context of a home energy management system compared to centralized processing Their application was conceived for smart grid, so it relies mainly on the electricity operator.
