Abstract
Smart homes and smart grids become today an efficient approach to face the problem of energy shortage. For example Egypt is now facing a huge problem of fuel shortage. The power stations fail to supply power to millions of electricity users. As a result the power station cuts the power on a specific district for a certain time without considering the unfair distribution of power. A Home Energy Management (HEM) system integrates the concept of Smart homes and Smart grids. This of course needs a reliable and efficient communication system that can transfer full data scheme for customer load behavior during the day 24 hours. This work proposes a prototype for a communication system that deals with this problem through implementing a web based communication link between a power manager and the heavy loads of each customer. The channel between customers and the power manager was analyzed by simulation also. A prototype of the system was completely designed, built and tested in the laboratory and the early results confirm the expected performance.
