DESIGN OF IoT BASED LOAD MANAGEMENT FOR OFF-GRID RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

The growing energy needs of 21st century have made the electricity grid more intelligent that can accomplish the demand. Smart energy management system needs to be integrated for efficient usage of energy. Internet of things is a megatrend of 21st century which can be effectively used for smart energy management system. The proposed system in this paper deals with cost effective smart load management for offgrid renewable energy sources. A prototype model is developed with solar panel, battery storage system, controllable loads and the smart load management is developed using microcontroller,4-channel relay module. The whole system is supervised using mobile with cloud storage app, Cayenne.
