AUTONOMOUS HOME ENERGY MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Home Energy Management System(HEMS) needs to consider both energy consumption and generation simultaneously to minimize the energy cost. Our project proposes a smart HEMS architecture that considers both energy consumption and generation simultaneously.Energy consumption is helpful for management and increasing efficiency of energy.A developed system is presented that uses a photovoltaic module to efficiently charge a super capacitor, which in turn provides energy to a microcontroller-based autonomous sensing platform. The embedded software on the node is structured around a framework in which equal precedent is given to each aspect of the sensor node through the inclusion of distinct software stacks for energy management and sensor processing. This promotes structured and modular design, allowing for efficient code reuse and encourages the standardization of interchangeable protocols.
