Digital Power Meter with Demand Control for Residential Energy Management

Abstract:

In this paper, an energy-measurement-IC-based digital power meter is developed with demand control function for residential electrical energy management through wireless Zigbee and Internet. Several developed micro-controller-based modules are incorporated into this residential energy management system for demand control, such as infrared-controller module, infrared-learning module, and infrared-controlled switch module. This system can send the measured electricity utilization data through Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and Internet to the remote server. The user can also control at any time the loads (appliances) at home through any computer or smart phone that is connected to the Internet.
