Financial Losses

The noticeable rise in electricity bills is one of the most major factors leading to an economic crisis for all parts of the world today. It causes many negative impacts on the economic lifestyle of society. This is due to the depletion of unnecessary energy which leads to financial losses for customers. Moreover, it leads to problems between customers and electric companies. Day by day, electricity bills increase further due to the increase in the number of electrical appliances, which in turn leads to an increase in the daily use of electricity. The absence of an energy consumption monitoring system exacerbates this problem. Therefore, it became necessary to develop a system to monitor energy consumption that can calculate daily consumption and display it to customers so that they can know their energy consumption without facing any difficulties. This paper aims to design and implement an energy meter system for optimized cost using internet of things (IOT) technology. This is to alert customers to take preventive measures that help limit the rise in electricity bills. The main components of system design are Node MCU, Arduino Uno (Atmega 328) Microcontroller, AC Fan, AC Light Bulb, LCD I2C (20x4) and ACS712 Current Sensor, which is responsible for sensing the current of electrical appliances. This system was simulated through the TINKERCAD program, as for the system programming, it was done through the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Moreover, the system implementation and testing has been successfully completed, and the required results have been analyzed and successfully reached. The system has performed well and is acceptable, also it can be classified as efficient, simple and easy to use.

In this proposed system, scheduled power management is to reduce the excess use of energy and to reduce the energy tariff of the domestic consumers. The price differs, if one unit exceeds the value fixed by tariff 1a plan. For domestic customers, scheduling of energy is done by using energy meter which is controlled by IOT and Arduinos. If the consumer uses excess of scheduled energy the user gets an SMS and the circuit will be tripped automatically, in case if there is necessity for more energy, we switch to normal function from the scheduled function which can be maintained by IoT. The consumer can check the energy consumption in webpage. The internet of things paradigm has been proposed in order to check the energy consumption and also for automation purposes like tripping the circuits when energy usage is increased. A very low cost, advanced embedded hardware has been used to make the prototype model.

Background & Objective: The operating efficiency of a sensor network totally relies upon the energy that is consumed by the nodes to perform various tasks like data transmission etc. Thus, it becomes mandatory to consume the energy in an intelligent way so that the network can run for a long period. This paper proposed an energy efficient Cluster Head (CH) selection mechanism by considering the distance to Base Station (BS), distance to node and energy as major factors. The concept of volunteer node is also introduced with an objective to reduce the energy consumption of the CH to transmit data from source to BS. The role of the volunteer node is to transmit the data successfully from source to destination or BS. Conclusion: The results are observed with respect to the Alive nodes, dead nodes and energy consumption of the network. The outcome of the proposed work proves that it outperforms the traditional mechanisms.

The way of generating and distributing energy throughout the electrical grid to all users is evolving. The concept of Smart Grid (SG) took place to enhance the management of the electrical grid infrastructure and its functionalities from the traditional system to an improved one. To measure the energy consumption of the users is one of these functionalities that, in some countries, has already evolved from a periodical manual consumption reading to a more frequent and automatic one, leading to the concept of Smart Metering (SM). Technology improvement could be applied to the SM systems to allow, on one hand, a more efficient way to collect the energy consumption data of each user, and, on the other hand, a better distribution of the available energy through the infrastructure. Widespread communication solutions based on existing telecommunication infrastructures instead of using ad-hoc ones can be exploited for this purpose. In this paper, we recall the basic elements and the evolution of the SM network architecture focusing on how it could further improve in the near future. We report the main technologies and protocols which can be exploited for the data exchange throughout the infrastructure and the pros and cons of each solution. Finally, we propose an innovative solution as a possible evolution of the SM system. This solution is based on a set of Internet of Things (IoT) communication technologies called Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) which could be employed to improve the performance of the currently used technologies and provide additional functionalities. We also propose the employment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to periodically collect energy consumption data, with evident advantages especially if employed in rural and remote areas. We show some preliminary performance results which allow assessing the feasibility of the proposed approach.

Major Factors

The scarcest resource for most of the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is energy and one of the major factors inenergy consumption for WSNs is due to communication. Notonly transmission but also reception is the source of energyconsumption. The lore to decrease energy consumption is toturn off radio circuit when it is not needed. This is why TDMA has advantages over contention based methods. Time slot assignment algorithm is an essential part of TDMA based systems. Although centralized time slot assignment protocols are preferred in many WSNs, centralized approach is not scalable. In this paper, a new energy efficient and delay sensitive distributed time slot assignment algorithm (DTSM) is proposed for sensor networks under convergecast traffic pattern. DTSM which is developed as part of the military monitory (MILMON) system introduced in [27], aims to operate with low delay and low energy. Instead of collision based periods, it assigns slots by the help of tiny request slots. While traditional slot assignment algorithms do not allow assigning the same slot within two hop neighbors, because of the hidden node problem, DTSM can assign, if assignment is suitable for convergecast traffic. Simulation results have shown that delay and energy consumption performance of DTSM is superior to FPRP, DRAND, and TRAMA which are the most known distributed slot assignment protocols for WSNs or ad hoc networks. Although DTSM has somewhat long execution time, itsscalability characteristic may provide application specific time durations.
