Towards Efficient Energy Monitoring Using IoT

Published in 2018 IEEE 21st International Multi-Topic Conference (INMIC), 2018

Abstract— The purpose of this study is to monitor electricity consumption in dormitories, private rooms in hospitals, hostels and such buildings where the users are provided with the basic package that defines which electric appliances are allowed and which high wattage appliances (e.g. electric heaters, electric rods, hot plates) are not allowed to use. Efficient Energy Monitoring revolves around the idea of Internet of Things, which deploys smart monitoring concepts in existing electricity energy consuming environments. The system monitors the real-time electricity consumption of each individual room of a building, showing users the complete statistical reports of their consumption, notifying them if they are using any high wattage appliance that crosses the threshold set by their administrative authorities and do the predictive analysis to predict the future electricity consumption and thus visualize the analytics. .
