Paper Title
Microcontroller Application for Home Automation
Abstract
Electrical power movements all the way from power generating station to loads through transmission and
distribution grid where a lot of energy is wasted in these lines. Any wastage of power in the load side reflects the power
wastage in the transmission and distribution network because of which generating fuel like coal or gas is wasted. It plays
aimportant role in smart grid environment and helps in regulating the wastage of energy at residential homes. It provides a
homeowner the ability to automatically perform smart load switching ON/OFF based on generation power and home owner
preference and load priorities. This project contains two main parts for energy management and reduce energy consumption.
First part the consumer can be managing the mode of our load, in this project have three modes for load management that it
is (MANUAL, AUTO &ECO) that control appliances remotely by using internet protocol (IP) via Web server according to
save energy, reduce bill and provide comfortability. The second part which contains distribution and billing center in
effective utilization of the energy available and minimization of the electricity over load in crash hour and energy wastage,
the (SHEMS) control algorithm to perform load control is analyzed along with the power consumption details. It employs an
embedded micro – web server in Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller, with IP connectivity for accessing and controlling
devices and appliances remotely. The project goals to provide a clear picture of a home’s current and power usage, and
through this data provide an estimate to power consumption. The project also aims to identify a status devices turn on and off
by analysis of this current data. The goal of provided such data to a user is that they will optimize and reduce their power
usage.
