ADOPTING MEASURES TO REDUCE POWER OUTAGESelelijjournal
This work investigates and evaluates the electric energy interruptions to the residential sector resulting
from severe power outages. The study results show that this sector will suffer tangible and intangible losses
should these outages occur during specific times, seasons, and for prolonged durations. To reduce these
power outages and hence mitigate their adverse consequences, the study proposes practical measures that
can be adopted without compromising the consumers’ needs, satisfaction ,and convenience.
SMARTPHONE PREVENTIVE CUSTOMIZED POWER SAVING MODESijujournal
The postulate of this paper is that current smartphones' power saving modes can be improved towards
saving more power and/or gain more user satisfaction only if they start following “preventive” and/or user
customized power saving plans. We develop a number of preventive power saving modes that save the
battery power without the need of using the power of the same battery for detecting abusage. It will be
supporting the user with a preventive plan that could give him/her an idea about what to run or don’t run.
Another issue of current power saving modes is the “One Size Fits All” philosophy which does not take
into consideration the factors that could distinguish different smartphone users, for example, the nature of
the workspace of the user (Indoor/Outdoor), the age, the gender and/or the user’s applications categories
of interests. The paper develops a strategy to match a smartphone power saving mode with its perfect
smartphone user by classifying smartphones users into classes depending on a set of different factors and
having the user to identify himself/herself to the smartphone before the first use.

The aim of the project is to minimize the queue at the energy meter billing counters and to restrict the usage of energy meter automatically, if the bill is not paid. The project also aims at proposing a system that will reduce the loss of power and revenue due to power thefts and other illegal activities. The work system adopts a totally new concept of “Prepaid Energy Meter”. The GSM technology is used so that the consumer would receive messages about the consumption of power (in watts) and if it reaches the minimum amount, it would automatically alert the consumer to recharge. This technology holds good for all electricity distribution companies, private communities, IT parks and self-containing housing projects. The implementation of this project will help in better energy management, conservation of energy and also in doing away with the unnecessary hassles over incorrect billing. The automated billing system will keep track of the real time consumption and will leave little scope for disagreement on consumption and billing.It is observed that one of the faulty subsystems contributing to the huge revenue loss in Nigerian Power Sector is the metering and billing system. Errors get introduced at every stage of energy billing, like: errors with electro-mechanical meters, human errors while noting down the meter reading; and error while processing the paid bills and the due bills. The remedy for this drawback is a prepaid energy billing. There are clear results from many countries, where prepaid system has reduced the revenue loss by a large amount. A GSM-based Energy Recharge Interface which contains a prepaid card equivalent to a mobile SIM card. The prepaid card communicates with the power utility using GSM communication network. Once the prepaid card is out of balance, the consumer load is disconnected from the utility supply by the latching Relay (contactor). The power utility can recharge the prepaid card remotely through GSM/SMS mode base on customer requests. The results obtained shows good system performance. A prior billing is bound to do away with the problems of unpaid bills and human error in meter readings, thereby ensuring justified revenue for the utility.

IOT-ENABLED GREEN CAMPUS ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ijesajournal
Increasing cost and demand for energy is imposing us to find smart ways to save energy. To satisfy the energy requirement and at the same time to cut down the cost, consumption of energy must be monitored and controlled. Energy consumption can be well managed with the capabilities of the Internet of Things (IoT). This paper presents an architecture towards IoT-enabled Green campus Energy Management System. In the proposed system, the data acquisition module collects energy consumption information from each device and transmits it to the cloud platform for further processing and analysis. Since lighting and air conditioning appliances contribute to most of the electricity consumption in the campus environment, they have been taken as a prototype to validate the proposed architecture.
Q1: How do smart grids differ from current electricity infrastructure in the United States?
2. What management, organization, and technology issues should be considered when developing a smart grid?
3. What challenge to the development of smart grids do you think is most likely to hamper their development?
4. What other areas of our infrastructure could benefit from “smart” technologies? Describe one example not listed in the case.
5. Would you like your home and your community to be part of a smart grid? Why or Why not?
As the home energy is used to increasing, and renewable energy systems are deployed, home energy management system (HEMS) needs to consider both the energy consumption and generation simultaneously used. It is used to minimize the energy cost. This paper proposes a smart HEMS architecture that considers both the energy consumption and generation simultaneously. In this project ZigBee-based energy measurement modules are used to monitor the energy consumption of home appliances and lights. An ARM9-based renewable energy gateway is used to monitor the energy generation of renewable energies and control the home appliances. The home server gathers the energy consumption and generation data, it analyzes them for energy estimation, and controls the home energy use schedule to minimize the energy cost. The energy management server gets the energy data from numerous home servers, compares them, and creates useful analysis information. By considering both the energy consumption and generation, the proposed HEMS architecture is expected to optimize home energy. And it will used to reduce the cost of electricity.

The Development of Real-Time Energy Consumption Monitoring using IoTaciijournal
Energy shortage is a global challenge with significant implications for economies, societies, and the environment, including the Philippines. Promoting energy conservation in households is an effective approach to address this issue. In the Municipality of Midsayap, North Cotabato, Philippines, unmonitored energy consumption leads to excessive energy usage in households. To address this problem, this paper aims to research, build, test and implement a Real-Time Energy Consumption Monitoring (RECM) device using IoT technology. The RECM device, equipped with an SCT013 current sensor, enables real-time 24/7 monitoring of energy consumption. The monitored data is displayed in graphical and numerical formats using the Thing Speak cloud storage service. The RECM device was deployed in households, and a survey was conducted to evaluate its functionality and effectiveness. The results indicate that the design of the RECM device is a highly useful and efficient tool for real-time energy consumption monitoring. This paper provides circuit diagrams, wiring diagrams, and the list of materials used to develop the Real-Time Energy Consumption Monitoring (RECM) device using IoT.”

Cost and Benefit Analysis of Solar Panels at HomeIJAEMSJORNAL
Due to the high utility costs in Cabanatuan City, the solar panel system is rapidly approaching. People in the middle and lower income classes of the country particularly feel the effects of inflation. In order to address the ongoing rise in oil prices and pollution, the government has made the development of renewable energy one of its top priorities. In order to help consumers reduce their utility costs, save money, and produce greener energy, a study on the installation of a solar panel system at home was carried out. The researchers gathered some data from consumers to be utilized as the basis for the contractors' computations, where the adoption of a 3kw on-grid solar panel system was recommended to those respondents with power bills under ₱2,400. The project costs approximately ₱150,000 in total, including installation and permits, and can save approximately ₱2,300 monthly. This investment has a 5.4-year payback period and a total savings of ₱402,000 over a 20-year period. The consumption analysis revealed a sensitive effect on savings and investment payback periods. The study proved that the project's long-term savings can be more than double the initial investment. A SWOT analysis was also performed to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of having an on-grid solar panel, as well as the benefits of clean energy and gas reduction in our environment that future generations could benefit from. The project's cost-benefit is a win-win investment for everyone who wants to save money while also enjoying cleaner air in the long run.

Microcontroller-based Control and Data Acquisition System for a Grid-connecte...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
There has been a significant increase in the exploitation of renewable energy systems. To be
able to efficiently utilize grid - connected renewable energy sources, there must be a reliable control and
monitoring system. In building a control and monitoring system for this system, a power analyzer
connected to a microcontroller was used. The microcontroller was linked to touchscreen display where a
graphical user interface (GUI) was programmed to able to display and log the data recovered. Relays were
used to reconfigure the system by shifting the load’s source of energy between the grid and renewable
energy system. The energy generated by the renewable energy system may be delivered to the load or be
fed to the grid as needed. This operation will be done through either an external device or through a
computer which was built to manually operate the control system and view the status of the system as
determined by parameters such as cost and energy consumption. This system provided residential
buildings with their own renewable energy system with a simple yet reliable control and monitoring system.
The system was able to accumulate accurate and real time data. It also provided a continuous supply and

1. “Illuminator”- A mobile application to conserve
electricity in the residential sector
A.A.Burhan, F.H.Zarook, Y.M.S.Anuruddika, M.I.Haniffa, R.Varunan, M.M.A.Musfik
Abstract— the annual electricity consumption in Sri Lanka has shown a drastic increment and the Sri Lankan government is bearing
a large amount of expenditure for generating electricity annually. One of the immense problems is that a lot of this energy is wasted
due to negligence and inattention. The energy conservation has become a key factor for the survival of civilization thus it is important
to conserve electricity in order to save resources for future generations. The proposed mobile application, “Illuminator” will be
developed in order to help conserve energy in the residential sector. The mobile application will be specially designed to notify the
user of the excess use of electric items and will also give the user the ability to switch on/off the electric device accordingly. The use of
mobile application technology for conserving energy and educating consumers is having great impact in this sector. However, a
system that can detect all electric items in a particular location and notify the user accordingly is very rare. As a result of this users
are not aware of their electricity consumption until the electricity bill is issued at the end of the month therefore the application will
help consumers conserve energy. The main objective and core concern of developing this application is to help electricity consumers
to conserve electricity as much as possible. Therefore the proposed mobile application will be very beneficiary for them.
Keywords— civilization, survival, application, consumption,
conserve, negligence,
I. INTRODUCTION
Electricity is one of the most powerful forces in our
lives. In the ancient times people relied for power
on their own muscles, on the muscles of
domesticated animals, on water and wind.
Eventually as the population increased there was a
significant advancement in the life styles of human
that led to the evolution of civilization. [1]
At present there are many energy sources
discovered. In Sri Lanka, the primary sources of
generating electricity are hydro power (the use of
the gravitational force of falling or flowing water)
and thermal power. With the increase in population
the annual electricity consumption in Sri Lanka is
drastically increasing. According to the Central
bank report in the year 2010 the gross generation of
electricity by power stations is 10,714.49Gwh. [2]
The Sri Lankan government is bearing a large
amount of expenditure for generating electricity
annually. To help the government expenditure to
decrease, to help consumers conserve electricity
and use it appropriately, the team decided to
contribute a solution to this problem by developing
a mobile application to help people save and be
cautious while using electricity. The application
will detect the electric items in a particular location
and will alert the user when it is being
unnecessarily used. If the electric item is being used
unnecessarily it will automatically turn it off, it will
also calculate the usage of the electricity
consumption and alert the user via a Notification if
it’s exceeding the usual limit. A web application
will also be developed for users to login to the
internet via the mobile to detect and control the
electric items at their residence.
2. II. LITERATURE REVIEW
J.P.Clinch and J.D Healy performed a study to
demonstrate how energy savings, environment
benefits and health and comfort improvements
maybe assessed. The study provides an insight into
the methodological difficulties and solution for
accessing the social efficiency of large scale
domestic energy conservation projects. [3]
Sarah Darby has conducted a research to review the
effectiveness of three types of feedback to domestic
consumers, direct feedback in the home, indirect
feedback via billing and “inadvertent” feedback (by
product of technical, household or social changes) it
also concludes that feedback has a significant role
to play in raising energy awareness and in bringing
about reduced consumption of the order of 10% [4]
The research conducted by W. Fred Van Raaij and
Theo M.M. Verhallen, proves that most energy
saving can be attained in home heating. If
household members accept lower thermostat
settings and avoid heat losses through windows and
doors as much as possible, considerable savings
will be attained. [6]
The study conducted by John E. Petersen, Vladislav
Shunturov, Kathryn Janda, Gavin Platt and Kate
Weinberger conveys that in residential buildings,
personal choices influence electricity and water
consumption. The goal of this study is to assess
how different resolutions of socio-technical
feedback, combined with incentives, encourage
students to conserve resources. [7]
Silvia Banfi, Mehdi Farsi, Massimo Filippini and
Martin Jakob conducted a research using a choice
experiment to evaluate the consumers’ willingness
to pay for energy-saving measures in Switzerland’s
residential buildings. These measures include air
renewal (ventilation) systems and insulation of
windows and facades. Two groups of respondents
consisting respectively of 163 apartment tenants
and 142 house owners were asked to choose
between their housing status quo and each one of
the several hypothetical situations with different
attributes and prices. [8]
A mobile application that will help users have
greater control over their home energy costs by
finding out how much their home appliances cost to
run. [9]

consumers to calculate energy consumption and
potential savings. [10]
III. OBJECTIVES
To help people conserve electricity at their
residence and reduce their monthly
expenditure.
To help the government of Sri Lanka reduce
its expenditure on generating electricity.
To conserve resources from being exploited
for future generation.
3. To help people conserve electricity so that
electricity can be provided to rural areas
without any deficiency.
To implement a system to keep track of the
electric items and alert the usage
accordingly.
To automatically turn off the electric item
when it is being unnecessarily used.
To keep track of the electricity usage and
inform the user if it is exceeding the usual
limit, via a Notification.
IV. METHODOLOGY
Developing a software product is a crucial task, and
has a sequential manner of implementation
therefore the most suitable methodology has to be
selected to produce an effective and efficient
product. For the implementation of this project our
team has decided to use the “prototype”
methodology. Under this environment sequential
steps are followed for the developing process. With
the use of this methodology if any changes need to
be occurred it can be done with no additional cost
and in an effective manner.
Information Gathering
At the initiation phase of the project information
has to gather via questionnaires and surveys. The
team needed to use different approaches to gather
information to get the overall idea of the product
which the team intends to implement. By
conducting interviews and also by gathering
information through questionnaires the residents’
important requirements were gathered.
Furthermore we gathered information from a survey
on how far residents’ are satisfied with the
applications which have been launched up to date.
The team is looking forward to go beyond the
customers’ requirements and provide a satisfactory
system.
Analyzing
Analyzing is the key to get a clear idea about the
requirements of the system. The team is very keen
in identifying the requirements clearly in order to
develop a flawless system. Therefore team meetings
were held and the information which was collected
through surveys, questionnaires and interviews are
analyzed carefully. In addition the project team got
more information through the internet and past
relevant systems. After the analysis process the
design phase is initiated.
Design
According to the requirement specification
analyzed the team will map the requirements into
architecture. The architecture will define the
components, their interfaces and behaviors
accordingly. The System Requirement Specification
document will define and describe the plan to
implement the requirements. The programming
languages, the algorithms, data structures,
4. interfaces, databases and files needed and many
other details will be established.
Implementation
The implementation of the system was divided
among the group accordingly. Two members of the
team were implementing the mobile application
while another two members of the team were
allocated to complete the web application and the
rest of the members were handling the connectivity
between the applications via a service application.
To pass signals through the applications to the
electric devices, a connection between the
application and the electric devices should be
established. In order to establish the connectivity
the following electric circuit was built. The signals
passed through the app is detected by a service
application and sent to the circuit and the circuit
passes the signal to the relevant electric device. The
following diagram indicates the electric circuit
which was built.

Testing
Once the implementation phase of the system
begins the system will be tested and evaluated in
order to identify bugs and inefficiency. Each
module of the system will be tested separately.
Once the modules have all been implemented and
tested individually, the system will be integrated.
The integration testing and evaluation will take
place afterwards. According to the results of the
evaluation the system will be adjusted and
improved until a satisfactory system is delivered.
V. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
‘Illuminator’ is an application specially designed
for the public in order to help conserve electricity
and use electricity efficiently. The team have
focused on several measures to make the mobile
and the web application effective.

5. The reliability program plan is essential for a
successful reliability program and is developed
early during system development. It specifies not
only what the reliability engineer does, but also the
tasks performed by others. The team is launching an
error free web and mobile application. The main
pillar of reliability for the web application is the
backup of the database which is continuously
maintained and updated by the administrator.
The mobile application will be available in the
user’s phone all the time, but in certain scenarios if
the user needs to reinstall the android application,
user can simply login to the web and download the
application. The mobile Application will control
devices only in the Wi-Fi range. The web
application will be available all the time, the user
can access it using a web browser at any time of the
day thus even if the user is out of the Wi-Fi range
the user has the ability to access the web application
via internet.The only restriction will be the down
time of the server on which the system will not be
available for users, when data backup is being done.
This process will take place only once a week apart
from that the web application will be available
anytime of the day (24/7).
Privacy is an important aspect in any system
therefore Illuminator has been protected with
relevant security measures.There will be no external
access to the database of the web application. Only
the administrators of the system will have full
database administration rights. Each and every user
of the system will have a user name and a password.
Password will be encrypted by the database and in
case of emergencies users will be asked to provide
the recovery options. When the password has been
lost or forgotten that time the system will help to
get password again by using the recovery option. If
they missed to use recovery option they have to
Sign up again.
After the deployment of the project, if any error
occurs it can be easily maintained by the system
administrator. The web application can be further
developed easily to increase the functionality by
easily adding more classes due to its object oriented
design.
VI. CONCLUSION
The study of the current Sri Lankan electricity
usage and consumption shows that they have
several drawbacks such as avoidance and
negligence. Research indicate that many systems
have been implemented up to date with use of
mobile technology, yet all aspects needed to
conserve electricity has not been covered.
“Illuminator” the mobile application is intended to
overcome the above problems. The proposed
mobile application system contrast with the
approaches which has been implemented presently
and beyond, where it functions as a time based
alerting system where it notifies the user about the
termination of the electrical device and also
encourages the users to save electricity as well.
Also with the implementation of the website the
users will be able to not only have these benefits at
6. residence and also when the users are away. For the
management of a usage of electricity “Illuminator”
will be a resourceful companion.
