EMBEDDED SYSTEM FOR SMART ENERGY MONITORING &AND OPTIMIZATION
1.INTRODUCTION
In recent years, the global push towards sustainability and energy efficiency has spurred
significant advancements in smart energy management systems for residential and commercial
buildings. The integration of embedded systems technology with energy monitoring and
optimization capabilities has emerged as a promising solution to address these challenges.
Embedded systems, defined as specialized computing systems designed to perform dedicated
functions within larger systems, offer robust platforms for real-time data acquisition, processing,
and control [1].
Efficient energy management is crucial not only for reducing operational costs but also for
minimizing environmental impact and enhancing overall energy security [2]. Traditional
approaches to energy management often rely on periodic readings and manual interventions,
which are inadequate for handling dynamic energy demands and optimizing usage in response
to varying conditions [3].
The proposed Embedded System for Smart Energy Monitoring and Optimization (ESSEMO)
aims to overcome these limitations by leveraging microcontroller-based platforms integrated
with energy meters. This system will enable continuous monitoring of energy consumption
patterns and the implementation of intelligent algorithms to optimize usage in real-time. Such
algorithms can dynamically adjust the operation of electrical appliances based on factors such
as occupancy, time of day, and environmental conditions [4].
Wireless communication protocols, such as Zigbee and Wi-Fi, will facilitate seamless data
transmission between the embedded system, energy meters, and user interfaces. This
connectivity will empower building occupants with insights into their energy consumption
habits and enable proactive management through interactive dashboards and personalized
settings [5].
By focusing on the development of ESSEMO, this project aims to contribute to the growing
body of research and innovation in smart energy management systems, ultimately fostering
sustainable practices in building operations while enhancing user comfort and convenience
