Problem Statement:

The consumer of electricity often gets different rates of electricity


at different times of day that have an great impact on the utility
bills of the consumers. Higher appliances when used at peak time
of the day, the cost of the utility bills increases. Hence many
customers lack the tools, applications that guide them properly to
manage their electricity uses to reduce the cost of utility bills.
To address this solution there is a methodology of manual tracking
and adjustments that are not very much appropriate for keeping
the cost of utility bills low. There is a need of more efficient and
friendly user interface system that allows the users to optimize
their electricity consumption by generating a daily schedule.

Objectives:

1.Develop a mechanism that will predict the varying electricity


rates throughout the 24-hour period on real time information.

2.Develop a user-friendly interface so that the user of any


educational environment can easily make interaction with the
system and can easily view his generated schedule and can
adjust accordingly.

3.Create a comprehensive database or interface where users can


input and manage their consumption data of their appliances,
including power usages and typical operating times.
4.The system will indicate every time during peak hours to the
electricity consumers, to reduce their consumption of electricity
during those hours so that the saving phenomenon occurs.

Features:
Functional requirements:

Historical data:
Ability to use historical rate data to identify the new rates.

Appliance Management:
Users can enter multiple appliances and can also edit their details
like power consumption and name.

Schedule Generation:
Generate a daily schedule that minimizes the cost by
recommending optimal times for high consumption appliances.

Central Dashboard:
A central dashboard to view and manage users’ data, schedules
and cost data.
Tips and Guidance:
Provide tips for the users at the start of the application on use of
the application, reducing energy consumption and improving
efficiency.

Feedback:
Allow users to give feedback on the system performance and
suggest improvements.

Feature Scalability:
Allow for easy addition of new features and integrations in future.

Non-Functional requirements:

Data Privacy and Security:


Ensure that user data is private and secure, with encryption and
access controls in place.

User Interface:
Provide user friendly interface for managing data and schedules.

Performance:
The system should be efficient in processing data and generating
schedules.
Usability:
Ensure the application is easy to use, with a clear and accessible
layout.
