Monitoring and controlling of Solar Driven Real Time Smart Energy Management System Integrated with IoT Devices

The increasing population and technological advancements have contributed to a rise in overall energy demand, which has created significant challenges for energy management at the consumer level. Smart devices have emerged as essential tools for energy management systems that not only degree energy consumption precisely but also facilitate two-way communication, remote equipment control, and provide billing data and utilization information to users. Intelligent devices are essential components of smart power infrastructure, enabling the evaluation, estimation, supervision, deployment, and interactions of power distribution, usage, and demand at both the device and grid levels. However, technological advancements offer solutions to make energy management more manageable. The integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar PV, integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) can simplify the energy management system. The IoT device, such as the ESP32 controller, can collect data from voltage and current sensors and transfer it to the cloud. This efficient method monitors load behavior allows for effective load management and reduction of greenhouse gases. The deployment of this energy management system in every household can have a significant impact on reducing unwanted energy usage and effectively managing energy generation and supply. In this research work an IoT-based SEMS strategy is tested and implemented with a real time test case study integrated with IoT devices. The investigation of the scenario example demonstrates that the utilized IoT-based SEMS is effective in resolving the difficulties associated with energy management at the household level.
