    Smart home energy management System
    (UMT.Lahore, 2016) Ahmed; Ali Ahmad; Muhammad Ahmed; Hafiz Adnan Akram
    With the passage of time and the increase in population, living standards and country development we are facing a rapid increase in electricity demand. But unfortunately, we are also facing other problems like heavy/long load shedding and more than 5000 MW electricity shortfall. In this era, we have to develop such solution which can save and reserve the electricity generated. We need to restrict the people to use the electricity very carefully, beneficially and financially comfortable. In this project, we have developed a solution which will automatically manage the home appliances and control their performance. We are using a Smart Home Energy Management for effective home power consumption. Smart home energy management system is expected to be effective for saving electricity costs and reducing the maximum demands in peak hours. In this system, there are different kinds of components involved including software algorithms and hardware elements to corporate with each other and to provide several services in smart home. The development of the energy and the rise in the number of new consumers of electricity demands a serious need to improve the energy management system in domestic use. Energy management is a concept which could be applied in different scenarios, but in this report we are concerned about the management of the energy in homes. For this, the process of controlling, conserving and scheduling energy in homes maybe called as energy management. For this project energy management means how to use the appliances of a home and how to divide the load consumed by each load to avoid maximum usage in peak hours and consequently reducing the cost of electricity and meeting the needs of the user at the same time. KEYWORDS: Electricity Demand, Daily Load Curve, Peak Demand, Smart Home Energy Management.
