Energy Management is a problem faced by many around the world. The ever-rising demand for energy is putting a strain on the worldwide resources. Additionally, during the pandemic, it was observed that there was a lot of discrepancy in the electricity bills. To do our part in addressing the issue, the combination of Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine Learning (ML) has been used in creating a solution which will help measure, monitor and visualize daily energy consumption of a household. Additionally, using the concept of Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM), a single hardware setup can be used to measure the energy consumption of each appliance in the household. This hardware setup with the use of certain ML algorithms like Factorial Hidden Markov Model (FHMM) and Combinatorial Optimization (CO) disaggregates the combined household energy readings to device specific values. These values then get sent to a cloud database and are presented to the user through a Dashboard like visual interface. Therefore, the system in whole offers a combined solution to the user with minimal setup and cost to give a generic idea based on the energy usage, pattern, consumption. Such monitoring and systems can help efficient and responsible energy usage and can go a long way in ensuring sustainability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
