PROJECT TITLE :

A Novel Energy Management Approach for Smart Homes Using Bluetooth Low Energy

ABSTRACT:

Smart grids are an evolution of the present electric distribution systems because of the growing demand of energy, the expansion in the employment of renewable energy sources, and the event of novel and innovative information and Communication technologies (ICT). The installation of systems primarily based on wireless networks will play a key role within the extension of the good grid toward good homes, which will be deemed jointly of the foremost necessary elements of sensible grids. In fact, monitoring and control applications, energy harvesting, and innovative metering methodologies through sensible wireless devices are becoming increasingly necessary. This paper proposes a completely unique energy management approach for good homes that mixes a wireless network, primarily based on bluetooth low energy (BLE), for communication among home appliances, with a home energy management (HEM) scheme. The proposed approach addresses the impact of standby appliances and high-power rating hundreds in peak hours to the energy consumption charges of customers. Simulation results show that the proposed approach is efficient in terms of reducing peak load demand and electricity consumption charges with a rise within the comfort level of customers.
