Indoor Electrical Installation Design Layout Using IOT

Abstract

With the popularization of Internet of things (IOT) technology and the rise of the smart grid concept, a lot of theoretical research and practical exploration have been carried out on intelligent electrical construction at home. They enable communication between home appliances and users, and enhance home appliances’ automation, monitoring and remote-control capabilities. Persistent power crisis in Bangladesh leads to the necessity of using alternative method of power generation in short, mid and long-term basis. If solar panels be the alternative short-term power source, then per unit production cost is a huge barrier in making this technology popular among the mass. In this research paper, an intelligent wiring design for domestic house layout is carried out. Where, all the necessary electrical layout designs are designed using the Auto-CAD software. Solar panels are also being used for the purpose of load shedding. An intelligent system comprising of Arduino is also used, to control the loads and for energy saving. A proto type is then developed and tested, which resulted in high performance in terms of safety reliability and automation.
