Smart architecture for home area electrical grid in India

Abstract

One of the major problems, which the Indian electrical grid faces, is the lack of an efficient power management scheme. The proposed communication terminology supports the management of power in the home environment. Real time awareness is provided to the customers regarding extra power consumption. In peak power consumption periods, the consumer can chose to incur the financial charges by using all their home appliances or be supported to operate any appliance they wish by switching off some other lower priority appliances. These smart electrical homes also support authorities to control the extra power requirement during peak hours.
