MONITORING SYSTEM FOR RESIDENTIAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Abstract

The aim of the present paper is the management of the energy-consumption of a residential building, where the addressed case is to figure out the trends of reducing energy consumption through many aspects like intelligent decisions making which is mainly based on good informed management. A leaky bucket problem is an analogous case to the proposed vision of the energy consumption, where it is essential to know the whole image of the leaky bucket contains some leaking openings and their corresponding locations and sizes before starting to close the leaks. Consequently, it is a mandatory phase to learn the energy-consumption system of a building before implementing any decision to modify or to improve the energy system under consideration. Concisely, the main objective of the proposal is to process to control the operation the consumption of energy for a residential system by considering real-time basis. Therefore by providing an information about electricity based on real-time at different levels for the utilization and consumption is the main goal of such control. To have a visual and right image of energy consumption that is undergoes in a building, a monitoring operation can give an excellent feedback. A framework to control the energy consumption as well as the smart management is adopted to achieve this goal.
