Energy management using Atmega2560 MCU for residential infrastructure

Abstract

Electricity demand has increased dramatically over the last decade, causing many energy management problems. Using a microcontroller to lower the energy consumption of your household infrastructure is one of the numerous strategies to deal with energy management difficulties. It implements a compact design prototype to deliver a comprehensive solution that uses an electronic microcontroller to measure, monitor, and manage energy consumption in a home. The primary purpose of Intelligent Residence is to ensure economic and optimized use of electricity. This article explained the planning, implementation, and application of an automated single-phase energy control action for residential power management. The following post describes measuring power and energy with an Arduino. Proper use of this system in residential infrastructure can significantly reduce overall energy consumption and electricity costs.
