Abstract


With the continuous rise of electrical energy costs for heating, cooling, and ventilation and the increasing number of energy-consuming home appliances, designing a cost-effective efficient residential electric energy management system has become crucial. This paper presents a prototype simulated design of a Smart Home Energy Management System (SHEMS), dedicated to the management of residential electrical energy according to the user-preassigned comfort requirements and cost criteria. All planted sensors and home appliances are controlled by one master microcontroller. The Proteus Software ISIS was used for all simulation results.  The proposed application collects information from sensors to control the required home appliances by switching them ON or OFF based on a specified design algorithm. The sensors' assigned values and home appliance status are stored in a main database. The proposed design also allows home appliances to be monitored and controlled remotely via the Internet. Simulated results are given for a two-room residential home.
