Abstract

This research presents a design and implementation of an “Electrical Energy Management Process Automation” (EEMPA) in the residential area.  The system consists of an electrical energy management software that runs on a central control computer connected through a wireless network under the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and a mesh topology, to remote devices responsible for controlling residential lighting and air conditioning services with respect to electricity consumption and user parameter settings. The hardware design is based on the AVR® XMEGA® series microcontroller from Atmel®.  For the control algorithms development, an electrical energy consumption pattern study is conducted by installing sensors for detecting the presence of people as well as lamps and air conditioning system fan motor and compressor on/off state changes, an analysis of the collected data is performed and based on its results, design and simulation of the control algorithms are conducted on Matlab® simulation tool in order to be implemented later in the control software. EEMPA development will considerably reduce the electrical energy consumption in the residential sector.
