Energy management services based on home energy grid technology

In this paper, smart energy management services are illustrated based on home energy grid technology. Smart plugs are used to get the data of the appliances' power consumption. First, smart plugs are installed for each appliance in the smart home, detect the data of power consumption, and send them to the home energy grid server. And, the server processes the data to monitor the energy consumption and report the residents. Also, the server provides the interface to control appliances. Using the scheme, users can monitor their energy consumption, and control their appliances to avoid energy leakage.
