Microcontroller based Smart Energy Saver with IoT Enabled Monitoring System for Domestic Loads

With the increasing importance on energy conservation and efficiency, effective management of electrical power remains as a critical concern. This research work introduces a cutting-edge solution that harmoniously integrates power factor correction and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) mitigation, aiming to optimize energy consumption within domestic settings. Driven by a microcontroller, the innovative system actively monitors and enhances power factor by minimizing the lag between supply voltage and current. Simultaneously, it employs LC filters to eradicate THD induced by non-linear devices. Leveraging IoT connectivity, homeowners gain real-time insights into power factor improvements and THD reduction through an intuitive interface. This integrated approach empowers users to judiciously manage electricity consumption, reduce utility bills, and contribute to a more sustainable energy ecosystem. It stands as a groundbreaking solution for modern energy-conscious households, addressing the urgent need for intelligent and eco-conscious energy management in today’s homes. The comprehensive methodology encompasses meticulous system design, sensor data processing, algorithmic power factor management, LC filter integration, and remote monitoring through Wi-Fi modules. Reaching out to a varied audience, the proposal outlines a practical and sustainable method for improving energy efficiency without incurring excessive costs.
