Abstract
Electricity is an important ingredient for socioeconomic development of a society. In households electricity has an impact on living standard, health, education and so many. IoT is an automated computer system, an Internet-connected entity capable of storing and transmitting data without human interaction through the WIFI network. Bangladesh has energy shortage, but renewable energy, on the other hand has tremendous promise. To satisfy the rising demand for electricity, renewable energy could be a potential solution. Among several renewable sources we integrated foot step energy from piezoelectric sensor and solar energy conversion system to operate the electrical loads. Arduino Nano is used for programming purpose. IOT is implemented to monitor real time energy usage by electrical loads in kilowatt-hour (unit) rating and calculate the cost of consumed energy. By using IOT we can also control the whole system via a website. After the connection of all the components with Arduino Nano , the power is delivered to the Arduino and simultaneously the Wi-Fi module is powered. Then a connection is established between Wi-Fi module and access point through which can upload and access the sensor value over internet. The control taken through the user are send by Arduino Nano and uploaded over the cloud server, then from the cloud server the controller retrieves the data through Wi-Fi module and performs the required action, depending on the control signal provided by the user. Hardware based system has been developed and found the system works well. However, access to it has been difficult in our countries due to different reasons, cost being one of them. This project proposes a low-cost small electrical loads controlling and monitoring system using IoT that can benefit the user . This system have features that we can use for better control and monitor the electrical loads using sensor networks and communications, real time power consumption and pricing reduced operations and management cost , increased the efficiency by saving time and reducing power loss. This project will also expand the deployment of renewable energy sources.
