The Development of Real-Time Energy Consumption Monitoring using IoT
Abstract
Energy shortage is a global challenge with significant implications for economies, societies, and the environment, including the Philippines. Promoting energy conservation in households is an effective approach to address this issue. In the Municipality of Midsayap, North Cotabato, Philippines, unmonitored energy consumption leads to excessive energy usage in households. To address this problem, this paper aims to research, build, test and implement a Real-Time Energy Consumption Monitoring (RECM) device using IoT technology. The RECM device, equipped with an SCT013 current sensor, enables real-time 24/7 monitoring of energy consumption. The monitored data is displayed in graphical and numerical formats using the Thing Speak cloud storage service. The RECM device was deployed in households, and a survey was conducted to evaluate its functionality and effectiveness. The results indicate that the design of the RECM device is a highly useful and efficient tool for real-time energy consumption monitoring. This paper provides circuit diagrams, wiring diagrams, and the list of materials used to develop the Real-Time Energy Consumption Monitoring (RECM) device using IoT.

The phenomenon of "chargers" is where visitors come to a cafe just to charge their smartphones or laptops without ordering food or drinks. This condition is becoming more prevalent due to various variables, including the rising utilization of smartphones and laptops, the necessity to charge devices while traveling, and cafés becoming the primary charging option due to their complimentary Wi-Fi and a conducive environment. The Smart Receptacle is a power outlet utilizing an ESP8266 microprocessor, capable of monitoring electric current and calculating use fees depending on a predefined program. This product utilizes the Internet of Things (IoT) to facilitate real-time monitoring of electric current via electronic devices. Smart Receptacle provides a solution for MSMEs, primarily targeting the Food & Beverage sector, while it is equally applicable to other industries necessitating efficiency and control in electricity consumption. This instrument can quantify the power utilized and compute the electricity consumption of each electrical gadget employed.
Many ports and terminals endeavor to enhance energy efficiency as energy prices have increased through years and climate change mitigation is a key target for the port industry. Stricter environmental regulations are adopted by authorities to limit pollutants and GHG emissions arising from energy consumption. Increasingly, green port operational strategies and energy usage patterns are under scrutiny. To ingrain sustainability and environmental protection of ports, the use of innovative technology appears as a critical conduit in achieving a transition from a carbon-intensive port industry (dependent on fossil fuels) to a low-carbon port model by harnessing renewable energy, alternative fuels (e.g. LNG, hydrogen, biofuel), smarter power distribution systems , energy consumption measurement systems. In this context, this paper conducts a systematic literature review to analyze operational strategies (e.g. peak shaving, operations optimization), technology usage (e.g. electrification of equipment, cold-ironing, energy storage systems), renewable energy, alternative fuels and energy management systems (e.g. smart grid with renewable energy) for improving the energy efficiency and environmental performance of ports and terminals. Research gaps and future research directions are identified. Analysis shows that there is a great potential for green ports to achieve further energy efficiency and researchers have many impactful research opportunities.

Modern technologies such the Internet of Things (IoT) offer a wide number of applications in the energy sector, i.e, in energy supply, transmission and distribution, and demand. IoT can be employed for improving energy efficiency, increasing the share of renewable energy, and reducing environmental impacts of the energy use. This paper reviews the existing literature on the application of IoT in in energy systems, in general, and in the context of smart grids particularly. Furthermore, we discuss enabling technologies of IoT, including cloud computing and different platforms for data analysis. Furthermore, we review challenges of deploying IoT in the energy sector, including privacy and security, with some solutions to these challenges such as blockchain technology. This survey provides energy policy-makers, energy economists, and managers with an overview of the role of IoT in optimization of energy systems.
The National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency sets targets for the years 2016 to 2020 in which energy efficiency is a European priority covering all Member States. Energy efficiency has been increasing its importance over the years National and international laws have been introduced to reinforce that concept. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept created to define the technological revolution of the devices used in day-to-day connected to the global Internet network. Thereby associating the need for monitoring of energy consumption to the paradigm of the Internet of Things, we intend to design and build an automatic system that allows monitoring and control of electrical devices connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi denominated by iPlug. This system is a smart plug that fits a generic socket and provides information of power consumption (s) device (s) connected to it by calculating the current and the line voltage, this information is stored in a database. The iPlug also lets you know whether the outlet is on or off, change your status, and access to consumption data through two applications, a Web portal and an application for iOS.
Assigned 129 participant households in Texas during the summer to 1 of 5 experimental conditions: A high monetary rebate condition in which Ss received conservation information, weekly written feedback on their electricity use, and monetary rebates amounting to a 240% price change in electricity; a low monetary rebate condition with the same structure as the high rebates except payments amounted to a 50% price change; a weekly feedback condition in which Ss also received information but no rebates; an information condition; and a control condition. The dependent measure was percentage reduction in electricity use based on actual weekly meter readings by the research staff. Only the high rebate condition significantly curtailed electricity use by about 12% over the course of the study. Elasticity estimates suggested limited responsiveness in electricity consumption to price changes. Questionnaire data showed a pattern in which actual reduction in electricity was associated with planning a conservation program, attending to feedback, and modifying air conditioning use.

The use of smart home technology in the home or building o_ers significant potential for energy savings. In this paper, we propose an energy management system based on wireless sensor networks. The proposed system is composed of two main components: a wireless sensor network and an intelligent home gateway. Wireless sensors are used for sensing and transmitting electricity data and remote monitoring and control of home appliances are provided to users through the intelligent home gateway. The system enables users to save energy by monitoring and controlling home appliances through web and mobile devices.
An IoT based real time energy monitoring system for controlling and monitoring of a switchgear industry is discussed in the present work. Raspberry Pi has been selected for this purpose due to low cost and a highly reliable technology for monitoring the energy consumption of the industry. The Raspberry Pi is used with Node.js programming language to collect the data (various electrical parameters) from the existing energy meters of the industry and to store it locally, for accessing it through Laptop or mobile phone using Grafana. The monitoring system is found be useful to the industry to understand the day-to-day energy pattern, which is essential to facilitate energy conservation measures for minimizing energy consumption.
The use of technology has become an essential part of improving lifestyle, work efficiency, and a catalyst for economic growth. The benefit of the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected nodes has been on a steep incline in recent years. This paper aims to research, build, test and implement a low-cost energy monitoring and control system using IoT devices. Electrical appliances (e.g., air conditioning units and overhead lighting) can be controlled and monitored using IoT technology from any place in the world. In order to accomplish this goal, a complete front-end to back-end system that includes a smart device application (iOS platform), a cloud-based database, an Application Programming Interface (API), and a hardware development is proposed. A small programmable specialized computing device (e.g., Raspberry Pi) for preliminary testing. This smart node was chosen due to familiarity, and its capabilities, such as general purpose pins and built-in Wi-Fi chip. The end goal is to observe energy efficiency by monitoring and controlling air conditioning appliances and standard overhead lighting units. These smart IoT devices allow for the usage energy data from each unit to be collected and stored in a Cloud-based database that can be analyzed and reported for energy conservation and analysis.
Energy monitoring and conservation holds prime importance in today's world because of the imbalance between power generation and demand. The current scenario says that the power generated, which is primarily contributed by fossil fuels may get exhausted within the next 20 years. Currently, there are very accurate electronic energy monitoring systems available in the market. Most of these monitor the power consumed in a domestic household, in case of residential applications. Many a times, consumers are dissatisfied with the power bill as it does not show the power consumed at the device level. This paper presents the design and implementation of an energy meter using Arduino microcontroller which can be used to measure the power consumed by any individual electrical appliance. Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging field and IoT based devices have created a revolution in electronics and IT. The main intention of the proposed energy meter is to monitor the power consumption at the device level, upload it to the server and establish remote control of any appliance. The energy monitoring system precisely calculates the power consumed by various electrical devices and displays it through a home energy monitoring website. The advantage of this device is that a user can understand the power consumed by any electrical appliance from the website and can take further steps to control them and thus help in energy conservation. Further on, the users can monitor the power consumption as well as the bill on daily basis.
Residential energy consumption accounts for 21% of the total electricity use in the United States. Unfortunately, research indicates that almost 41% of this power is wasted. Changing the way that consumers use energy may be important in reducing home energy consumption. This paper looks at whether the implementation of certain real-time energy monitors has an impact on the residential rate of energy consumption in a metropolitan area with relatively low electricity rates. In the following case study, 151 Omaha residences were equipped with two variants of the Aztech In-Home Display (Aztech) as well as the Blue Line Power Cost Monitor (PCM) real-time energy monitors for a period of 16 months. The results of the data, 30 days after installation, revealed a statistically insignificant reduction of 12% in mean electrical consumption in houses equipped with a PCM and no reduction in mean consumption in homes using either variants of the Aztech device when compared to a randomly selected control sample. However, they proved effective in the short term if utilized by utilities for mass distribution to foster awareness among participating residents of their own patterns of residential electricity consumption and on the environmental impacts of energy saving.
Numerous studies have shown that feedback on energy consumption can work to effectively reduce household energy consumption. However, relatively little work has been done on the best ways to present information in order to maximise energy savings. In this work, different ways of presenting feedback on electricity consumption were systematically analysed and user interface prototypes were developed based on the analysis. The prototypes were shown to consumers in qualitative interviews to gain information on how well they understood them and what kind of feedback they prefer to receive on their electricity consumption. The results show that the following features of feedback on electricity consumption are most valued by consumers: presentations of costs (over a period of time), appliance-specific breakdown, i.e. information on what proportion is consumed by each appliance, and historical comparison, i.e. comparison with their own prior consumption.
