Project Title: HOME ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (HEMS)

Project Sponsor: Date Prepared: 1-sep-19

Project Manager: Project Customer:

Project Purpose or Justification:

The project involves Design and Development of Home Energy Management System (HEMS) which smartly
Monitors, Controls and Manages Home Electricity Usage and Monitors & performs Audit of the Energy Consumed
by informing the charges of the Electricity being used, in real time, at the place where appliance is connected to
be viewed by the user. This real time on the spot Billed Amount information will compel consumer to manage and
reduce their energy use. Additionally the system also provides energy saving by controlling individual home
appliances as and when instructed by the Electricity utility company.

Project Description:
The Home Energy Management System (HEMS) consists of Central Monitoring Unit (CMU) and several Wireless
Sockets (WS) connected to appliances and lights and fans via Room's switch board. Through smart control of
electricity consumption user can save cost, Electric supplies companies load will reduce and save environment by
miss use of electricity.

Project and Product Requirements:

This project is Hardware and Software based to implement HEMS.
Hardware Requirements:

1-Wireless Sockets:
a- ESP8266 Node MCU Wi-Fi b- Electric Monitoring And Communication Module
2- Central Monitoring Unit
a-Android Tablet

2-Software Requirements:
App is required for monitoring all HEMS activities for user

Acceptance Criteria:
The user must be enabled to view information regarding all the appliances as well as provides the interface to
configure them. With CMU, the user can view ON/Off status, set auto ON/OFF schedule of any appliance, specify
power ratings of each appliance/load and configure priority of appliances/load being Low, Medium or High. The
user can also input and update all the Billing parameters on the CMU. These parameters are used for computation
of price of real time energy usage by the appliance to be displayed on CMU HMI and communicated to WS to
which load is connected) to be displayed in real time.

Initial Risks:
1-Implement hardware as per project statement.
2-Mutual communication of hardware and application.
3-Measure total house energy consumption accurately.
