Abstract

Modern middle class Indian homes are equipped with multiple appliances such as refrigerator, tube lights, television, fans, washing machine and electric water heater with different ratings. At the end of each month, electricity distribution agency provides monthly bill to its customers. On this bill, the total consumption of electricity for the home is shown. However, this bill does not inform equipment wise power consumption, or its contribution in the total bill. In short, user does not know which equipments is mostly responsible for the total bill of the month. This information may be critical to take energy saving steps to reduce monthly consumption to lowest possible level. To satisfy this objective, it is necessary to have a system which will record power consumption of every device at home. In this paper, related literature is synthesized to design a proposed method of measurement and conceptual system architecture.
