Review of Renewable Energy Management System for Smart Home

VLSI and EMBEDDED SYSTEM

Energy consumption increases day by day as more appliances used in today’s home. Increasing energy demand and limitations of fossil fuels, time to use the renewable resources for energy generation in domestic areas. This paper reviews various energy saving techniques used in home automation and proposes renewable energy management system architecture for smart homes in which energy consumption and generation simultaneously for efficient energy, minimization of consumption and environment friendly. Microcontroller based energy management module with ZigBee is used to control and monitor the energy consumption of smart home. The propose system is used the solar and wind resources as these are not always available, also introduce water resources to generate the electricity. The charge controller, battery bank and battery level monitoring are used to provide stable energy module for smart home. Energy consumption should be minimized by users, can access home energy information through smart devices. The propose system save the limited fossil fuels, generated efficient energy and minimize energy consumption.
