Efficient Energy Management System Using IoT

Abstract

Energy conservation is a crucial aspect in both residential and industrial sectors. The rising energy demand necessitates smart monitoring and optimization of power consumption. This paper presents the development of an IoT-based energy management system utilizing an ESP32 (Node MCU) microcontroller, current and voltage sensors, and an I2C display module. The system efficiently calculates and monitors electrical parameters such as voltage, current, power, and watts of various household and industrial appliances like fans, light bulbs, and mixer grinders. The collected real-time data is displayed on an I2C LCD module and remotely monitored via the Blynk IoT platform on mobile and system interfaces. The primary goal of this project is to identify high- energy-consuming appliances and optimize their usage for better energy efficiency. The system provides real-time insights to help users take appropriate measures to reduce unnecessary energy consumption and promote cost-effective power utilization.
