Abstract:
Distributed renewable energy sources are becoming widely use in home area networks. These resources can be intelligently selected to maintain high efficiency power management at home and energy grids, which is the result of predicting the energy consumption of home appliances and evaluating the availability of distributed energy harvesters. In this paper, the test bed demonstrates a smart strategy on energy source selection and automatic power control for decentralized electrical equipment and appliances in a home area network. The proposed smart strategy within home takes into account real-time electricity pricing, environmental data from sensors and prediction of energy consumption based on the Grey Model forecasting. To provide a system-on-chip solution, the test bed adopts uIP stack (IPv6) in CC2530 chip to construct a star topology for the wireless sensor network.
