Abstract:
Green IT and smart grid technologies have changed electricity infrastructure more efficiently. Recent advances in wireless and mobile communications technologies facilitate context-aware power management systems which can offer situation-based services in digital home. In this paper, we propose a novel smart home energy management system (SHEMS) with hybrid sensor networks. Hybrid sensor networks consist of two types of sensors: the power information monitoring sensor (PIMS) and the environment information monitoring sensor (EIMS). To maximize the hybrid sensor network lifetime, we propose a new routing protocol based on cooperation between PIMS and EIMS, which we named the CPER. In order to verify the efficiency of our system, we implemented our system in real test bed and conducted some experiments. The results show that the reduction in service response time, the average number of packet transmissions, and energy consumption is approximately 29.8%, 42.3 and 17-22%.
