Design and Implementation of Smart Energy Management System for Reducing Power Consumption using ZigBee Wireless Communication Module

摘要

In this paper, we propose a Smart Energy Management System (SEMS) which functions as a control using a motion sensor and setting time of power usage to reduce power consumption. The SEMS not only supplies power as the way the common power strips do but also controls sockets of the SEMS using ZigBee wireless communication. A test bed for experiment consists of a motion sensor, the SEMS and three appliances which are connected to the SEMS and the experiment was conducted for five days to measure the power consumption of three appliances with regard to both functions. The experimental result shows that the power consumption of the SEMS with two functions is considerably reduced when compared with the power consumption of the common power strip.
