Smart centralized power control for buildings using WSN

摘要

Power control is the mechanism used in industries, large organization as well as in small sectors like home automation for the reduction of transmitting output powering the communication system to achieve good performance of the system. The power management is a technical mechanism which is used in the network devices to prevent the interference between different wireless networks and reduce the used output power when other network is in the range. This reduction of the power increases the battery life for portable and embedded system; reduce cooling requirements, noise and the operating cost for energy and cooling. Nowadays the power control in different sectors is done manually which requires more human energy and time. This drawback can be avoided by the development and implementation of the smart centralized power control system to monitor all the electrical equipments of the entire building. The centralized system provides the wireless access to the electrical equipments of the building using the wireless sensor network for operating the equipment of the building and monitoring them from the remote location. The system makes the used of different wireless sensor for data transmission and the microcontroller as an embedded system to perform the required action for operating the particular equipment of the building. The development of the system leads to the establishment of low cost, flexible, easily accessible and a feasible system which would be beneficial to the consumer in terms of power consumption and time saving.
