Abstract

This paper propose an intelligent electronic control unit system using GSM and GPS technology modules for the implementation of smart home in rural areas, with the intention of controlling and monitoring of energy usage by household electrical appliances, measurement and verification of power usage, and automated efficient use of secondary solar power as substitute of primary power supply (Eskom power supply) in South Africa. This will in turn help to reduce the high energy demand on the national grid and create low cost affordable energy to the consumers. The proposed home wireless energy management system will incorporate an intelligent electronic decision making unit with the purpose of detection of the presence or absence of primary power (Eskom) integrated together with solar power as alternative power supply to manage available power efficiently for free or at low cost. First iteration prototype has been designed and developed as discussed in this paper.
