The demand for electrical energy is steadily increasing, and the buildings sector represents one of the largest energy end use. The larger amounts of that energy are wasted due to unnecessary heating and cooling. Several studies have shown that the major reason for this behavior lies in poor controls and the lack of feedback information. In this paper, a new management system is designed and constructed in order to perform saving the electrical energy. This system consist of an Arduino microcontroller with various sensors such as a temperature sensors, simple RF modules as well as actuators to control the air conditions. The principal work of this system is based on measure the temperatures of several rooms in the smart home, and then send these information wirelessly to main control device which employing better controls and feedback information to turns on only one air condition in one room at each time to save the electrical energy. The simple measurement shows that using the suggested system can save the electricity cost for every test case.
The aim of this paper is to design and construction a wireless control system for three phase loads balancing in a regional transformer. This system is designed to solve the problems of the loads imbalance to avoid the losses of the electricity in the distribution networks and also to protect the elements of the network like transformers from damages. The important parts of the wireless control system are the three phase smart energy meters which equipped at each house within this system. These meters send their electrical measurement quantities wirelessly to the main control system (base station). The base station uses the received electrical measurement quantities of the smart meters to investigate the equilibrium among the three phase lines of the transformer by swapping some phases of the houses. The swap phases are chosen according to the heuristic search algorithm and the equilibrium is achieved when the maximum acceptable rate of PUI (phasing unbalance index) is 10 %. Each smart meter in each house is equipped by six contactors used for the phases swapping. The designed wireless control system is tested in several experiment results to indicate it is performance.
