Design IoT Based Smart Electricity Power Saving University: Analysis from a Lecture Hall

Abstract

Managing and controlling the electricity consumption in a productive manner is a red hot topic in today's world. Many countries have considered this problem and they have suggested automate systems to overcome this problem. Since, Sri Lankan has not used such kind of automated system to control the electricity power consumption, our system will be a suitable solution for that. Today, IoT is a technological paradigm that is used to build such kind of automates systems. In our proposed system also, IoT and sensor technologies are used. It is a system that responds to human presence and provides related actions according to the human occurrences area environmental condition. It is control the electric devices such as lights, fans and AC in the lecture hall according to temperature and light intensity values that detect by the sensors. We used Kinect sensor to detect human presence. DHT22 and LDR sensors were used respectively to sensor the temperature, humidity and light intensity of human occupant area. Arduino-mega board was used to control the DHT22 and LDR sensors. In the research process we found the comfortable temperature and light intensity values that suitable for lecture hall and used those values to implement the prototype. Also, it provides real-time information such as current environmental condition of specific place and relevant messages including actions that need to take by using website. The main objectives of this research are reduce the wastage of electric power and provide suitable IoT based solution for reduced the electric power consumption.

Exploring quality attributes of smart classrooms from the perspectives of academics

“…Social challenges tend to revolve around three main considerations: personalization, engagement, and interactivity (Alfoudari et al, 2021). Personalization, i.e., supporting personalized features, ensures smart classrooms remain convenient, healthy, and safe (Zheng et al, 2019;Choi & Suk, 2016;Vasanthapriyan & Randima, 2019;Sevindik, 2010;Lee, 2015;Uzelac et al, 2015;Ouf et al, 2016). Challenges also arise in personalizing the learning environment to promote learning attitudes and motivation (Munawar et al, 2018;Tlili et al, 2019;Aguilar et al, 2017).…”

The Application of Energy Management Systems Using the Internet of Things to Improve the Efficiency of Electrical Energy Usage in the MSMEs Sector

“…This can affect the availability of electricity in two sectors where the amount is quite large. Monitoring the electrical energy of the MSME sector industry is necessary because electrical energy is currently inefficient and expensive [3].The accumulative average amount of consumer electrical power consumption can only be measured and controlled by looking directly at the kWh meter measuring instrument without knowing the number of usage rates [4]- [5]. The user needs to learn the load of the power tool used, so they can only control the electricity pulse once the electricity credit runs out quickly [6] and results in going over budget [7]- [8].…”

“…EMS includes all elements of the organization necessary to create and define energy policies to achieve strategic goals. Thus, it includes the organizational structure and information necessary to implement energy management, including resources [3]. The study develops and implements energy policy through planning, implementation, operation, monitoring and measurement, control and correction, internal audit, and regular management reviews [1][2][3][4][5][6][7].…”
