ntelligent energy management strategy for cost optimization offers a new paradigm for energy users in Nigeria. This research developed Arduino based energy consumption rate meter for residential homes using multidisciplinary concepts in Mechatronics. The system features real time demand side management using composite design methodology (CDM). It comprises the metering and cloud server cluster units. The work introduced ACS712 Hall Effect current sensor, Arduino Uno (with ATmega328 chipset), and SIM800L GSM modules to achieve the system functionalities. The design description on editor run-time environment enabled direct debugging in the open source Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The approach was evaluated through selected case studies and usability experiments. With the latter, the suitability of the system provided an efficient means of monitoring energy consumption with minimal errors. The results showed that when the meter was switched-ON with no load, an output of 0.00kWh was read. By connecting i-core7 Dell Inspiron laptop to it, an output of 10.75kWh was then observed on the cloud web application (real time). The output kept increasing whilst the load was still connected to the meter as expected. Utilities can smartly provide value-added services using the system, thereby increasing their revenues while ensuring customers satisfaction.

Recent Trends in Data Science and its Applications

Each household, industry, or other setting that relies on energy must consider this. It is crucial to manage energy well and conserve it when using appliances. To do this, much research has been done to create smart lighting systems for rooms to save energy. In a separate study, researchers created an Internet of Things (IoT)-based Smart Home system to track energy use and ward off anomalies. Researchers have not attempted to automate appliance control to save energy in any studies. Most of them focus on using android devices to operate the appliances. As a result, we have created an IOT-based Smart Energy Meter system that uses information about light intensity and humidity to remotely operate appliances like Bulb at first. Moreover, the system consistently calculates the appliances' daily energy consumption, giving the user insight of how much energy is utilized over time. Moreover, a bill will be created, and the payment window for bills will be available. The Cloud server is updated with this information. Every family may conserve energy with this prototype method. Thus, cutting-edge technology like smart energy metres and AI-powered power management have the potential to completely change how we use and manage energy. Smart energy metres allow for real-time tracking and monitoring of energy use, giving consumers precise and in-depth data about their energy usage. Using machine learning algorithms to forecast energy usage trends and improve energy use, power management with AI goes one step further. To gather information from energy meters and send it to a cloud-based server for analysis and invoicing, the system employs Raspberry Pi as its central hub. The device removes the need for human meter readings and provides precise, real-time data to utility providers as well as their consumers. From personal residences to industrial facilities, this technology may be used to minimize waste and boost productivity in a variety of scenarios. People may significantly reduce their energy costs and help create a more sustainable future by implementing AIpowered power management solutions. Overall, smart energy metres and AI-powered power management have the potential to revolutionized how we use energy and contribute to the creation of a society that is cleaner, greener, and more sustainable.

The main aim of this paper is to monitor the amount of electricity consumed by a consumer. Generally, the energy consumption can be monitored by an electric device called Energy Meter. Every month one person comes from electricity board to our home and generates the electricity bill. So, by this manual work there are some errors like we don't know the bill generated by him belongs to us or not, we cannot see our usage. By using this system over IoT the cost and regular usage of power consumption can be informed to the user to overcome the high bill usage. The user can also track and control the loads in our home with the help of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) application and Arduino board through a Wi-Fi module and LDR Sensor.
