CASE ANALYSIS REPORT

Project title - IoT-Based Power Consumption Monitoring System

1. Existing Products:
These days we can see that there are so many living beings using the electricity power
very much on the basis of their daily needs and this is being affected to the upcoming
future generations and not being sustainable for future generations and we are not even
knowing how much power we are consuming on what requirements which is why we
could see the power consumption more these days.
2. Case Studies:
Background:
A company specializing in energy management solutions wanted to develop a system that
could monitor power consumption in real-time and provide users with insights into their
energy usage patterns. The goal was to help users make informed decisions to reduce their
energy consumption and costs.
Objective:
The objective of the project was to create an IoT-based system that could measure and
analyze power consumption data, store it in a central database, and provide users with a
user-friendly interface to view their energy usage patterns.

Implementation:
The system consisted of the following components:

IoT Devices: These devices were installed at various points in the user's home or building
to measure power consumption. The devices were equipped with sensors to collect data
and send it to a central server.

Central Server: The central server received data from the IoT devices, processed it, and
stored it in a database. The server also hosted a web application that provided users with a
dashboard to view their energy usage data.

Database: The database stored the power consumption data collected from the IoT devices.
It was designed to handle large volumes of data and provide fast access to the data for
analysis.

User Interface: The web application provided users with a dashboard where they could
view their energy usage data in real-time. The dashboard displayed information such as
current power consumption, historical usage data, and tips for reducing energy
consumption.
2. Requirement of Innovative Design/Idea:
a. Scalability: The design should be scalable to accommodate high foot traffic areas like
bus stops.
b. Efficiency: Ensure maximum energy conversion efficiency from pressure to
electrical energy.
c. Durability: The system should withstand constant pressure from foot traffic and
varying weather conditions.

d. Smart Energy Monitoring Devices: Develop IoT devices that not only measure power
consumption but also provide real-time feedback to users on how to optimize their
energy usage. For example, the device could suggest turning off certain appliances
during peak energy usage times.

e. Predictive Analytics: Use machine learning algorithms to predict future energy

consumption based on past data and external factors (e.g., weather forecasts,
occupancy patterns). This can help users anticipate high consumption periods and take
proactive measures to reduce energy usage.

f. Integration with Renewable Energy Sources: Create a system that not only monitors
power consumption but also integrates with renewable energy sources (e.g., solar
panels, wind turbines). This allows users to track their renewable energy generation
and overall energy usage, promoting sustainability.

g. Gamification: Implement gamification elements into the monitoring system to engage

users and encourage them to reduce their energy consumption. For example, users
could earn points or badges for achieving energy-saving goals.

h. Mobile App Interface: Design a user-friendly mobile app that allows users to monitor
their energy usage remotely, receive notifications about unusual consumption patterns,
and control their appliances remotely to optimize energy usage.

i. Community Sharing Platform: Create a platform where users can share their energy-
saving tips and strategies with others in the community. This fosters a sense of
community engagement and encourages collective efforts to reduce energy
consumption.
 j. Energy Consumption Insights: Provide users with detailed insights into their energy
consumption patterns, such as which appliances consume the most energy and how
usage varies throughout the day. This empowers users to make informed decisions
about their energy usage habits.

k. Integration with Smart Home Systems: Integrate the energy monitoring system with
existing smart home systems (e.g., Amazon Alexa, Google Home) to enable voice
control and seamless integration with other smart home devices.
