A smart energy management system for monitoring and controlling time of power consumption

Energy resources and their management is one of the prime challenges to the world especially low economy developing countries like Malaysia where the major contribution to energy generation is based on imports setting a considerable weight on the country economy. This overwhelming is causing affliction to policy makers and researchers. Domestic energy landscape has changed significantly over the years. From being an energy rich country a decade ago, Malaysia is slow and will soon be joining other countries that have to rely on imports in order to meet domestic demand. Hence, proper management of energy is a crucial issue that needs to be addressed to support the economy towards a higher growth trajectory. A holistic approach addressing the issues of energy supply, demand and pricing needs to be undertaken. In this research, a feedback and goal setting method is introduced in order to manage the high rise in peak demand. To obtain and monitor the desired mechanism, a high-tech system is proposed that involves some means of metering, display and communication layer having a live contact with the utility. A new package price is introduced here that might be of great user interest. This design is having an ability to be very effective in terms of electrical peak load management and a cost effective solution for different categories of users.
