Renewable Energy Management System in Home Appliances and Its Implementation in FPGA

Abstract

Energy saving and renewable energy sources are considered as methods of solving home energy problem. Both energy consumption and generation should be simultaneously considered to save the energy cost. The energy management and communication unit is used to distribute the generated energy for home appliances based on the information transferred from the home server using the Zigbee transmitter and receiver and power line communication (PLC). The home server updates these information to internet server. Using web server all functions are controlled. In extension the photo sensor is to be used to track angular moment of the sun by using solar tracking system and this increase the power generation and result in decreasing the utilization of energy from power distribution and cost.
