The aim of this project is to implement a reliable energy monitoring system which can measure current and voltage values to calculate useful parameters in order to produce useful outcomes or to carry out certain functionalities like device identification, pattern recognition, cost prediction etc. For this a set of smart plug devices are connected to a central device via wireless technology. Smart plug is the data acquisition system which is used to measure current and voltage parameters necessary for the rest of the processes. The electrical appliances are connected to smart plug and devices obtain power through the smart plug to operate. By improving the smart plug and energy management system as above we hope to make a positive impact on energy consumption and financial sector of Sri Lankan domestic and industrial areas.
Overview
Human activity recognition has a wide range of applications such as remote patient monitoring, elderly monitoring, assisting disables and sports training. Presently the elderly population is growing alarmingly and as a result the number of elderly people are in need for care. Falls of elderly ones always lead to several health issues. This emphasizes the importance of monitoring people at risk of falling during their daily activities. The use of wearable sensors has made it possible to take prompt actions for a caregiver. Moreover, once a patient usually goes through a recovery process after an operation, he needs to follow a strict routine. Therefore, the use of these monitoring devices also provide links to clinicians to monitor and evaluate in progress physical rehabilitation activities.
