Energy Tracker

In the existing power utility set up, consumers are presented with usage information only once a month with their bill. The length of time between updates about power usage is far too long for a consumer to observe a changed behavior’s effect on power usage.

An opportunity to educate customers on power usage is lost because of these realities.

If a person can instantaneously see how much power consumes per minute, they may be more careful in the future about letting devices run when not needed.

The goal of creating more awareness about energy consumption would be optimization and reduction in energy usage by the user. This would reduce their energy costs, as well as conserve energy.

Our implementation aims at sweeping out this manual strategy by a web and application level interface. We are providing an android application which is that user friendly to the end user side such that the reading of the electric meter is directly as a digital input from the hardware.

Cost optimization seems the facial strategy but it turns out to be a lot easier.

If a person can instantaneously see how much power leaving a device on by accident consumes per minute, they may be more careful in the future about letting devices run when not needed. The goal of creating more awareness about energy consumption would be optimization and reduction in energy usage by the user.

This would reduce their energy costs, as well as conserve energy.
