Energy Monitoring System Using Sensor Networks in Residential Houses
Abstract
The energy consumption of consumer electronics has been increasing over the past half century. Due to the growing importance of energy saving, many researches about the energy savings of information and communication technology have been presented. Providing residents with information on their energy use has become a feasible option to promote energy savings in the residential sector. In this paper, a home energy management system, particularly an energy monitoring system using sensor networks, is described. The authors designed and developed a smart power strip sensor network and evaluated its accuracy and energy saving efficiency. The conflict between cooperation in distributed state estimation and the resulting leakage of private state information (competitive privacy) is studied for an interconnected two regional transmission organizations (RTOs) model of the grid. Using an information theoretic ratedistortion-leakage (RDL) tradeoff model, each RTO communicates at a rate chosen to optimize an objective function that is dependent on two opposing quantities: a ratedistortion based pricing function that encourages cooperation, and a leakage function that impedes it. It is shown that strictly non-zero pricing incentives are required to achieve non-trivial target distortions This paper presents user-centric energy efficient lighting control architecture for street lamps. The system utilizes ZigBee technology to implement wireless mesh network of street lamps. The coordinator, serving as gateway between ZigBee nodes and internet, relays information of interests to remote user. The proposed system comprises of LED lamps, gateway node, and management software that offer remote monitoring and control of the lamps. Each LED lamp is integrated with ZigBee

Compact active damper is also applied to stabilize converter operation during dimmer firing with better efficiency and minimized components. The linear frequency control reduces conduction loss and guarantees DCM operation in the wide range of output voltage, which shows excellent power factor correction in single stage flyback topology.

Design and Development of Mamdani-Like Fuzzy Control Algorithm for a Wheeled Human-
Chock temperature control is an important issue in cold rolling mills. Traditional wired systems don't offer satisfactory results for practical use. Because of very low power consumption using Zigbee (IEEE 802.15.4) wireless technology, temperature sensors (up to 125 C ) suitable for a tandem cold mill environment have been developed. The complete monitoring system includes repeaters, a base receiver with transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) gateway, and a maintenance software. The results obtained in the tandem mill are collected. According to the characteristics of coal mine environment, in this paper we propose a multiparameter wireless sensor network monitoring system based on Zigbee technology for coal mine tunnel. The system can real-time monitor the underground environment and production parameters and intelligently give early warning by using a variety of sensors and wireless sensor network. It is flexible to add sensors and enhance stability of monitoring computer software through RS-485 communication protocol and hardware modular. Experiments have proved feasibility and good stability of the system. This paper describes the ISRobotCar, an experimental autonomous electric vehicle that integrates Robot Operating System (ROS) and several sensors such as IBEO laserscanner, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), RTK-GPS, vision cameras, and magnet detectors for magnetic guidance. The development of a power steering controller and of a fuzzy pathfollowing controller are particularly addressed. Finally simulations and experimental results of autonomous path-following control are presented. A wheeled human-conveyance vehicle (WHCV) with a low-level microprocessor is realized in

System stability is guaranteed by establishing sufficient conditions based on the Lyapunov stability analysis. Finally, experimental results show that the proposed Mamdani-like fuzzy control strategy can control the WHCV. The study of volcanic activity is important from a scientific point of view as it allows for a better understanding of one of the most spectacular geological phenomena and of the working principles that are at the basis of geophysics. Furthermore, there are numerous events that directly result from volcanic eruptions and that affect many populations. Therefore, improving the prediction methods of eruptive phenomena would be of great benefit. There are more than 1,500 potentially active volcanoes in the world, and roughly 10% of the world's popu

Intelligent Traction Control In this paper, a real-time intelligent traction Automation Model for Speed Sensor Vehicles control model for speed sensor vehicles in in Computer-Based Transit computer-based transit systems is proposed. System Using the Bayesian decision theory, the model analyzes speed sensor data to learn and classify the train traction conditions (i.e., spin/slip, normal, and slide) that are required for studying vehicle motion patterns. The patterns are applied on the sensor input in real-time format to classify train traction and reduce the error/risk of classification that may cause service interruptions and incidents. The model can enable us to manage a number of state natures (i.e., spin/slip, normal, and slide), features (i.e., delta speed and train speed), and prior knowledge traction conditions. This model engine can be implemented in any programming language in onboard or embedded computers. As a result, the impact of noisy sensors (inaccurate data) and its delays in such a hard real-time control system is mitigated. This conceptual model is applied to a case study with promising results for target and simulation systems An Electronic Patch for Wearable We report the development of an Electronic Biomedical Health Monitoring by Reflectance Patch for wearable health monitoring.

The objective of these applications is to ensure a continuous monitoring of vital parameters of plant operators in bio-power plants, while giving them the freedom of motion and thereby better quality of healthcare. The monitored signals are then transmitted to the control module through ZigBee Electronic Voting Machine - A Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) is a simple Biomedical Review electronic device used to record votes in place of ballot papers and boxes which were used earlier in conventional voting system. Fundamental right to vote or simply voting in elections forms the basis of democracy. All earlier elections be it state elections or centre elections a voter used to cast his/her favorite candidate by putting the stamp against his/her name and then folding the ballot paper as per a prescribed method before putting it in the Ballot Box. This is a long, time-consuming process and very much prone to errors. This situation continued till election scene was completely changed by electronic voting machine. No more ballot paper, ballot boxes, stamping, etc. all this condensed into a simple box called ballot unit of the electronic voting machine.

The core factor of the U-Healthcare fields is the monitoring technique for the patients. In this paper, designed the system which was composed of power line communication (PLC) device and a telemetry intravenous (IV) drip monitoring device were proposed. An additional LAN network formation is not needed for data communication by using PLC and we were able to reduce the costs by using already formed power grid.

The test results show that it can detect linear fall, non-linear fall and normal ride with high accuracy Low cost solar ECG with Cardiovascular disease is the world's leading Biomedical Bluetooth transmitter killer, accounting for 16.7 million or 29.2 per cent of total global deaths every year. The World Health Organization estimates that 60 per cent of the world's cardiac patients will be Indian by 2010. The reported prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in adult surveys has risen 4-fold over the last 40 years and even in rural areas the prevalence has doubled over the past 30 years. The Electrocardiograph (ECG) is a diagnostic instrument which measures the electrical activity of the heart, providing valuable information of cardiac disorders like infarction, Atherosclerosis, etc. ECG instruments used in hospitals are bulky, work on line voltage which makes the ECG waveform distorted and an isolation amplifier is needed for patient's safety making it expensive thus cannot be used in underdeveloped areas. We have developed an inexpensive portable solar powered ECG. 63% of all rural households in India do not have electricity and use fuel for lighting. Thus, being solar powered will eliminate its dependence on electricity and can easily be used in areas either with no electricity or with lots of load shedding. The electrocardiogram will be free from the line frequency noise. Advantage of this equipment is the backup option of charging the batteries using a simple mobile charger. The device is capable of acquiring up to 34 hours of continuous electrocardiogram data at a sample rate of 500 Hz. The ECG is also transmitted to the patient's cell phone or a computer with the help of a Bluetooth transmitter.

processing unit and user interface platform from a bulky personal computer to a smartphone (iPhone) has significantly facilitated its usage by turning it into a true wireless and wearable AT. After implementation of the necessary interfacing hardware and software to allow the smartphone to act as a bridge between the TDS and PWC, the wheelchair navigation performance and associated learning was evaluated in nine able-bodied subjects in five sessions over a 5-week period. Subjects wore magnetic tongue studs over the duration of the study and drove the PWC in an obstacle course with their tongue using three different navigation strategies; namely unlatched, latched, and semiproportional. Qualitative aspects of using the TDS-iPhone-PWC interface were also evaluated via a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Subjects showed more than 20% improvement in the overall completion time between the first and second sessions, and maintained a modest improvement of ~9% per session over the following three sessions. This paper presents a new tool for assessment and therapy in post-stroke upper-limb rehabilitation and a new wireless sensor technology to enhance rehabilitation robotics based on the ZigBee network of wearable Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) and Surface Electromyography (sEMG) sensor nodes. These sensor nodes will allow the measurement of kinematic and electrical muscle activity of patients in continuous therapy motion over all body segments as a Body Sensor Network (BSN). The IMU Sensor design was based on a direction-cosine-matrix DCM. The system validation was achieved with an optical motion tracking system in which cameras and IMU sensors recorded upper limb positions simultaneously during a standard gesture of reaching and grasping. The comparison between elbow flexion-extension angle in reaching and grasping movements obtained from both techniques shows equivalence. The

analysis of IMU data signals for several movements demonstrates high repeatability intra and inter-subjects. A Smart Health Monitoring Chair We developed nonintrusive methods for Bio Medicine for Nonintrusive Measurement of simultaneous electrocardiogram, Biological Signals photoplethysmogram, and ballistocardiogram measurements that do not require direct contact between instruments and bare skin. These methods were applied to the design of a diagnostic chair for unconstrained heart rate and blood pressure monitoring purposes. Our methods were operationalized through capacitively coupled electrodes installed in the chair back that include high-input impedance amplifiers, and conductive textiles installed in the seat for capacitive driven-right-leg circuit configuration that is capable of recording electrocardiogram information through clothing. Photoplethysmograms were measured through clothing using seat mounted sensors with specially designed amplifier circuits that vary in light intensity according to clothing type. Ballistocardiograms were recorded using a film type transducer material, polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF), which was installed beneath the seat cover. By simultaneously measuring signals, beat-to-beat heart rates could be monitored even when electrocardiograms were not recorded due to movement artifacts. Beat-to-beat blood pressure was also monitored using unconstrained measurements of pulse arrival time and other physiological parameters, and our experimental results indicated that the estimated blood pressure tended to coincide with actual blood pressure measurements. This study demonstrates the feasibility of our method and device for biological signal monitoring through clothing for unconstrained long-term daily health monitoring that does not require user awareness and is not limited by physical activity.

common control mode. The new mode designs an adjustable dead time to improve reliability of the control system. If the dead time is smaller, armature current is continuous; if the dead time is larger, armature current is intermittent. When armature current is continuous, the new mode not only has the advantages of bipolar mode, but also prevents the same side MOSFETs from direct connection. When armature current is intermittent, motor has quicker response than controlled by limited Single polarity mode. Theoretical analysis and experimental research show that the new mode is practical and feasible. An Enhanced ZigBee Indoor This paper presents a framework for ZigBee Communicati Positioning System With an indoor positioning with an ensemble approach. on Systems Ensemble Approach This approach exploits the complementary advantages of various algorithms, weights the estimation results, and combines them to improve accuracy. This is achieved by dynamically analyzing the diverse patterns of inputs and combining base positioning algorithms with spatial dependent weights. The experiments were conducted in a realistic ZigBee sensor network. Results demonstrated that the proposed approach apparently achieves more accurate location estimation than the compared methods including the gradient-based search, linear squares approximation, multidimensional scaling, fingerprinting method, and a multi-expert system.

Cooperative Wireless Sensor Consumer Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) in recent Environments Supporting Body Electronics years have received significant attention, due Area Networks to their potential for increasing efficiency in healthcare monitoring. Typical sensors used for WBAN are low powered single transceiver devices utilizing a single channel for transmission at the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. However, performance of these devices usually degrades when the density of sensors increases. One approach to counter this performance degradation is to exploit multiple channels at the MAC layer, where optimal usage of the channels is achieved through cooperation between the sensor nodes. In this paper we propose a cooperative WBAN environment that supports multi-hop transmission through cooperation involving both environmental sensors and WBAN nodes. Our solution extends the cooperation at the MAC layer to a cross-layered gradient based routing solution that allows interaction between WBAN and environmental sensors in order to ensure data delivery from WBANs to a distant gateway. Extensive simulations for healthcare scenarios have been performed to validate the cooperation at the MAC layer, as well as the cross-layered gradient based routing. Comparisons to other cooperative multi-channel MAC and routing solutions have shown the overall performance improvement of the proposed approach evaluated in terms of packet loss, power consumption and delay.

shown that the time-varying wireless communication delay may have a significant impact on the performance of power inverters. In this work, we aim to fill this gap and study the performance of distributed power inverters under the scenario of wireless-enabled smart microgrids. We first study the power inverter performance by taking into account the timevarying wireless communication delay. Then, we propose an optimal controller to overcome the delay problem and to provide a smooth load sharing performance. Both theoretical and simulation results show the effectiveness and responsiveness of the proposed controller design Recently intensive efforts have been made on the transformation of the world's largest physical system, the power grid smart grid x and communication infrastructures. Key features in smart grid penetration of renewable and distributed energy sources, large-scale energy storage, market-based online electricity pricing, and widespread demand response programs. From the perspective of residential customers, we can investigate how to minimize the expected electricity cost with real-time electricity pricing, which is the focus of this paper. By jointly considering energy storage, local distributed generation such as photovoltaic (PV) modules or small wind turbines, and inelastic or elastic energy demands, we mathematically formulate this problem as a stochastic optimization problem and approximately solve it by using the Lyapunov optimization approach. From the theoretical analysis, we have also found a good tradeoff between cost saving and storage capacity. A salient feature of our proposed approach is that it can operate without any future knowledge on the related stochastic models (e.g., the distribution) and is easy to implement in real time. We have also evaluated our proposed solution with practical data sets and validated its effectiveness.

Based on the allocated priority, home appliances are scheduled according to the predicted output of renewable sources and the forecast electricity market price. In addition, to effectively schedule appliances according to the real-time output of renewable sources and the electricity market price changes, which generally deviate from the corresponding forecasting, an algorithm for realtime household load scheduling is proposed and its benefits on cost and energy efficiency are discussed as well. Acoustic emission (AE)-signal-based techniques have recently been attracting researchers' attention to rotational machine health monitoring and diagnostics due to the advantages of the AE signals over the extensively used vibration signals. Unlike vibration-based methods, the AE-based techniques are in their infant stage of development. From the perspective of machine health monitoring and fault detection, developing an AE-based methodology is important. In this paper, a methodology for rotational machine health monitoring and fault detection using empirical mode decomposition (EMD)-based AE feature quantification is presented. The methodology incorporates a threshold-based denoising technique into EMD to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the AE bursts. Multiple features are extracted from the denoised signals and then fused into a single compressed AE feature. The compressed AE features are then used for fault detection based on a statistical method. A gear fault detection case study is conducted on a notional split-torque gearbox using AE signals to demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodology. A fault detection performance comparison using the compressed AE features with the existing EMD-based AE features reported in the literature is also conducted

A Reconfigurable Snake Robot Based on CAN-Bus
Most oil pumping units (OPUs) have been using manual control in the oilfield. This existing oilpumping system, a high power-consuming process, has the incapability of OPU's structural health monitoring. In this paper, a sensor network based intelligent control is proposed for power economy and efficient oilwell health monitoring. The proposed sensor network consists of three-level sensors: (1) several types of basic sensors, such as load sensor, angular sensor, voltage sensor, current sensor and oil pressure sensor, which are the first level sensors (FLS), are used for oilwell data sensing; (2) our developed intelligent sensors (IS), which belong to the second level sensor, are designed mainly for an oilwell's data elementary processing, main fault alarm/indication, typical data storage/indication, data/status transmission up to the third level sensor (TLS), data/status transmission between IS, and command transmission down to the OPU motor; and (3) our developed software-defined (SD) control centers with an embedded database, i.e., the TLS, are designed for hundreds of oilwells data storage/management, data processing, malfunction detection, malfunction alarm/indication, stroke-adjustment command transmission down to a specific IS for power economy and the malfunction report to the maintenance staff via global system for mobile communications (GSM) short message service (SMS). Experiment results at the Chinese Petroleum's Changqing Oilfield demonstrate our proposed sensor network based system. This paper introduces the project "Snake Robot" we made for our National Innovation Fund. This snake robot has the ability to creep and wriggle. It adapts reconfiguration in the design of mechanism, control and supervising software, and brings in CAN-Bus which makes it possible that snake robot can extend infinitely in theory.

The classification module determines the type of detected road signs using a Multi-layer Perceptron neural networks. An extensive experimentation has shown that the proposed approach is robust enough to detect and recognize road signs under varying translation, rotation and lighting conditions. Designing an Adaptive Acoustic There is a growing interest in using underwater Electronics Modem for Underwater Sensor networked systems for oceanographic Engineering Networks applications. These networks often rely on acoustic communication, which poses a number of challenges for reliable data transmission. The underwater acoustic channel is highly variable; each link can experience vastly different conditions, which change according to environmental factors as well as the locations of the communicating nodes. This makes it difficult to ensure reliable communication. Furthermore, due to the high transmit power, the energy consumed in transmitting data is substantial, which is exacerbated at lower data rates. The main challenge that we address in this article is how to build a system that provides reliable and energy efficient communication in underwater sensor networks. To this end, we propose an adaptive underwater acoustic modem which changes its parameters according to the situation. We present the design of such a modem and provide supporting results from simulations and experiments.

Market-based electricity pricing provides consumers an opportunity to lower their electric bill by shifting consumption to low price periods. In this paper, we explore how to lower electric bills without requiring consumer involvement using an intelligent charging system, called SmartCharge, and an on-site battery array to store low-cost energy for use during high-cost periods. SmartCharge's algorithm reduces electricity costs by determining when to switch the home's power supply between the grid and the battery array. The algorithm leverages a prediction model we develop, which forecasts future demand using statistical machine learning techniques. We evaluate SmartCharge in simulation using data from real homes to quantify its potential to lower bills in a range of scenarios. We show that typical savings today are 10-15%, but increase linearly with rising electricity prices. We also find that SmartCharge deployed at only 22% of 435 homes reduces the aggregate demand peak by 20%. Finally, we analyze SmartCharge's installation and maintenance costs. Our analysis shows that battery advancements, combined with an expected rise in electricity prices, have the potential to make the return on investment positive for the average home within the next few years.

The server also determines the location of the accident spot through the sensor systems in the vehicle which encountered the accident and thus the server walks through the ambulance to the spot. This scheme is fully automated, thus it finds the accident spot, controls the traffic lights, helping to reach the hospital in time. Distributed and Remote Control - Under technological advancement, technology Gsm &Gps Based on Smart House allows human life to be more convenient and safer. This study used LabView as the system development software and the computer on the server side, to develop an intelligent distributed monitoring system for monitoring household electronic appliances. Besides controlling the server-end, network and GSM system were used to construct remote control and monitoring capabilities. The communication between the server end and each control end was through ZigBee, thus achieving a wireless network. Leveraging Smartphone Cameras Ubiquitous smartphones are increasingly Gsm &Gps for Collaborative Road becoming the dominant platform for Advisories collaborative sensing. Smartphones, with their ever richer set of sensors, are being used to enable collaborative driver-assistance services like traffic advisory and road condition monitoring. To enable such services, the smartphones' GPS, accelerometer, and gyro sensors have been widely used. On the contrary, smartphone cameras, despite being very powerful sensors, have largely been neglected.

collaborative sensing platform that exploits the cameras of windshield-mounted smartphones. To demonstrate the potential of this platform, we propose several services that it can support, and prototype SignalGuru, a novel service that leverages windshield-mounted smartphones and their cameras to collaboratively detect and predict the schedule of traffic signals, enabling Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory (GLOSA) and other novel applications. Results from two deployments of SignalGuru, using iPhones in cars in Cambridge (MA, USA) and Singapore, show that traffic signal schedules can be predicted accurately. On average, SignalGuru comes within 0.66 s, for pretimed traffic signals and within 2.45 s, for traffic-adaptive traffic signals. Feeding SignalGuru's predicted traffic schedule to our GLOSA application, our vehicle fuel consumption measurements show savings of 20.3 percent, on average Capability to track the mobility pattern of children and elders can enable many useful applications. Assisted GPS (AGPS) and Wi-Fi can be used to precisely calculate the location of a person, but AGPS consumes a lot of power and Wi-Fi coverage is often spotty. On the other hand, Cell ID offers ubiquitous coverage in most inhabited environments, low power consumption, but has the disadvantage of lower accuracy. This paper introduces an energy-efficient cellular and AGPS/Wi-Fi tracking system based on the construction of a mobility map from a person's historical location data. A location map consists of a set of crucial locations (CL), personal common locations (PCL), and routes. CL is a point that terminates several routes and PCL is a place where the person spends a lot of time in. The tracking process is divided into four parts: data collection, offline data processing, online tracking, and path reconstruction. With the use of the mobility map, AGPS fixes can be significantly reduced and a more accurate recognition of the person's location can be provided during the tracking phase

In this work, we propose a new approach alongside the typical method, to control the motorized wheelchair using EOG signals. The new approach grants the user to look around without restraint, while the wheelchair navigates automatically to the desired goal point. Only EOG signals are used to control the wheelchair; eye gazing and blinking. The user can still appoint to control the wheelchair using the typical manual method in case the surroundings and obstacle structures do not assist with the new developed auto navigation method. In the new auto navigation approach the microcontroller can attain the goal point direction and distance by calculating the gaze angle of the user. Bug2 algorithm is utilized to navigate the wheelchair in the auto controlling method. Experimental tests show slightly different results than theory, because the bug algorithms cannot continuously update the robot's position data in experiments A real time traffic light control Consumer Global warming is a very serious problem which scheme for reducing vehicles Communicati is becoming ever worse as the growth in the CO2 emissions ons number of vehicles. This paper presents a real time traffic lights control scheme for reducing vehicles CO2 emissions based on the Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) installed vehicles. Real time road conditions are obtained by wireless communication between the vehicles and the traffic lights based on the Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) technology. A decision tree classification algorithm is used to calculate optimal average waiting time, then to calculate the CO2 reductions. Compared with fixed-time control, simulation results indicate that more than 26.9% idling time CO2 emissions can be reduced when traffic flow is heavy, meanwhile vehicles have a 0.07 higher probability to pass the intersection by non-stop when traffic flow is light Remotely controlled e-Health Design improvements to a remotely controlled communication and control Networking system for patients with limited mobility are system for limited mobility described. This system provides individuals communication and control of the room environment with mouse control that can be #62, Jeenis Road, 1st Floor, Saidapet, Land Mark: Opp. Post Office Chennai-600015.
