Adapting Internet of Things and Neural Network in Modelling Demand Side Energy Consumption and Management

With the recent application of micro-grid system and off-grid renewable energy power system using internet of things (IoT) for the efficacy in demand side consumption management. The study employed usage of IoT supported with statistical initiative (logistic regression) to develop a knowledge-based solution for energy demand side consumption management. The research adopted two approaches to model the energy consumption pattern of a user with designed sensor nodes for environmental data acquisition (DAC) monitoring and state of switches (load points). Leveraging on Internet of Things, the sensor node network transferred synchronized the data collected to Google Firebase cloud storage in real time. The data collected were used to train a logistic regression model for the prediction states of the receptacles and sensor readings. The study further investigated power usage (user) against human presence and hour (period) of the day separately and a mathematical model of the relationship was developed. The results revealed customer’s energy consumption; this includes models for the future projection. The model can be deployed to predict energy management on the demand side efficiency and availability indices. The models could support energy management including receptacle automation prediction and wastage monitoring.
