Abstract

The paper proposes a design and prototyping of an intelligent electronic control unit system intended for the implementation of smart home in urban and rural areas, with the intention to control and monitor energy usage by household electrical appliances. Measurement, verification of power usage, and automated efficient use of Solar power as substitute of primary power supply (Eskom power supply) in South Africa in order to reduce the high energy demand on the national grid and create low cost affordable energy to the consumers. The proposed wireless energy management system will incorporate and interface with the distribution Box (D-Box) with intelligent electronic and digital system unit with the purpose to detect presence or absence of primary power (Eskom) integrated together with solar power as alternative power supply to manage available power efficiently for free or at low cost.
