GSM based load monitoring system with ADL classification and smart meter design

Abstract

This paper introduces a method for the classification of activities of daily living (ADL) by utilizing smart meter and smart switch data in a synergistic approach. Through the integration of these internet of things (IoT) devices, the paper aims to enhance the application of ADL classification. Guided by recent advancements in load monitoring and energy management systems, the methodology incorporates machine learning techniques to analyze data streams from both the smart meter and smart switch. Drawing inspiration from prepaid smart meter monitoring systems, IoT-based smart energy meters for optimizing energy usage, and energy metering chips with adaptable computing engines, our design incorporates diverse perspectives. Additionally, we consider the utilization of mobile communication for prepaid meters, remote detection of malfunctioning smart meters, and an empirical investigation into the acceptance of IoT-based smart meters. We substantiate our proposed approach through experimental results, showcasing its effectiveness in accurately classifying diverse ADL scenarios. This research contributes to the field of smart home technology by offering an advanced method for ADL classification. The integration of smart meter and smart switch data provides a comprehensive understanding of energy consumption patterns, opening avenues for improved energy management and informed decision-making within smart homes.
