Abstract

India is a very fast-developing country. Over 1.5 billion people reside in it and in the 21st century every activity associated with growth and development is complemented with very high energy demand. Hence, it is very challenging to ensure “Power for all” with the existing systems backed by non-renewable energy sources and a naïve system, which exists under the name of “Energy Management”. With the realization of the above-stated fact, it is high time to look into a smarter approach to energy management and step towards the goal of ensuring “Power to all”. By introducing a transparent operational system between the utility and the consumers we can implement a smarter technique in energy management, which benefits both the consumer and the utility in every possible way and also helps in improving customer-provider relations. In order to achieve the goal, we have come up with a solution by creating an interface between the utility and the consumer, enabling the customers to observe and map the peaks throughout the day. Based on that, a dynamic billing pattern can be set which will guide consumers towards a judicial usage of the existing power delivery and consumption system.
