Abstract :
In this paper, an effective and improved intelligent electrical power measurement and control operations of household appliances has been documented. The System has been designed and developed to monitor the electric parameters including voltage, current, phase angle and electric power consumption of a residence. The system is made up of intelligent realizing model which detects and regulates the household electric equipments for way of life by means of pursuing the contract price costs. It could keep costs low for the people and also boost the smart grid stability. The developed prototype has been carefully tested in the real home environment context for typical household appliances usages and the results are encouraging to apply in the real environment.
