Personal Energy Monitor

Today mankind is facing the worst energy crisis that has affected all segments of society. The gap between electricity demand and supply is widening with every passing day. According to energy experts the electricity demand is rising by 8-10 percent per annum. If this tendency continues, the electricity demand would rise phenomenally. Hence, it is the need of the hour to take pragmatic measures not only by increasing power generation capacity but also reduction of demand through energy conservation. Energy conservation is the only short term measure which can fill the gap between demand and supply. We can save a lot of electricity through energy conservation which must be taken immediately to cope with the shortage of electricity Simple changes in people´s behavior can quickly lead to significant energy savings, but such changes will only happen if the people are aware of the energy consumption that they have the power to control. Our project is another step in this regard. It uses state of art technology to implement a new way of harvesting the available energy resources by simply monitoring them to get our real-time energy usage data graphically.
