Internet of Things Based Monitoring System on Smart Home Micro Grid / Nur Iksan … [et al.]

The use of renewable energy sources such as solar power will be integrated through a smart grid so that households can become independent in providing electricity and not depend on PLN. Besides that, it can also reduce monthly electricity costs when integrated with the PLN electricity network. This study will develop a smart grid that is applied to a micro scale for household electricity needs or Smart Home Micro Grid (SHMG). This research will develop a monitoring system to be applied to SHMG. In SHMG, the IoT technology to be developed is applied to three modules, namely the Photovoltaic (PV) module, the AC and DC datalog module and the Monitoring-Controlling Grid (MCG) module. The IoT module consists of the Arduino Uno microcontrol, Zigbee transmitter and receiver, Xbee and the Thingspeak IoT platform. SHMG monitoring is carried out through Thingspeak as an IoT platform and smart phone application. The result of this research is SHMG monitoring result data accessed via the smartphone application. Monitoring result is Measurement data on solar panels Power, Voltage and measurement voltage on battery.
