A SMART POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BASED ON GIS, RADIO SENSOR NETWORKS, AND CROWD-SOURCED DATA

Abstract

This thesis is based on our project entitled “A Smart Power Management System based on GIS, Radio Sensor Networks and Crowd-Sourced Data.” The main point of this project was to conceptualize the idea of smart off the grid mapping of the consumption of the electricity by the user, provided through volunteered geographic information and also develop a hardware device to acquire the irradiance data in real-time environment. The application consists of three modules, a web interface both for the consumer and the administrative users, a mobile application (initially for android) and a prototype for solar energy production mapping at household level.
