Briefing
The purpose of the application is to use emerging Smart Grid technologies to help home users manage their electricity devices more efficiently – reduce energy consumption, lower cost, and generate profit.
It assumes smart appliances are widely used in a household, which provide real time consumption information of each device to the home network. The application monitors such information and presents it to the user.
It provides an interface for user to control the devices.
It receives the electricity price information from the grid, and presents it to the users. It monitors the statuses of the devices that generates power, and allows user to sell the extra power back to the grid
Scenario Tasks
- Compare today's power usage to the monthly average.
