Abstract :

The recent worldwide methods for energy conservation, call for a larger awareness of the household energy consumption, as it is a significant contribution of domestic load to the national energy balance. The objective is to aim high potential energy savings solution by impacting the behavior habits of individual in their households. . As an objective to solve this scenario it requires that consumers do have a sophisticated feedback system, which provides better understanding and comparison of, how their action relates to their energy consumption, and by doing so they can optimize the use of electricity. To optimize the use of electrical energy, it is necessary to provide a sophisticated interface of energy consumption, with feedback system for motivating household to save it.. This paper propose an idea that how household electrical energy meters can be interfaced with AVR open source microcontrollers by interfacing it with MATLAB.
