The growing use of smart electricity meters means that real-time information relating to residential electricity consumption is readily available. The globally recognized need to manage and improve the efficiency of our use of electricity, and the need in most jurisdictions to increase the integration and utilization of non-dispatchable renewable energy sources, provides a strong motivation for in...Show More
Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) technology can obtain detailed residential electricity load data and provide data support for smart home energy management. Based on the non-intrusive load data set, this paper performs analysis on the electricity consumption data of all electrical equipment, calculates residents' electrical appliance usage duration, usage frequency, and electricity consumption...Show More
Residential energy consumption accounts for 21% of the total electricity use in the United States. Unfortunately, research indicates that almost 41% of this power is wasted. Changing the way that consumers use energy may be important in reducing home energy consumption. This paper looks at whether the implementation of certain real-time energy monitors has an impact on the residential rate of ener...Show More
Smart Cities have emerged as a strategy to solve problems that current cities face, such as traffic, resource management, waste, pollution, etc. Most of the Smart City proposals are based on placing sensors in fixed locations of the city or, at the most, in public transportation systems. These strategies can produce blind zones, given that the sensors are fixed or their movement cannot be controll...Show More
One serious issue related to falls among the elderly living at home or in a residential care facility is the “long lie” scenario, which involves being unable to get up from the floor after a fall for 60 min or more. This research uses a simulated environment to investigate the potential effectiveness of using wireless ambient sensors (dual-technology (microwave/infrared) motion detectors and press...Show More
Tank flooding have become major causes of pollution both in residential and industrial areas majorly caused by overflows of water(mostly residential) and volatile poisonous industrial liquids from the storage tanks. An effective way of avoiding this problem will be by deploying some mechanism to monitor liquid level at each point in time and escalating unusual liquid levelsto a pump control circui...Show More
Detailed energy consumption information of household appliance is meaningful for the demand side management (DSM) and home energy conservation. In this paper, a novel non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) method is proposed for residential energy management systems(REMS). Unlike existing NILM techniques, this method works effectively with very few smart meter measurement parameters obtained at a lo...Show More
A glance on the developments of the railway safety system reveals that the consistent research has made a remarkable progresses finding and devising techniques to alleviate noise and vibration resulting from wheel and rail interaction alongside the railway track infrastructure.

Identifying pollution sources, assessing their effects on human health and the environment, and developing plans to enhance air quality are all made possible by the practice of air quality monitoring, which is crucial to understanding and managing air pollution. The main project's objective is to develop an economical method of monitoring and alerting of outside air quality in real time. The syste...Show More
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted global electricity consumption patterns, particularly in residential sectors. Such disruptive events, though rare, can lead to unexpected shifts in demand profiles, affecting network planning and design. This study investigates the changes in electricity demand profiles in low-income townships in the Free State, South Africa, during the pandemic. Data f...Show More
Many devices and solutions for remote electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring have been proposed in the literature. These solutions typically have a large marginal cost per added sensor and are not seamlessly integrated with other smart home solutions. Here, we propose an ECG remote monitoring system that is dedicated to non-technical users in need of long-term health monitoring in residential environm...Show More
A comprehensive harmonic monitoring program has been designed and implemented on a typical medium-voltage distribution system in Australia. The monitoring program involved measurements of the three-phase harmonic currents and voltages from the residential, commercial, and industrial load sectors. Data over a three year period have been downloaded and available for analysis. The large amount of acq...Show More
New technologies, such as serious games and ambient activities, are being developed to address problems of under-stimulation, anxiety, and agitation in millions of people living with dementia in long term care homes. Frequent interactions with instrumented versions of these technologies may not only be beneficial for long term care residents, but may also provide a valuable new set of multifaceted...Show More
The massive technological development has led us to an ever-increasing dependency on electricity in recent times. This reliance leads us to prepare a comprehensive electricity consumption plan. However, consumers find it challenging to optimize energy usage due to the lack of suitable tools and technologies and heavy dependence on traditional practice patterns. They can greatly benefit from monito...Show More
The rapid progress of urbanization is leading to serious air and noise pollution. Therefore, significant research effort is focused on creating a fine-grained pollution and noise maps to identify urban areas with critical negative impact on human health. The traditional measuring methods typically use expensive and static equipment which is not suitable for dynamic urban environments because of th...Show More
We focused on reducing the power consumption of information and communication technology (ICT products as an effective measure because power consumption has expanded rapidly as these products have spread through offices and homes. We consider that a low motivation to save power is one reason preventing reduction in the power consumption of these products. Therefore we developed a system that monit...Show More
A number of applications founded on electromagnetic field (EMF) has increased, since wireless personal communication devices are used by a large number of people. Simultaneously, the controversy about adverse health effects of EMF exposure is in a focus of the public debate. Thus, there are constant demands for comprehensive investigation and monitoring of existing exposure to EMF. In last decade,...Show More

Load monitoring is a critical component of the operation of an electrical power system. However, in practical applications, the granularity of monitoring systems is often limited to the substation level, lacking accurate perception of the electricity load of lower-level users. This limitation results in monitoring systems being unable to proactively intervene with high-load users at the lower leve...Show More
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is neoteric progressing technology which addresses solutions to critical application environments.
