Aim: To find out the problem statement of the project

Smart Energy Management System (SEMS)
Problem Statement Description:
To design and implement an IoT and AI-based energy management system
capable of monitoring real-time energy usage.
With the rapid increase in energy consumption and the rising costs associated
with energy production, households and industries are facing significant
challenges in managing their energy usage efficiently. In addition,
environmental concerns regarding carbon emissions have increased the need
for sustainable energy practices. Traditional energy monitoring methods are
often manual, inefficient, and prone to human error. Additionally, the growing
demand for sustainable energy practices, driven by environment concerns, calls
for smarter solutions to reduce energy wastage and carbon emissions. The
primary challenges include difficulty of tracking real-time energy consumption
across different devices, understanding energy patterns that could allow for
more efficient use and Limited automation in energy-saving measures, leading
to wastage and inefficiencies. To address this issue, the Smart Energy
Management System (SEMS) will be developed to provide an intelligent,
automated solution for monitoring and managing energy usage. The system
will use IoT sensors to track energy consumption, AI models to analyze data
and predict usage patterns, and automation tools to implement energy-saving
strategies. The goal is to reduce energy wastage, lower costs, and make energy
consumption more sustainable by providing real-time feedback, automating
energy-saving actions, and offering actionable recommendations.
Objective:
 To provide users with personalized recommendations to reduce energy
consumption and save costs.
 To automate energy-saving actions, such as switching off devices or
adjusting settings based on consumption patterns.
 To integrate renewable energy sources (solar, wind, etc.) into the system,
optimizing their use and storage.
 To offer insights into energy usage patterns through data analytics,
helping users make informed decisions.
