abstract
It is known that electrical energy consumption is higher during the day than at
night.This is a challenge to balance the consumption levels because when the consumption is
high at night, it does not have energy production to supply and the tariff usage is cheaper. Aspiring to avoid the users consuming too much electrical energy and work on this usage control
during the night, the present work aims to develop smart plug modules that could self-manage
power in residence utilizing the minimum of grid energy. In this sense, the modules may use the
overproduction of energy coming from generator systems (such as photovoltaic panels), eliminating the necessity of battery usage. Sometimes, the power supply could provide different values of
current, consequently, the use of this electric energy needs to adapt according to the production.
Therefore, the final objective is to build an intelligent electrical management system that works
on energy efficiency.
