Energy consumption using HOMER software

Abstract

The present and future of power industries rely on effective usage of electric grids integrated with Information and communication technology which are called as smart grids. These grids provide better quality of service in terms of better resource and asset management, finding out faults in the system, efficient energy consumption by decreasing demand and supply gap. The present work throws light on preliminary investigation on energy and power consumption from the real time data collected from a higher education institution. Analysis is done using HOMER software.
