15. INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) BASED SMART ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY INTEGRATION

The use and efficacy of Internet of Things (IoT ) - based smart energy management systems in residential and business settings are examined in this study. The research explores how IoT technologies contribute to energy conservation through real-time monitoring, automated control systems, and data-driven d ecision making. Over a 24-month period from January 2022 to December 2023, information was gathered from 50 residential structures and 15 business establishments. IoT-based energy management systems decreased overall energy usage by an average of 23% in re sidential buildings and 31% in commercial facilities, according to the report. The design of IoT-based systems, implementation difficulties, and potential future paths for this field's advancement are all further examined in this paper.
