Methodologies that optimize product development are becoming increasingly important due to global competition. Additionally, customers have been more demanding in terms of quality, also requiring environmentally friendly goods and services. In order accomplish these goals, this study builds a modularization framework for developing new products. We developed our protocol based on the Modular Fu...

In present days there are wide varieties of household electric appliances along with different power consumption habits of consumers, making identifying electric appliances without presetting difficulty. This paper introduces smart appliance management system to recognize electric appliances in home networks, which uses sensing devices that measure current to calculate the power consumption of ...

Many countries are rolling out smart electricity meters. These measure a home’s total power demand. However, research into consumer behaviour suggests that consumers are best able to improve their energy efficiency when provided with itemised, appliance-by-appliance consumption information. Energy disaggregation is a computational technique for estimating appliance-by-appliance energy consumpti...
