Abstract

This paper presents a software solution for monitoring and controlling electrical power supply in standalone houses, integrating photovoltaic panels, lithium-ion batteries, and Diesel generators. The system aims to ensure reliable and efficient energy autonomy. By employing real-time data analytics, the software analyses load demand and environmental factors, facilitating informed decisions on resource utilization. Simulation results illustrate the applicability of this software in energy management, highlighting the system's adaptability and responsiveness to dynamic energy demands. This approach lays the groundwork for future research in decentralized energy systems.
