Economical home system can be defined as one realization of home that have a cost-effective ideal by using specific set of technologies combined with the renewable energy as a power supply. This system has a highly advance for lighting, temperature control, socket and own power supply by using solar panel. This system is developed in this project and focused on B40 community that represents the bottom 40% of income earners and also this project becomes suitable for this community for getting an energy efficiency system. Due to the COVID-19, B40 households were reported to have lost their jobs causing financial hardship and had to face the issue of high electricity bills which are very burdensome for them at all in order to pay the cost electricity for monthly. The aim of the article is to design and simulate the solar power system including battery storage in suitable software for a residential house especially in B40 community home and also to analyze the potential of battery storage in order to store the energy from solar panel. Therefore, the economical electricity home system using solar energy for B40 community is proposed in this project for producing an energy efficient system at home. In addition, an electrical floor plan and floor plan of B40 community home is designed in the SketchUp software that using basic electrical equipment such as lighting, ceiling fan and socket. The system is developed by using the MATLAB software in order to produce the result of energy efficiency by using the renewable energy which is solar system and also battery storage. According to the data produced from the calculation of old bills and new bills, the energy consumptions are calculated and also be compared before and after using the renewable energy which is using solar system. The data obtained through calculation of maximum demand in new bill is used in the simulation of solar system in MATLAB software. The results obtained show that after using an energy-efficient load, the monthly new bill is around RM 27.79 which is around RM 10.75 less than the monthly old bill before using an energy-efficient load. It can be concluded that the use of renewable energy in B40 community home can save the energy and also money.

Hurricanes, floods, tornados and earthquakes create natural disasters that can destroy homes, businesses and the natural environment. Such disasters can happen with little or no warning, leaving hundreds or even thousands of people without medical services, potable water, sanitation, communications and electrical services for up to several weeks. The 2004 hurricane season ravaged the State of Florida, U.S.A., with four major hurricanes within a 6-week timeframe. Over nine million people evacuated their homes and damage to property was extensive. One proactive strategy to minimize this type of destruction and disruption to lives is the implementation of disaster-resistant buildings that are functional and operational. This approach uses the best energy-efficient buildings, fortified to the latest codes, and incorporates renewable energy systems. Businesses, government facilities and homes benefit from using photovoltaics to power critical items. This concept is a mitigation tool to reduce damage and cost of the destructive forces of hurricanes and other disasters. This past season’s experience showed that buildings designed and built to the latest standards with photovoltaic and solar thermal systems survived with little damage and continued to perform after the storm passed. Even following a disaster, energy conservation and use of renewables promotes energy assurance while allowing occupants to maintain some resemblance of a normal life.

The idea of replacing the old lighting system with energy-efficient ones has been given excessive attention, particularly in the territorial and Arabic world. This move is significant for its helpful effects on both the economy and the environment, especially in Iraq which smarts from light-related problems. It correspondingly aids the light distribution offices as it will save them from several light generation troubles and their effects on the hours of electrical power supply. The light consumers will also benefit from reduced bills due to approximately 50% reduction in power consumption by the energy-efficient system. The energy-efficient lighting system has replaced the traditional technical lighting owing to its energy saving capability and environmental friendliness. These problems would enhance the use of efficient energy programmer to reduce energy consumption as the world switches to the use of renewable energy. This study presents the use of modernized lighting system with an emphasis on its economic and environmental benefits. The results are applied by MATLAB version17b prototypical is built to evaluate the behavior of smart lighting street technology and renewable energy to reduce cost and energy consumption. During the study, 100 modernized LED electric lamps of 150W capacity were used to replace 100 High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps of 400W. The economic cost of the replacement was calculated based on the price of the LED lamps compared to those of the HPS lamps. The environmental impact was determined by calculating the global cost of the electrical energy consumed by the LED lamps compared to those consumed by the HPS lamps in Iraq.

Abstract To develop environmental friendly and energy-efficient data centers, it is prudent to leverage on-site renewable sources like solar and wind. Data centers deploy distributed UPS systems to improve efficiency, scalability, and reliability of UPS systems, thereby handling the intermittent nature of renewable energy. We propose a renewableenergy manager called REDUX to (1) offer a smart way of managing energy supply of data centers powered by grid and renewable energy and (2) maintain a desirable balance between energy cost and system performance. To achieve this overarching objective, REDUX judiciously orchestrates distribute UPS devices (i.e., recharge or discharge) to allocate energy resources when (1) grid price is at low or high states or (2) renewable energy generation is at a low or fluctuate level. REDUX not only guarantees the stable operation of daily workload conditions, but also cuts back the energy cost of data centers by improving power resource utilization. Compared with the existing strategies, REDUX demonstrates a prominent capability of mitigating average peak workload and boosting renewable-energy utilization.
