Real-time monitoring and optimization methods for user-side energy management based on edge computing.

This paper presents a comprehensive framework for real-time monitoring and optimization of user-side energy management systems leveraging edge computing technology. The proposed approach addresses key challenges in traditional centralized energy management by bringing computation and data processing closer to end devices. The framework encompasses three main components: an edge computing-based system architecture for data acquisition and processing, real-time monitoring methods for energy consumption and power quality, and optimization techniques for demand response and distributed energy resource coordination. Through case studies and experimental analysis, we demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves significant improvements in energy efficiency, response time, and cost reduction compared to conventional centralized approaches. The results show up to 30% increase in renewable energy utilization and 25% reduction in operating costs across various deployment scenarios. This work provides valuable insights into the application of edge computing for next-generation energy management systems while highlighting remaining challenges and future research directions.
