Overview

The Energy System project is a web-based platform designed to optimize energy consumption and reduce electricity costs. By intelligently managing battery storage, the system charges during off-peak hours when electricity prices are lower and discharges during peak hours when prices are higher. This automation enhances energy efficiency and minimizes manual intervention.

Features

Intelligent Energy Management: Utilizes real-time electricity pricing to determine optimal battery charging and discharging schedules.

Automated Operations: Schedules battery charging during low-cost periods and discharging during high-cost periods without user intervention.

Real-Time Monitoring: Provides live tracking of energy consumption, battery status, and cost savings.

User-Friendly Interface: Offers an intuitive dashboard for users to monitor and manage their energy usage effectively.

System Architecture

The project follows a modular architecture comprising three primary layers:

Services Layer:

Contains the business logic and algorithms for energy optimization.

Projects:

EnergySystem.Services: Implements core services for energy management.

EnergySystem.Services.Data: Manages data-related operations and interactions.

Data Layer:

Manages data persistence, including user information, energy consumption records, and battery status.

Projects:

EnergySystem.Data: Defines the database context and entities.

EnergySystem.Data.Models: Contains the data models representing the database schema.

EnergySystem.Data.Seeding: Handles initial data seeding for the application.

EnergySystem.Data.Common: Provides common data-related utilities and repositories.

Web Layer:

Handles user interactions through a responsive web interface, facilitating seamless communication with the services layer.

Projects:

EnergySystem.Web: The main web application project containing controllers and views.

EnergySystem.Web.ViewModels: Defines the view models used to pass data between controllers and views.
