Energy Management System Based on Augmented Reality for Human-Computer Interaction in a Smart City

As the importance of energy demand management grows, Energy Management System (EMS) is becoming increasingly popular. The existing EMS monitors the energy status based on the graph or numerical value through the monitor screen. Consumers have difficulties in understanding and using energy status through EMS. Therefore, this paper proposes a new interface EMS that can be easily accessed and utilized by consumers. It provides a new life value to consumers through a new interface called Augmented Reality and a diorama that can visualize it intuitively. Ultimately, the proposed system can be utilized for urban energy management and integrated energy management in future smart cities.
