Design and implementation of PIR-array to reduce power consumption for Iraq’s households

Abstract EN

The purpose of this study is to design and implement a model using PIR-sensors for motion detection to reduce the electrical power for designing smart home requirements for Iraq households.

Reducing energy consumption of home appliances plays an important role in modern designs of smart homes.

The PIR (passive infrared) sensor has been designed to detect human motion and has many applications especially in security fields.

The main concept of the proposed work in this paper has focused on controlling the electrical devices (appliances), based on the location of a person movement inside the home.

The design of the circuit control has also been designed to run specific devices located closed to person position in a room by designing PIR sensor array mounted in different angles.

The proposed work has been compared with normal state by finding consumption in power (kWh) and tariffs belong to MoE-Iraq.
