EDUCATION EE SEECS , Islamabad , 2.61 (2026) INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE Foundation University of Islamabad 01-Jul-2024 - 15-Aug-2024 Engaged in advanced electronic equipment, enhanced competence in electronic system design and technical troubleshooting. I have demonstrated marked abilities in technical execution, analytical reasoning, collaborative work, effective communication and application of engineering knowledge. FINAL YEAR PROJECT Smart Energy Meter with Intelligent Load Management and Adaptive Tariff Control This Final Year Project focuses on the design and implementation of a smart energy meter integrated with an intelligent load management system to improve power utilization and reduce the impact of load shedding. The system enables real-time monitoring of electrical loads using current and voltage sensors, with measured data processed by an ESP32 microcontroller for intelligent decision-making. Adaptive cost functions are dynamically updated based on grid conditions and utility-defined power supply priorities to promote automated partial load shedding instead of complete shutdowns. Loads are managed according to an optimal priority sequence and consumer-selected tariff plans, ensuring that critical loads remain operational during power shortages. The proposed solution supports demand-side management without relying on costly and inefficient battery storage systems. A mobile application/dashboard is also incorporated to allow real-time monitoring and control of connected loads, with optional integration of local renewable energy sources. Overall, the project aims to enhance energy efficiency, prevent complete blackouts, and contribute toward the development of smarter and more resilient power distribution systems.
