Abstract

Disasters cause widespread power outages, isolating affected communities and hindering essential services. This paper presents a Smart Grid system integrating solar energy, battery storage, real-time IoT monitoring, and a hand-crank generator. By distributing energy to local hotspots with minimal loss, the system ensures reliable power for communication, lighting, and basic appliances in disaster-affected areas. Powered by a 10W solar panel and a portable 12V battery, energy flow is managed by Arduino UNO and ESP32 microcontrollers. Current and voltage are monitored using INA219 sensors, with data transmitted to a custom website. A hand-crank generator supplements power during emergencies. This study discusses the design, implementation, benefits, challenges, and future enhancements of this portable smart grid.
