Electronic Loads Control and Management Using Priority Queue Algorithm on Android Based Smartphone

Abstract

In this modern age, electricity has become essential things in every aspect of living. To ensure its proper use, a program created to help regulate electricity usage based on user defined priority. In this study Priority Queue Algorithm is used to measure how long every can stay active so it will not drain user’s monthly electricity target usage. The calculation process is done on android device then the execution order to turn the devices on or off are sent to database MySQL The result obtained from this research that priority queue algorithm is able to regulate electricity usage based on rule testing and fast response time to control and retrieve data from the database, 0.006s average time on manual control system, 0.005s average time on automatic control system, and 0.004s average time on retrieving data.
