Simple and robust method for detecting the electrical appliances using markers and programmable logic devices

The detection of appliances and their location is important for the efficient management and automatic operation of appliances and their power consumption. In this paper, we describe a simple and robust method of detecting appliances based on their location by using programmable logic devices (PLDs). The results of simulation and implementation are also included.
